Corey Heaps <br />CAM Colorado LLC <br />June 21, 2011 <br />Page 48 <br />application sections where such practices are addressed in more detail. In the same <br />subsection, water depletions and associated measures are referenced. A sentence fragment <br />related to the water depletion discussion is missing, between the bottom of page 2.05 -43 <br />and top of page 2.05 -44. Please restore the missing sentence fragment. After sedimentation <br />control plan is developed for the rail this can be better addressed. <br />CAM Response: Please see revised page 2.05 -43 for discussion of short term sediment <br />control. The long term sedimentation control plan is discussed in various parts of section <br />2.05.3(4). The sentence fragment has been corrected on page 2.05 -44. <br />Division Response: The applicant committed to using best management practices to <br />protect the watershed, including the batch weigh system for loading rail cars minimizing <br />coal spillage into Reed Wash and the use of silt fences and/or straw bales during <br />construction of the rail bridge. However, CAM has not specifically addressed the CDOW's <br />requests as outlined in paragraph 4 of their November 25, 2010 comment letter regarding <br />the proposed Fruita Loadout project. Please discuss other protective measures that will <br />be implemented to protect the watershed such as a designed catchment structure to <br />prevent spill material from entering the Wash. Further the CDOW requests that <br />CAM prepare a Spill Prevention Plan including a spill location for the Wash span site <br />adjacent to the riparian area and wetlands, and has requested that they be notified of <br />any spill or release in a riparian area or entering a stream, wetland or water body. <br />The Division notes that an SPCC Plan is typically a requirement of the CDPS permit <br />but there is no reference to a SPCC Plan anywhere in the PAP. Please update the <br />PAP to include the SPCC Plan if applicable and provide a substantive response to <br />each of the CDOW requests as detailed in paragraph 4 of their comment letter as <br />described above. <br />86. Please expand the discussion under Subsection (2)(a)(ii) regarding impact <br />minimization/habitat enhancement. Specific details will need to be included within the <br />appropriate sections of the application (and referenced in (2)(a)(ii)), regarding measures <br />that will be employed to establish vegetation cover on the 23.6 acres of essentially barren <br />Iand dominated by exposed and buried industrial wastes. Please summarize the practices <br />that will be employed (e.g. soil importation and/or burial of exposed wastes, seeding <br />practices and seed mix, success standards, etc.), and reference the relevant application <br />sections where such practices are addressed in more detail. <br />CAM Response: Please see revised pages 2.05 -44 and 2.05 -28 regarding reclamation <br />practices for industrial lands. <br />Division Response: Response accepted. <br />87. Please expand the narrative under (a)(ii), to address compliance with the requirements of <br />Rule 4.18 (4) for powerline construction (provide construction design that will ensure that <br />electrocution hazard to raptors will be minimized). Further, include narrative addressing <br />
