(Page 3) NINE ID f OR PROSPECTING ID ~ H-83-084 INSPECTION DATE 9-28-95 INSPECTOR'S INITIALS GSC approved, design parameters and construction specifications for the structure and a demonstration of stability both from a flood containment and a elope stability standpoint. The design specifications must be approved by the Division before any further activity to increase the size of the dam ie resumed. PB-2: The approved mining plan allows a maximum disturbance of 23 acres for the settling ponds, roads, processing structures, and storage, working and parking areas. Because the pit and settling pond have been enlarged, the operator will need to submit a map showing all current disturbance and include a calculation of the total disturbance and a revised reclamation cost estimate. PB-3: Refuse consisting of scrap iron and used equipment was observed in the equipment and machinery storage areas. This needs to be disposed of pursuant to Rule 3.1.5(5). Waste oil stained soil was observed on the ground in the equipment storage areas. This contaminated soil needs to be removed and properly disposed and a copy of the bill of lading or landfill receipt provided the Division. Several fuel storage tanks were also observed in this area with no spill containment berms. All fuel tanks on site must have appropriate spill containment structures. PB-4: A diesel generator, 55 gallon fuel tank, and pump are located adjacent to the Middle Fork of the South Platte River. There is no spill containment structure for the fuel tank and the ground along the bank of the Hiddle Fork has been stained from fuel spillage (see PB- 4). The contaminated soil will need to be removed and properly disposed and the fuel tank must be placed in a spill containment structure in order to minimize disturbances to the quality of surface and ground water. Verification moat be submitted to the Division in the form of photographic evidence and a copy of the bill of lading or receipt for the contaminated Boil from an approved landfill. The Division suggests that the fuel tank and generator be moved further back from the river to help minimize the likelihood of a fuel release into the Middle Fork. The citizen complaint mentioned noise ae a problem, however, the operator was informed that the Division has no jurisdiction over such matters. The operator is encouraged to contact the complainant and attempt to resolve the issue if possible. PB-5: In 1987, the U.S. congress amended the Clean Water Act to expressly include storm water discharges from industrial sites ae requiring Clean Water Act controls. In 1990, EPA issued regulations that require specific industrial act iv itiee to obtain permits in order to discharge storm water from their facilities. Active and inactive mining operations where storm water comes into contact with overburden, raw material, intermediate products, byproducts, finished products or waste products located at the mining site are specifically included. The deadline to apply for a storm water permit was October 1, 1992. If a storm water permit for this mine has not yet been obtained, the operator moat make application for such a permit ae soon as possible. If any storm water control structures are required to be constructed at the mine as a result of the storm water permitting process, a revision must then be submitted to this Division to include the operational and reclamation aspects of such structures in the Reclamation Permit.
