According to Twentymile, the historic surface <br />mining operation at the site may have had some type of shop or storage area near where the current coal <br />stockpile is located. At the time of the inspection, they had not been able to identify the source of the Acetone <br />seeping to the surface and they have hired a Hazardous Materials contractor/consultant to assist them with the <br />identification of the source of the seep and its subsequent cleanup. Based on my observations during the <br />inspection, it appear that Twentymile is collecting the seeping material at the base of a berm and pumping the <br />material into storage containers and shipping it to the Milner Landfill. The seep is about 700 feet from Foidel <br />Creek and my supervisor requested that I inform CPW of the seep. Twentymile appears to be addressing the <br />seep in accordance with our rules. A copy of my inspection report is attached. Please see the "Other" section <br />of the report for details. Please feel free to contact me with questions. <br />Thank you, <br />Jared Ebert <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />COLORADO <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />P 303.866.3567 ext. 8120 1 F 303.832.8106 1 <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 <br />jared.ebert@state.co.us I mining. state. co. us <br />INSP-REPORTC_C1982056_JLE_02162016073424.pdf <br />677K <br />https://m ail.google.com/mai I/u/0/?ui=2&i k=e29l29fcb5&view=pt&search=i nbox&th=152ead48dc4c4ead&si m l=152ead48dc4c4ead 1/1 <br />
