CDPS EXCEEDANCE REPORT <br />Mine Site: COLOWYO MINE <br />Outfall No.: 004A <br />Sample Taken by: Env. En¢. - Tony Tennvson <br />Permit No.: CO-00045161 <br />Sample Date: 10/17/2006 <br />Laboratory Sample ID: 50610332-005 <br />Exceedences: Total Suspended Solids - 44 mH/L Report Prepared by: Kurds Blunt <br />Total Recoverable Iron - 4.10 me/L <br />Explanation: <br />Precipitation records indicate that was a rainfall event at Colowyo in the day prior and the day of <br />the October 17, 2006 sampling date. The sample was taken on October 17 and a rainfall event was <br />observed on this date. The storm patterns on the days prior to the October 17 sample suggest short <br />duration high intensity rainfall events (thunderstorms) caused multiple inflows into the pond from the <br />surrounding designed ditches. Discharge from the pond began as a result of the series of storms that <br />passed through the area during the day prior and the day of the October 17 sampling. Precipitation <br />was measured on the October 17, 2006, and sampling was performed at 14:21 PM on October 17, <br />2006, thus qualifying for consideration of the use of Alternative Effluent Criteria for this sample. <br />Identify Support Info: <br />Relevant laboratory data from Outfa11004A <br />Colowyo Mine -Ambient Air Network: 4'th Qtr. 2006 Precipitation & Temperature Data <br />Proposed Action: <br />Flocculation chemicals approved in the CDPS permit will be added to the pond waters in order to <br />reduce the TSS concentration of the waters that could potentially be discharged from the pond to <br />below the MCL of 35 mg/L in the future. Colowyo is also working with representatives from GE <br />Betz to identify flocculation chemicals and treatment options in order to prevent future TSS MCL <br />exceedences. <br />Stormwater avenues into the pond are being re-evaluated and will be modified as necessary to <br />minimize sedimentation caused by runoff originating from disturbed areas. <br />Sediment cle ut of this pond was compieted during November, 2006. <br />Name: <br />Date of Submittal: oZ <br />N.9CCC_HSEQ12t.U lL'QCD~11.!
