This drawing should be <br />stamped by a Professional Engineer. Furthermore, please provide a discussion regarding the <br />operation of this pond and how the new outlet works will not hinder this operation. This <br />discussion could be provided in the cover letter to your adequacy response or in the PAP itself. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me at extension 8113 or rob.zuber @state.co.us. <br />Sincerely, <br />gv-,7� z/, <br />Robert D.
