The Mining Plan states the pits will be dewatered to accommodate dry <br />mining. Please describe the dewatering setup in detail. In addition, please <br />specify the location of the discharge points 1. or each of the tracts. <br />Included with this submittal, please find the application and subsequent approved <br />Stormwater Discharge Permit as issued by the Colorado Department of Public <br />Health and Environment. Also included is a formal stormwater management <br />plan, showing the management and direction of flow of stormwater, as well as <br />point discharge locations as identified in the accompanying maps. Discharge <br />during extraction will be directed into the existing upland drainage seep where <br />the waters make their way to the Cache La Poudre River. Discharged water will <br />be settled into small 1.0± acre depressions within the Tract areas to be <br />extracted, prior to entry into the seep. <br />8. Will the applicant construct a sediment pond as part of dewatering <br />operations? If so, please provide the dimensions of the pond, the location and a <br />description of how the sediment pond will be reclaimed. <br />The small sediment structures described in Item #7, above, will be extracted <br />when no longer needed. Since the basins will be temporary and extracted as <br />necessary, their exact location and dimensions will vary according to extraction <br />logistics encountered and field fit. <br />9. Please list and locate on the applicable exhibit all structures that will be <br />constructed on the site (i.e., plants, office, scale-house, etc.) and provide their <br />associated dimensions and composition in order to accurately estimate the cost <br />for removal in the reclamation bond estimate. <br />Varra Companies, inc. correspondence to the Colorado Office of Mined Land Reclamation (OMLR) 4 <br />in reply to OMLR correspondence of 4 October 2010 - Western Sugar Reclamation Land Development Project <br />- M-2010-049.
