The purpose of these excavations would be to <br /> allow water to temporarily stand, allowing heavier sediment fractions to fall out of suspension. <br /> The water would then flow through the silt fence and into the Dutch Creek Diversion. Other <br /> measures such as anchored straw bales and the use of berms may also be employed if deemed <br /> necessary. <br /> It should be noted that final reclamation of this area is planned to occur in 1999. Final <br /> reclamation would include land shaping, drainage control, topsoil application and revegetation. <br /> Minerals and Geology is interested in ensuring that it does not incur any obligations under the <br /> Clean Water Act or its State counter part, as a result of accomplishing the Dutch Creek Diversion <br /> Project. Therefore, we would request that the Water Quality Control Division and staff of the <br /> Office of the Attorney General, if appropriate, provide confirmation that the management <br /> practices to be employed by the Division during and following construction constitute non-point <br /> sources, and are not subject to regulatory requirements or permits. <br /> Due to the brevity of the reclamation construction season, and because the Dutch Creek <br /> Diversion Project construction will begin on October 1 of this year, there is an urgency to our <br /> request. We appreciate any efforts undertaken to provide the Division with a written <br /> determination prior to October 1, 1998. <br /> Thank you for your attention to this matter, and please contact me if I can provide you with any <br /> further information. <br /> cc: Michael Long <br /> David Bucknam <br />
