Box 535 <br />Somerset, CO 81434 <br />RE: Terror Creek Loadout, C-1983-059 <br />2nd Quarter 2017 Pond Inspection Report Review <br />Dear Mr. Smith, <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (the Division) received the 2nd <br />Quarter 2017 Pond Inspection Report on July 13, 2017. The Division has completed its <br />review and found the report to be in compliance with the following Rules: <br />4.05.9(17) - All Impoundments are inspected quarterly, by a qualified person designated by the <br />operator, for the appearance of structural weakness and other hazardous conditions. The reports <br />are retained at the Elk Creek Mine Office, and copies of the reports are submitted to the Division <br />on a quarterly basis. <br />The inspections of the ponds were conducted by Oxbow Mining, LLC (OML) on June 28, 2017. <br />The report indicates that both the P-1 Pond and the Dugout Pond were dry. There were no issues <br />noted. The field inspections by the Division reflect the information in the report by OML. <br />This concludes the Division's review of the 2nd Quarter 2017 Pond Inspection Report. If you <br />have any questions, feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Clayton Wein <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />clayton.wein@state.co.us <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
