ponds at the Fruita Loadout Facility have been designed to retain water from 100 -year <br />precipitation events from runoff within the facility...". As correctly stated on page 12 <br />of the BA, the three ponds are designed to contain a 25 -year storm event. <br />Correction: As correctly stated on page 12 of the Biological Assessment, the three ponds <br />are designed to contain a 25 -year storm event. The Addendum #2 (page 2) sentence <br />should read: <br />"The three sediment ponds at the Fruita Loadout Facility have been designed to retain <br />water from 25 -year precipitation events from runoff within the facility... ". <br />3. The BA (page 12) and Addendum #2 (page 2) states "sediment would be removed from <br />all ponds when the ponds are 75 percent full of sediment ". CAM has provided a <br />clarification to this statement. <br />Correction: CAM has clarified that the sediment would be removed when the sediment <br />level reaches no more than 75 percent of the designed sediment capacity. Both the BA <br />(page 12) and Addendum #2 (page 2) should read: <br />"Sediment would be removed from a pond when the sediment level reaches no more than <br />75 percent of the designed sediment capacity ". <br />The end result would be the same, as water and sediment would be removed from the ponds to <br />an approved disposal facility, stated in Conservation Measure #4 (page 27 of the BA), rather than <br />discharged directly into Reed Wash as in the Proposed Action. The conservation measure would <br />still avoid or minimize effects by the Proposed Action to Colorado pikeminnow and critical <br />habitat in Reed Wash and the 100 -year floodplain as stated in the BA. As correctly stated in <br />Addendum #2, there is no surface connectivity between swales on the west side of Reed Wash <br />(addressed earlier in the Addendum) and the sediment ponds which are on the east side of Reed <br />Wash. <br />Thank you and your staff for the coordinated effort. Please feel free to contact me at <br />dpacula @osmre.gov or (303) 293 -5044 regarding any questions concerning the corrections and <br />clarification language above. <br />cc: USFWS -Grand Junction, Terry Ireland <br />CO -DRMS -Grand Junction, Mike Boulay <br />Sincerely, <br />Dawn S. Pacula, Natural Resource Specialist <br />Program Support Division <br />
