(CT&E) conducted a two species acute bioassay on <br />the West Fork of Sylvester Gulch effluent dischazge. This discharge has been designated as <br />outfall 017. The purpose of this bioassay was to determine if the facility complies with the WET <br />portion of the Colorado State Permit System Authorization to Discharge. The test organisms <br />utilized were the fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) and the daphnid (Daphnia magna). <br />Test results indicate that the effluent was not acutely toxic to either species. Therefore, <br />Mountain Coal Company outfall 017 effluent is in compliance with the acute WET portion of its <br />Colorado State Dischazge Permit for the second quarter of 2002. <br />1 <br />
