MINED LAND RECLAMATION
Cofo. Dept. of Natural Resource
We have reviewed your letter of March 3, 1982 regarding your questions and
comments with respect to the subject application. It is the purpose of this
letter to set out comments regarding the issues raised.
We are hereby using your March 13, 1982 letter to Siegrist as a checklist
and are responding to those items utilizing the same numbering system. This

with a ditch on grade along the north side of the property which is
east of the centerline of Section 35. This new ditch will accept the
irrigation tail water from above and carry it easterly on the Siegrist
site with discharge to the river being made along the easterly end n K
of the Siegrist property. Historically, the irrigation tail water
and runoff from the north above the site was diverted around this
area and we simply expect to continue that historical use.
2. No direct discharge of water to the stream is anticipated as a result
of the dewatering operation for this gravel mine. Please refer to
the second paragraph under Exhibit G-Water Information, page 5, of
our original application. As stated therein, water from dewatering
operations will be pumped into two major existing ponds; one on the
