Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division has reviewed Trapper Mining Inc.'s First Quarter 2005 Sediment Pond Inspection reports. <br />TMI's first quarter 2005 sediment pond reports were received by the Division on April 4, 2005. Timely <br />submittal of these reports is in compliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). Sediment pond inspections were <br />conducted by TMI or their representative on January 5, January 6, and March 29, 2005. <br />Most ponds were either dry or snow or ice covered during the first quarter inspection. Four ponds were <br />reported dischazging at the NPDES point time they were inspected. These ponds include No Name No. <br />5, Johnson l OR, East Middle Flume No. 1, and Industrial Waste Pond No. 1. The sediment marker was <br />installed in the West Horse No. 1 pond during first quarter 2005. Dissolved oxygen data was collected <br />for the ponds during the January 2005 inspections. Sediment markers for Middle Pyeatt No. 2 and No. 3 <br />will need to be checked once ice has melted off the ponds. No other maintenance items were noted in <br />the reports. No significant problems with the ponds were reported for first quarter 2005. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet inns <br />Enviro enta ction Specialist <br />C:/jhb/C81010/Sediment Pond Inspection/2005/151 q 2005.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
