Shelton Director November 9, 1981 Mr. Scott Patten Flatiron Companies P. O. Box 229 Boulder, Colorado 80306 Dear Scott: This Letter will serve to summarize the items we discussed with yourself and Walt Ayers in our November 3, 1981 meeting. Rich Domingue was introduced as one of the future MLR inspectors of the Bourg Strip mine. MLR inspections will continue on a monthly basis with myself inspecting on odd months (November, January, Pfarch, etc.) and Rich Domingue inspecting on even months (December, February, April, etc.). I will retain primary responsibility for agency contact and coordination, and permit review. The status of the review of the Bourg permanent program permit submission was discussed. Bourg has submitted some of the information requested in the P1LR preliminary adequacy review. The remainder of the material requested in the P.A.R. will be submitted to the Division on or before the end of November. As this material is received, the Division will he gin drafting findings, and the technical analysis of the submitted information. In the technical analysis phase, the Division anticipates working closely with Flatiron to resolve as many issues as possible. The Division anticipates that the permitting process should be in the final negotiation phase in late December, 1981 and January, 1982. Several concerns relating to potential or actual on-the-ground compliance at the mine site were discussed. Flatiron clarified the situation relative to preparations for construction of the permanent East Dump. The Division is still requiring a certified Colorado professional engineer to supervise the construction as outlined in pages 8R (A) and 8R(B) of the approved interim permit. The sediment control system and facilities at the mine site have caused concern over the last year. Flatiron stated that the system, as proposed in the permanent program application, is the system that they wish to be instituted at this time. The Division is reviewing the system currently, with the direction of working with Flatiron to bring the entire system into compliance as soon as possible.
