WAN O-AG <br />September 23, 2010 <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Attn: Michael A. Cunningham. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />13 13 Sherman Street. RM 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: FIRST ADEQUACY REVIEW RESPONSE <br />FILE NUMBER M-1977-223 WILEY PIT (AM-011) <br />OPERATOR: dBS Five Rivers Cattle Feeding <br />Dear Mr. Cunningham: <br />]his letter is provided as clarification to design and operation aspects of the proposed Colorado Beef <br />Reservoir I'or the Colorado Beef feedyard owned and operated by .IBS I-'ive Rivers Cattle Feeding LLC <br />(JBS). A freshwater reservoir will be constructed on property owned by.IBS north of the feedyard that will <br />be used as a water Storage structure tier livestock use. Water will be transferred from the reservoir to the <br />feedyard via an underground pipeline. This underground pipeline will cross ratan-trade structures: U.S. <br />Highway 50. the Amity Canal and existing utilities. The construction of the water pipeline is not related to <br />any mining activities but is specific only to the supply of water to livestock at the feedyard. <br />The design of' tile pipeline considers the reierenced man-made structures and no damage is expected to occur <br />to the structures during construction. Furthermore, construction is expected to occur such that no <br />interruption will occur with the operation of the Amity Canal or the existing utilities. .1135, as owner of the <br />project, will pay for any damages that occur to the man-made structures during construction. <br />The contractor selected for project construction will be expected to complete the project without inY damage <br />to the man-made structures. In addition, the contractor will be responsible for ail utility line locates (through <br />the Utility Notification Center of Colorado) prior to construction and any damages incurred to utilities during <br />construction will be covered under the contractors liability insurance policy as part of the project contract <br />with JBS. <br />Prior to construction, the contractor will be responsible Ibr obtaining the required utility/special use permit <br />From the Colorado Department ofTransportation (CDOT) liar crossing; U.S. Highway 50. Additionally, 113S <br />will file liar a Storntwater Construction Permit through the Colorado Department of Public Health and <br />Environment (CDPI-IE) prior to construction. <br />In my opinion, there should be no inherent problems associated with this pipeline construction project and <br />that no damage is expected to occur to any manmade structures. Should you have any questions or require <br />additional information, please contact me. <br />41`Qb`?p '11- <br />Sincerelv. ely. `?`0?0•.yrt,.
