<br />fiathleen fialamen <br />Aquatic Impairment Study <br />February 1, 1995 <br />monthly for total suspended solids, total iron, and settleable <br />solids; and quarterly for total dissolved solids. None of these <br />outfalls has every recorded a discharge. <br />One outfall in particular, the Hubbard Creek sedimentation pond, <br />Outfall 007, is difficult to access. The pond is at the end of a <br />county road that is infrequently maintained and subject to <br />rockfalls and landslides. Access during the winter months is <br />hazardous and considered unsafe for vehicle travel by Somerset <br />Mining Company employees. Weekly- monitoring of this outfall <br />during winter months often requires two-hours foot travel to <br />reach the site and return. <br />Since the sedimentation ponds have not discharged, Somerset <br />"lining Company requests a change in the monitoring frequency to <br />quarterly for all parameters for Outfalls 007, 009, 010, 012, attd <br />Ci13. If quarterly monitoring frequent}- cannot be ranted, then <br />Somerset Paining Compan}• requests a change to monthly for all <br />parameters. <br />If you have further questions or comments, feel free to contact <br />Thomas C. Anderson, Environmental Coordinator, Somerset Mining <br />Company at (303) 929-5122. <br />Sincerely, //'' ll <br />~~Q.~~ F.G ~... l~l~.lCwti <br />Walter L..
