be stipulated. <br /> Response: The WQCD recognizes the potential relevance of this concern at several <br /> of the sites in the Consent Decree. This issue has been addressed in the project Work <br /> Plans. Generally, as complete of removal of mine waste and contaminated material as <br /> is practicable will be achieved. Soil amendments will be added to topsoil materials <br /> and mine waste will be covered with 14 to 16 inches of soil material. Where mine <br /> waste is removed, revegetation is required to be done in accordance with the relevant <br /> provisions of the Rules of the Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br /> PERMITS <br /> 1. Comment: For all Permits DMRs need to be sent to EPA's new address: <br /> U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (8ENF--7) <br /> Office of Enforcement, Compliance and Environmental Justice <br /> Technical Enforcement Program <br /> 99918th Street, Suite 500 <br /> Denver, CO 80202-2466 <br /> Response: Permits will be sent to EPA's new address. <br /> Permit for Mitigation Projects CO-0044768 <br /> 2.
