1, 000 Ibs /acre to add nitrogen and some organics. Specifically, soil analyses will occur when the growth medium has been delivered to the site where it will be used, and not in the stockpile location. Previous experience indicates that one composite soil sample for every five acres will be collected and analyzed for the parameters mentioned above. This has been the approved sample frequency, as stated in previous amendments to Permit M -1980 -244. Although difficult to "ensure" the samples are representative of the growth medium materials, past experience and revegetation success indicates CC &V's reclamation practices (i. e. one composite sample for every S acres of reclaimed area) are working. 6.4.13 EXHIBIT M — Other Permits and Licenses 26. Dam permits — Related to Comment 29c below, if either of the SGVLF Phase 1 or Phase 2 Sediment Ponds is jurisdictional, a permit will need to be obtained from the Office of the State Engineer (OSE). Please clarify whether or not a dam permit will be needed for either sediment pond. (Note: the OSE defines a dam as jurisdictional if it exceeds 10 feet in height measured vertically from the elevation of the lowest point of the natural surface of the ground where that point occurs along the longitudinal centerline of the dam up to the crest of the emergency spillway of the dam). RESPONSE. CC &V appreciates the reminder about OSE requirements. CC &V designs and constructs dams below the 10 feet in height measured vertically from the elevation of the lowest point of the natural surface of the ground where that point occurs along the longitudinal centerline of the dam up to the crest of the emergency spillway of the dam so that dams at the Cresson Project do not meet jurisdictional criteria. The SG VLF Phase 1 and Phase 2 Sediment Ponds are designed and will be constructed so that a permit will not need to be obtained from the OSE. 27. Well permits — Please comment on whether new monitoring wells are anticipated for AM -10 and if monitoring wells are to be installed, will they be permitted with the Office of the State Engineer. RESPONSE. No new monitoring wells are anticipated at the Cresson Project for Amendment No. 10. There was no discussion in the Project Description as such. Should additional monitoring wells be determined in the future to be needed, subsequent to approval of the A= Application, CC &V will permit any potential news wells with the OSE. 28. Highway 67 relocation — Are Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) permits expected for any of the activities associated with the temporary tunnel or other aspects of the highway relocation discussed on page 7 -9 of Exhibit U? RESPONSE. All necessary Colorado Department of Transportation ( "CDOT') permits that would be required to be obtained for activities associated with the temporary tunnel or other aspects of the highway relocation discussed on page 7 -9 of Exhibit U will be obtained from CDOT. 6.4.15 EXHIBIT O — Owner(s) of Record of Affected Land (Surface Area) and Owners of Substance to be Mined 29.
