Rule 4.09.2 - Excess Spoil <br />16. In Colowyo's response to the Division's incompleteness question 1 (the Division's 14 <br />September 2009 Incompleteness Letter) a chart is included that shows permanent and <br />temporary fill volumes for the East and West Taylor Fills and the temporary overburden <br />stockpiles. These tables are inaccurate. A reconstruction of the temporary fill volumes <br />(from the 7 December 2009 Colowyo response letter) is shown below. <br />Temporary Fill <br />Volumes <br />PR-02 <br />TR-81 <br /> <br />Section 16 Fill 0 11,969,000 <br />West Taylor Fill 6,091,000 <br />East Taylor Fill 46,213,000 <br />Total 52,304,000 11,969,000 <br />With the permitting of South Taylor (PR-02) Colowyo permitted two temporary overburden <br />stockpiles, TS East and TS West. TS East was permitted to sit on Section 16 reclamation, <br />east of the final cut of the Section 16 Pit, and was permitted to contain approximately <br />13,300,000 cubic yards of overburden. TS West was permitted to sit on the East Taylor Fill <br />and contain approximately 29,800,000 cubic yards of overburden. No temporary <br />overburden was permitted for storage on the West Taylor Fill or in the final cut of the <br />Section 16 Pit. <br />Original PR-02 Volume <br />TS East 1 11,846,426 <br />TS East 2 1,469,489 <br />Total 13,315,915 <br /> <br />TS West 1 10, 520,175 <br />TS West 2 19,329,024 <br />Total 29,849,199 <br /> <br />Total PR-02 <br />Spoil <br />43,165,114 <br />The chart Colowyo included in the 7 December 2009 response letter does not correctly list <br />the original permitted volumes or locations for temporary overburden. Additionally, the <br />chart shows that in TR-81 there is no proposed overburden temporarily stockpiled on the <br />East Taylor or West Taylor Fills. This information does not match the information shown on <br />Map 45 - South Taylor Fill. Cross-sections A-A' and E-E' clearly show a large volume of <br />temporary overburden stockpiled on the East Taylor Fill. Cross-sections 13-13' and D-D' <br />clearly show temporary overburden stockpiled on the West Taylor Fill. Cross-section E-E' <br />clearly shows temporary overburden stockpiled in the final cut area of the Section 16 Pit.
