Seneca Mine, oe. 3 <br />We reviewed applicable permit and environmental monitoring records at the mine office. The <br />review included: 1999 Annual hydrology report which indicates there were no NPDES permit <br />effluent limitation exceedences at any of the designated point source outfall locations for 1999, <br />NPDES / DMR's are current through the first 2 quarters of 2000, quarterly sediment pond <br />inspection reports are current through the first two quarters of 2000, the DMG permit expires <br />February, 2000, and the mid-term permit review was completed and sent to SCC on December 6, <br />1999, surface and ground water monitoring is current through the second quarter of 2000,and <br />finally, fill stability inspections are current, and Mr. Boulay will research how SCC may <br />discontinue these certifications as the fills, Joe Lake and Auger area E highwall area, have been <br />completely reclaimed and probably do not warrant quarterly or annual RPE certification. These <br />areas will continue to be inspected by DMG on a routine basis. This concluded the inspection. <br />No off site impacts were identified during the inspection, and SCC personnel should be <br />commended on both their contemporaneous reclamation efforts on the Wadge and Wolf Creek <br />Pit areas the last two years, and SCC's continuing efforts at diverse vegetation and shrub <br />establishment, wildlife habitat enhancements, and surface water runoff control and stability. <br />pleils~ address any questions concerning this report to Henry Austin at haustin _,osmre.eov or <br />(303) 844-1400 X1466. <br />
