Outfa11006 is a settling pond for surface runoff from the No. 1 West Mine. This outfall has <br />not discharged in the past 2 years. It is currently being regraded and moved, and is the subject <br />of a pending permit amendment. Outfa11006 will be relocated to 38° 54.00 north, 107° 38.23 <br />west. <br />Outfalls 002, 003, 004, 005, and 006 aze for the industrial wastewater treatment system. These <br />facilities are not operated by a Class D industrial wastewater treatment operator, as required by <br />Section 100.6.2 of the Water and Wastewater Facility Operators Certification Requirements <br />ReQUlation. The facilities are currently under the operational control of Don DeGraffenried. Mr. <br />DeGraffenried holds a current Class C domestic wastewater treatment operators license, #C-3071. <br />Mr. DeGraffenried's qualifications apply to the standazds of Section 100.5.2 of the Regulation. <br />Facility conditions are accurately reflected by the current permit, with the exception of Item 2 below. <br />During our inspection, the following items were noted and need to be brought to your attention: <br />1. The industrial wastewater treatment facilities aze not under the supervision of a properly certified <br />industrial wastewater operator. Mr. DeGraffenried's Class C domestic wastewater treatment <br />operator certification may be an acceptable substitute for this requirement. Bowie Resources will <br />be contacted on this issue by Betsy Beaver, the Division's liaison with the Plant Operator's <br />Boazd. <br />2. The domestic wastewater treatment plant associated with Outfa11001 has been removed. Bowie <br />Resources should request a permit amendment to acknowledge this change. <br />Please feel free to call me with any questions at (970) 248-7147. <br />Sincerely, <br />Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment <br />Water Qu 'ty Control Division <br />Mike Havens, P.E. <br />District Engineer <br />Enclosure: Industrial Wastewater Inspection Report <br />Cc: Ken Nordstrom, Delta County Sanitarian (w/out enclosure) <br />Dazcy O'Connor, U.S. EPA Region VIII (w/ enclosure) <br />Dan Mathews, Division of Minerals and Geology, Colorado Department of Natural <br />Resources, 101 South 3rd, Suite 301, Grand Junction CO 81501 (w/out enclosure) <br />Susan Nachtrieb, Permits Unit Manager, WQCD (w/ enclosure) <br />Betsy Beaver, Certified Operator Boazd Liaison, WQCD (w/out enclosure) <br />Leslie Simpson, Compliance Monitoring and Data Management Unit, WQCD (w/ <br />enclosure) <br />Tom Schaffer, P.E., Technical Services Unit West Slope Region Manager, WQCD, <br />(w/ enclosure) <br />C:\d\AAPROJ\DELTA\033685 Bowie Mine #1 IWW Inspection in Apri12002.doc <br />Apri123, 2002 Page 2 of 2 Mike Havens <br />
