CO 80346-1530 <br />RE: Submittal of Additional Information for Fourth Quarter 2000 Report <br />Dear Ms. Lenkey: <br />RECEIVED <br />MAR 0 3 2001 <br />Division of Minerals 8 Geolon~~ <br />As per our telephone conversation, Picketwire Processing would like to submit the following <br />information that you requested to supplement data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report <br />for point 007A at the New Elk Mine (Permit 000000906) for the fourth quarter of 2000. <br />A revised Discharge Monitoring Report for point 007A is attached which includes results from <br />sampling of iron and total suspended solids, revised tlow calculation, and revised sampling <br />frequency. Since the discharge was a result of a storm of less than a 10-year, 24-hour event, a waver <br />of the iron and total suspended solids limitation is requested. A precipitation event of I.1 inches <br />on October 16 was recorded at the New Elk Mine rain gauge which caused the discharge. Prior to <br />this event, the pond water level was well below the discharge point. Discharge occurred over a three <br />to four day period while the pond dewatered to a point below the weep holes. <br />Should you have questions or need additional information concerning this situation, please do not <br />hesitate to let me know by calling 303-850-0930. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />Jerry H.
