PERMIT ISSUES
These items may assist the WQCD to provide clarification for an amendment to the current discharge
permit. During the inspection, we observed the following conditions that are not accurately
represented in your current discharge permit.
In a cover letter dated November 3, 2003, Savage and Savage (on behalf of Oakridge
Energy, Inc.) submitted to the WQCD-Denver-Permits Unit a Permit Amendment Request
for the Carbon Junction Mine. Please refer to this Submittal package for details.
COMMENTS
The 1993 Stormwater Management Plan needs to be up-dated to reflect current conditions
at the Carbon Junction Mine site, the current contact persons (both focal and elsewhere),
the current responsibilities of each person or organization, and a clear understanding of
who does what during a storm event.
Please up-date the existing 1993 Stormwater Management Plan to reflect current conditions
and responsibilities.
