'~- <br />Colorado Depazttnent of Public Health & Safety November 26, 2001 <br />Paee 2 <br />Pond 12, which has not been in use since the mine closed in December 1999, failed due to cracks <br />fotming in the bottom. Powderhom notifted Dan Mathews, Division of Minerals & Geology, <br />on Monday, November 19, and met with him at the site at 1:30 p.m at which time the discharge <br />had ceased. On November 20, as a remedial measure to prevent any precipitation from entering <br />the cracks, Powderhom had the pond bottom in the vicinity of the cracks excavated and the <br />cracks filled. It is not anticipated that Pond 12 will be used for future purposes, therefore no <br />futuue dischazges aze anticipated. However, Powderhom Coal, along with DMG, is in the process <br />implementing a plan to ensure the proper fitnctioning or reclamation of this pond. This will be <br />completed by December 20, 2001. <br />If you have any questions regazding these events, please call me at (970) 241-8118. <br />Sincerely, <br />onya and <br />Owner s Representative <br />cc: Dan Mathews <br />Division of Mineral & Geology <br />Z.. <br />
