Therefore, outfall 008 is <br />in compliance with the acute WET portion of its Colorado State Industrial General Minimal <br />Discharge Permit for the second quarter of 2006. <br />• DATE OF REPORT <br />June 21, 2006 <br />Report prepared by: Tony Stoyko <br />/~c (~' 6 a2/ . 0 6 <br />Bio o itorin Supervisor Date <br />4 <br />F 526 <br />
