After review of this information it is our recommendation that the liner be constructed as proposed. A qualified geotechnical consultant should be retained for full time quality control inspection during the construction of this facility. Prior to the initial receipt of wastes at this facility, the site must be inspected by a representative of either the Colorado Department of Health, or the Weld County Health Department, to ensure that it has been constructed in accordance with the approved reports.

A preliminary - soil and foundation investigation was conducted for the subject project in April 1982 reported under our Job No. 23,935. The laboratory samples consisted of on-site silty to clayey sand and various percentages of Wyo-Ben bentonite. Two different types of commercially produced bentonite were used. One consisted of -200 mesh material known canmercially as Envirogel -200. The other product consisted of coarser bentonite materal with 100% passing the 10 mesh and a minimum of 20% passing the 200 mesh and known as Envirogel -10. Results of the laboratory investigations are shown on Figs. 1 and 2 and summarized on Table I. In general, it appears the finer the material grind the better the seal characteristic. The tests were run using distilled water and pond water obtained fran existing evaporation ponds. The pond water appears to slightly increase the permeability of the bentonite-soil mixture. Based on the laboratory test results, a minimum application rate of 5% of Envirogel -200 material or 10% of Envirogel -10 material is required to obtain a mixed membrane liner with a coefficient of permeability of 1 x 10-7 cm/sec. The bentonite should be resistant to deterioration by dissolved salt contents and the application procedure and construction requirements should be in accordance with the suppliers reccmnendations. OFFICES: CASPER • COLORADO SPRINGS • GLENWOOD SPRINGS • SALT LAKE CITY Mr. Mike Cervi October 25, 1982 . Paget I I Based on the proposed construction method and results of laboratory tests, we recammenxi a minimum 6 inch thick liner. -This recommendation would require a minimum application rate of approximately 3 lbs/ft2 of Envirogel -200 or 6 lbs/ft2 of Envirogel -10 material. Prior to placing the bentonite material, the area should be cleaned by removing all roots and debris and shaped to the desired contours. The soils then should be thoroughly tilled to the depth of the proposed liner. Water should then be applied to the soil to obtain optimum moisture content before spreading the bentonite. 1b insure complete coverage, two coats should be applied across the area to be treated. The applications should be applied cross- -directional to one another. After the area has been completely covered, the bentonite should be thoroughly rototilled into the soil to form a homogeneous soil-bentonite mixture. The soil-bentonite mixture should be compacted at optimum moisture to at least 95% of the standard Proctor density. The mixing and compaction procedures should be observed by a registered professional engineer. Following the compaction of the liner, we recommend a minimum 6 inch compacted soil layer to cover the liner to help protect against degradation.

It was my understanding from said hearing that plans would have to be submitted by the applicant for the approval of the Commission to satisfy the requirements of s-aid hearing , including but not limited to the liner which would meet the requirement of zero percolation or drainage from the pit in the aquifer. I was alcn advised by the Commission and the applicant , Mr. Cervi , that the old site had been shut down and was not being used nor was the same to be used until the new site had been considered in the manner as required and approved by the Commissioners . The District has been advised, however, that the old site is still being used, and that the use of said site is in violation of the Commission 's orders and the applicant ' s agreement. On behalf of the District , = am, therefore, requesting that you take appropriate steps and means to cause the use of the old (s �\'.` " Imo- l 4 /F z Pte-yfia.:.7` a �� n t z Page 2 August 9 , 1982 site to cease and desist.
