Russell Means. / RECLAMATION MIN NG & SAFETY <br />I/ <br />Re: Stormwater Drainage Update. Smith Pit No. M-1978-085, Amendment"-01' <br />Enclosed please find: PIFECE <br />(1. Exhibit A-1 (Stormwater Map 2008); APR 17 2009 <br />(2. Exhibit E-3 (Amended Stormwater Map 2009) Division of Reclamation, <br />(3. Photos of Smith Pit Stormwater Basins. Miring and safety <br />In the first instance (Exhibit A-1) the map shows Stormwater Outfall No. 1 on the east <br />boundary of the Reclamation Area. This was an erosion channel that existed before <br />Moffat County first entered this gravel pit. We repaired the erosion area with a berm 10' <br />wide at the top and roughly 6' high, which created a shallow settling basin and a wide <br />outlet to the southeast on a nearly flat grade. <br />The second Stormwater map (Amended Stormwater Map (Exhibit E-3) shows the current <br />position of the drainage basin, and outlet, along with arrows showing the direction of <br />water flow. Notice that the Basin services a very small local drainage area on land that <br />has been re-vegetated, and that Moffat County believes is eligible for release. The Basin <br />outlet flows into the natural drainage system at the east boundary line, of the-permit. <br />Notice on Exhibit E-3 that the clay mining area has created a second Basin that collects <br />the rest of the local drainage water lying north of County Road No. 4. There is no outlet, <br />and Moffat County has notified the BLM (Little Snake Resource Area) that water <br />sometimes collects in this basin for about 2 months in the spring and early summer; we <br />suggested that they file on a water storage right for that water. <br />is Stormwater update was prepared by: <br />arvin Moore (Consultant for the Moffat County Road Department) <br />1570 Ranney, Craig, CO 81625 <br />(970) 824-9249 <br />E-mail = marvinmoore1249kmsn.com
