Please address item 26 from the first adequacy review: <br />26. Since 140 Acres of open groundwater will remain after the site is reclaimed, <br />Lafarge must obtain a court approved augmentation plan from the Office of the <br />State Engineer. The Division is required to set the financial warranty at a level <br />which reflects the actual current cost of fulfilling the conditions of the <br />Reclamation Plan per Rule 4.2.1(1). Therefore, without an augmentation plan in <br />place the financial warranty must be set at an amount which accounts for the <br />exposed groundwater. The Division has identified several options for <br />determining the amount of the financial warranty. The applicant must choose one <br />of the following options to be included in the financial warranty calculation: <br />a. Backfill all of the pits to two feet above the groundwater level. <br />b. Install a slurry wall or clay liner. <br />c. Provide the Division with documentation from SEO, which demonstrates <br />that the Application owns a sufficient amount of shares of water to cover <br />the evaporative losses from the exposed groundwater and the said shares <br />have been committed to the SEO should the financial warranty forfeited <br />and the permit revoked. <br />If the applicant obtains an augmentation plan prior to final release, then the financial <br />warranty will be adjusted accordipgly. <br />Lafarge is still working through <br />this comment. They will make a <br />Date. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />TETRA TECH <br />Pamela Franch Hora, AICP <br />Senior Planner <br />Attachments <br />cc: Anne Johnson <br />PA23511\ 133-23511-08005\Deliverables\DRMS\Adequacy <br />>ome issues necessary to decide how to respond to <br />decision regarding this issue prior to the Decision <br />12 15 09 comments.doc
