The <br />enclosed EPP is being submitted for your review and approval as Technical Revision (TR) #18 to <br />Permit M -1977 -493. <br />As you know, the AM -06 Stipulations require Climax to provide copies of the EPP (and Water <br />Quality Monitoring Plan) to Eagle Park Reservoir Company, Eagle River Water and Sanitation <br />District, Upper Eagle Regional Water Authority, and Clinton Ditch and Reservoir Company at least <br />two weeks prior to submission to DRMS. Climax provided draft copies of the complete EPP with <br />Water Quality Monitoring Plan on July 8, 2011, and subsequently met with their technical <br />consultants, who also provided written comments afterwards. Climax addressed each of these <br />comments in a written response that provided additional responsive information and noted where <br />revisions to the EPP were made. Climax plans to continue to engage in further discussions with their <br />technical consultants in the corning days. We will keep the DRMS informed of the progression of <br />those interactions. <br />Enclosed are two copies of TR -18 and the $1,006.00 fee applicable to a 112d operation.
