Varra Companies, Inc. <br />Office of Special Projects <br />8120 Gage Street Frederick. Colorado 80516 Telephone (970) 353-8310 Fax(970)353-4047 <br />over a developable mineral resource in violation of Title 34, and otherwise <br />lacking any understood prior protections, while clearly within the intent of their <br />own risk. <br />For additional perspective on this consideration and matters pertaining to Kate <br />Pickford's concerns, below; please refer to the complete CGRS correspondence <br />of 15 February 2011, included with this submittal. <br />ADDITIONAL Questions under Exhibit G - from Kate Pickford: <br />A-1. It is apparent from the models submitted in the preliminary adequacy <br />responses, that the cone of depression resulting from dewatering of the pits will <br />include areas with domestic and commercial wells. The applicant should include <br />a list of wells, located within the estimated cone of depression; supply the <br />Division with a report indicating the potential impacts to these wells; supply a <br />plan to monitor the cone of depression to determine when impacts to those wells <br />might occur; and a plan to preemptively mitigate the possible impacts to these <br />wells. <br />Please refer to A-4, below. <br />A-2. The applicant must have a mitigation plan for protection of wells and <br />vegetation in place prior to approval for the permit. <br />The applicant is unaware of any circumstances which would cause significant <br />impact to surrounding lands and vegetation. This is supported by the October <br />2010 C.G.R.S. groundwater discharge report, and as supplemented in the <br />C.G.R.S. correspondence of 15 February 2011, as included with this submittal. <br />In the absence of any reasoned examination of the evidence to the contrary, <br />significant impact will not occur to surrounding wells and vegetations, and a plan <br />of mitigation for the same appears unwarranted. An expanded discussion of this <br />concern continues in A-3, following. <br />Varra Companies, Inc. correspondence of 23 February 2011 to the Colorado Office of Mined Land Reclamation 12 <br />(OMLR) in reply to OMLR correspondence of 4 October 2010 - Western Sugar Reclamation Land <br />Development Project - M-2010-049.
