I would <br />like to invite you to visit the site and inspect the p~~nds upon <br />completion after October 15. <br />The following is in answer to your four questions: <br />1. We feel the addition of the settling ponds will remain within <br />our one acre permitted area. However, we will completely <br />re-survey the area upon completion to make sure we are correct in <br />that statement. If not, we will immediately file for +sn amend- <br />ment to our existing permit. <br />2. we feel our current $2,500.00 bond will allow for reclamation <br />of these ponds. However, the State Health Department and EPA <br />water quality standards, particularly in regards to water <br />quality maintenance throughout perpetuity, may prevent us from <br />ever eliminating the settling ponds. Perhaps we should discuss <br />the requirements under their laws in more detail in refs=_rence to <br />your point. <br />3. Unwashed sand was acquired to place under the pond liner. I <br />purchased four truckloads of sand from Flatirons Sand and Gravel <br />through Keeter Trucking Company of Boulder. A very small <br />quantity of topsoil will be taken from the pond excavation and <br />that will be used along with rock and surface gravels for dike <br />construction. I am planning to haul topsoil to the site to place <br />on the dikes which will be seeded and planted as pant of the <br />completion of this project. <br />~~ L <br />Mailing Address: Post Office Box 653-C arib ou•Nederla nd, Colorado 80466-0663 <br />Phone: O11ic e-Boulder 303-443-1502 Mine 303-258-3806 Fax # 303-443-6 E04 <br />
