Sorenson <br />-~ <br />HOM S AKE> <br />MINING COMPANY/ <br />• <br />~~CCIV~~ <br />lULC6199 <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources Mined Land <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division Reclamation Di~~ision <br />1313 Sherman Street, Rm. 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Reference: Minerals Program Inspection Report for "Bulldog Mine" June 8, 1992 <br />Dear Mr. Sorenson: <br />We are in receipt of the subject inspection report. On the last page of that report one item was <br />noted as a "problem." We wish to provide the following information in response to that item. This <br />letter is to be considered as the requisite "corrective" action that the report indicates should be <br />achieved by August 7, 1992. <br />The "problem" listed has to do with the water-quality information for the area downgradient of the <br />Lower Tailings facility, whether it is currently on file with the MLRD. For information purposes, <br />we are enclosing a spreadsheet that contains all of the chemical and physical data that were <br />required to be collected over the period of the NPDES permit condition. <br />We need to clarify that the permit condition requiring ground-water quality monitoring <br />downgradient of the Lower Tailing Impoundment was a condition of the NPDES (Department of <br />Health) permit. All reporting was to the Water Quality Control Division. It was no to our <br />knowledge, a condition of the MLRD/MLRB reclamation permit. The requirement was removed <br />from the NPDES permit when that permit was renewed a few years ago. The WQCD agreed that <br />there were no longer any impacts that were attributable to the tailings impoundment in its current <br />state. The collection and reporting was terminated when the permit condition was removed. <br />I hope that the Division agrees that the monitoring was properly completed based on the data that <br />have been generated. <br />Should any giyestions arise, please call me as soon as possible. <br />Si <br />n E.
