In the Golden <br />Reservoir, along the eastern boundary, it shows a 75-foot wetlands bench with 4:1 slopes. <br />The Golden Reservoir is to be reclaimed as a lined water storage reservoir - we do not want to <br />change this. We would like to change one minor part of the reclamation of this reservoir. We <br />would like to take out the wetlands bench and 4:1 slopes. We would like to reclaim the 75 feet <br />in the same manner as the rest of the reservoir -with no wetlands bench and with 3:1 slopes. <br />We have looked through all of the application and permitting paperwork and have not found any <br />reason as to why the wetlands bench was included in the reclamation. It actually does not <br />make sense to have a wetlands bench in the Golden Reservoir -due to the fact that water levels <br />in reservoirs are not constant, and the water is sometimes fed back into the waters of the state <br />for augmentation purposes. Also, the wetlands bench and corresponding slopes would subtract <br />valuable water storage space from the Golden Reservoir. <br />We will be happy to furnish the Division with an updated Exhibit F: Reclamation Plan Map. We <br />have not attached an updated map to this technical revision request in case there are certain <br />notes relating to the technical revision that the Division would like added to an updated map. <br />If you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 303-286-2247 or via email at <br />Imshults@Igeverist.com.
