Box 459 <br />Florence, CO 81226 <br /> <br />Re: Southfield Mine (Permit No. C-1981-014) <br /> Bond Release Application No. 3 (SL-3) Outstanding Issues <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Weaver: <br /> <br />The Division has identified the following issues that need to be addressed before we can approve SL-03. <br /> <br />1. EFCI needs to remove the pipe that is sticking out of the ground near the south end of the facilities <br />area (discussed in an e-mail from Dr. Corley, January 23, 2016). EFCI also needs to confirm that this <br />pipe is not a conduit to mine workings; this can be done with an inspection by EFCI and letter report <br />written to the Division. <br />2. The culvert that acts as an inlet to Pond 5 and has holes in the metal at the upstream end needs to be <br />patched to prevent further deterioration and undercutting/erosion. <br />3. A maintenance agreement must be obtained from the Vento Group stating that they will resume <br />maintenance responsibility for Pond 4 after it is Phase III released (see Rule 3.03.1(3)(c)). <br /> <br />If you have questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Robert D. Zuber, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist II <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br /> <br />John W.
