July 18, 2012 C- 2010- 089/New Horizon North Mine MLT <br />21.33 cfs. The concrete division box (Photo 2) divides the flow into the Second Park Lateral <br />(24" HDPE pipe) and the Forsman Ditch (open channel). <br />At the point where the buried pipeline reaches 2650 Road, an above - ground system of pipes and <br />valves further divides the flow, with a large concrete stand -pipe (Photo 3) charging the next <br />segment of pipeline for its route around the southern end of the perinit area (Photo 4). Vents are <br />installed at various locations along the pipeline to allow any air to bleed off. Lines for each <br />recipient of water are fitted with totalizing (acre -feet) flow meters which also show the current <br />rate in cubic feet per second (Photo 5). <br />At the pipeline's terminus, on the west side of 2600 Road, an additional assembly of valved <br />pipes (Photo 6) restores flows to various downstream users. The valves reduce the water <br />pressure in the pipelines prior to its being released. <br />Bridge Replacement <br />One condition of the special use permit issued by Montrose County for the NH North Mine is a <br />Road Improvement Agreement. One aspect of this agreement is the replacement of the 2700 Rd <br />bridge over Tuttle Draw (Photo 7). We observed that earthwork for the detour alignment has <br />been completed (Photo 8), and that Tuttle Draw flow is handled by a temporary culvert pipe. <br />Mr. Gubka said that county personnel performed the work that has been completed to date. <br />Number of Partial Inspection this Fiscal Year: 1 <br />Number of Complete Inspections this Fiscal Year: 0 Page 3 of 8 <br />
