Dear Mr. Keffelew: On November 7, 1994, while accompanying you on an inspection of the diversion structures under construction for the Cresson Project, we encountered a roadway constructed with gravel material that we determined today had been excavated from Pad M2. The Cripple Creek & Victor Gold Mining Company ("CC&V") has directed all who may be involved that Pad rN2 material must remain on the pad area at this stage of construction. Upon confirmation that the material originated from Pad 1i2, CC&V directed that a stockpile of the material be returned to Pad y/2. As I requested this afternoon while explaining the source to you, in view of our submission some months ago of meteoric water mobility rinse data for pads including this one and the extremely low concentrations measured for any potential contaminants, and in view of the recent request to you (our letter of November 1, 1994), sent also by you to the Water Quality Control Division, to allow use of this material by the City of Victor (who have specifically requested use of this particular material), I would ask that we await the recommendations of the Water Quality Control Division prior to removing, mixing, or otherwise treating this material. In view of the fact that the permit approves the removal of any excess Pad !t2 material, and possibly Pad N1 material, to the Arequa Gulch Overburden Storage Area, it would be consistent and prudent to facilitate use of these materials wherever reasonable to, in turn, limit mining disturbances elsewhere.
