The <br />office building (an old farmhouse) is currently being used as an office, but ultimately will <br />probably be removed. Reclamation during the next reporting year will be as continued <br />backfill in the southern and central area of the permit site. <br />Groundwater monitoring results are now being performed as part of a groundwater <br />quality monitoring program required by the CDPHE for the inert filling and results are <br />given to them quarterly. Monitoring separately for this DRMS permit is no longer <br />necessary as the monitoring is now being handled through the CDPHE. Should any water <br />
