Box 1849 • Grand Junction, Colorado 81502 • 970/245 -9301 • FAX 970/243 -6703 <br />September 9, 2011 <br />Mr. Travis Marshall <br />Environmental Protection Specialist / <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety �/ <br />101 South 3 Street, Suite 301 <br />Grand Junction, Co. 81501 <br />Re: Gunnison River Gravel Pits, Permit No. M- 2009 -048 7_ <br />Dear Mr. Marshall, <br />We are requesting a Technical Amendment to the above permit regarding the substitute <br />water supply plan. <br />In order to satisfy the "walk- away" provision of the Substitute Water Supply Plan for Pit <br />No. 1 and 5 of the Gunnison River Gravel Pit prepared by Western Water and Land Inc., <br />Grand Junction Pipe is required to bond for the purchase of 218 acre feet of water. This <br />water would be used for replacement water to offset out -of- priority depletions caused by <br />the excavation filling under the "walk- away" scenario. See page 11 of the attached <br />Substitute Water Supply Plan. The current water rate to purchase water from the Blue <br />Mesa Reservoir is $ 84.38 per acre -foot. This would be an increase in the bond amount of <br />$ 18,394.84. <br />Please send us a letter to be submitted to the bonding company requesting this increase in <br />the bond amount. A copy of the Substitute Water Supply Plan approved by the Office of <br />the State Engineer is attached for your records. A check in the amount of $ 216.00 is <br />enclosed for the TR fee. <br />If you have any questions or you need any additional information, please contact me. <br />Singerely, <br />Grand Junction Concrete Pipe Company r r y <br />Ivan D.
