Pond B dischazge flow paths aze perpendiculaz to the length of the Deer Trail Ditch. According to Fire Mountain and Bowie Resources personnel, a dischazge from the Pond B primary discharge tube went through a hole in the side of the Deer Trail Ditch and into the Fire Mountain Canal. Fire Mountain Canal personnel saw the pond dischazge water flowing down the Fire Mountain Canal arid requested Bowie Resources personnei to repair the hole in the Deer Trail Ditch. That repair work was, then, done. In this azea of the Deer Trail Ditch, the vegetation was also thick with weeds and small trees. The inspection finished at the westernmost end of the Deer Trail Ditch. There was no water in the Deer Trail Ditch at this location. The water that would flow to the west end of the Deer Trail Ditch passes through an 18 inch diameter culvert over the Fire Mountain Canal. The water then flows in a ditch on the west side of the Tenor Creek Loadout, under the railroad tracks, and into a field. At the closeout to this field inspection, the DMG requested that representatives of the Fire Mountain Canal submit a letter that details exactly what issues that organization has with the Bowie No. 2 Mine and the Fire Mountain Canal and what solutions they believe are needed. The Fire Mountain Canal representatives agreed to write this letter. This letter will be sent to Bob Major, who said that he will write his own letter to the DMG regazding the concerns of the USBR. Either the information contained in the Fire Mountain Canal letter will be incorporated into the letter from the USBR to the DMG or it will be included as an attachment to the USBR letter to the DMG. c: /word/bowie2 /insp 1004 4
