r • (Page 2) <br />MINE ID / OR PROSPECTING ID ~ K-77-193 <br />INSPECTION DATE 11/9/95 INSPECTOR'S 7.NITIALS TAS, JCS <br />OBSERVATIONS <br />1. A site inspection was made to provide an overview of the entire quarr7~ operation and to <br />observe the operator's progress in implementing the plan for management of stormwater runoff <br />and duet control at the quarry. Me. Millie Turner of the Air Quality Control Division was <br />also there, unannounced, to inspect the operator's duet control system. <br />2. Dust control, according to He. Turner, at the time of inspection was excellent. There <br />was very Little, if any, fugitive dust being produced at the crusher facil:_ty, highwall, and <br />muck pile areas in the presence of very strong easterly winds. The haul road was well <br />watered and the spray system was working well at the crusher plant. Mr. E(ellman was in the <br />process of installing a sprinkler system at the muck pile/highwall interface. Mr. Hellman <br />reported that the daily water usage for duet control estimated 50,000-60,OOD gallons per day. <br />Water for dust control is being purchased from the City of Canon City Water Treatment Plant. <br />A suggestion was given to Mr. Hellman to collect as much spring snowmelt runoff as possible, <br />let the sediment settle, then transfer the clear water to a large storage tank to supply <br />water for duet control. This may help to reduce future expenditures of treated water from <br />the City of Canon City. <br />3. Mr. Hellman has installed a small temporary collection ditch along portions of the haul <br />road to direct future runoff into the excavated upper and lower collection ponds. The middle <br />pond has not yet been excavated. Because there are several S curves i.n the haul road, <br />stormwater runoff ie expected to flow across the road in several location:i in order to pass <br />from one pond to another. This subject was discussed and a suggestion was made to install <br />a culvert or series of culverts to improve the future management of stormwater. Also, <br />permitting requirements for stormwater and process water was also discussed. A suggestion <br />was made to manage stormwater separately from process water and retain pro<:ese water on-site <br />in the upper collection pond rather than discharge off-site. Otherwise, the operator will <br />be subject to effluent limitations via a WQCD process water permit fox sand and gravel <br />operators. <br />4. Mr. Hellman pointed out the proposed location for the relocation of tk:e haul road. The <br />operator is in the process of securing the necessary approvals from the City of Canon City <br />to implement this change. <br />5. Mr. Hellman was informed that the formal public hearing scheduled for consideration of <br />the amendment application before the Colorado Mine Land Reclamation Diviai~~n will be held or <br />thuraday, November 16, 1995. Mr. Hellman and colleagues should be present. at 1313 Sherman, <br />Rm 318 no later than 9:30 A.M. <br />I & E Contact Address <br />cc: Jim Stevens, JMG <br />^ CE <br />NAME Mr. Don Hellman <br />OPERATOR Te zak Heavv Eouipment Co., Inc. <br />STREET 904 Hwy 115 <br />CITY/STATE/ZIP Penrose, CO 81240 <br /> <br /> <br />cc: Ken Klco Sarah Plocher-Johnson <br />Azurite, Inc.
