Mr. Routten agreed with our remediation plan <br />to treat the influent water with flocculent and ttrerby increase retention lime in both refuse ponds. Both ponds did uol <br />appear to settle the colloidal solids rapidly evoagh. ENACT 7883 (Alun3inum Chloride) floccvlevt was added to the <br />influent al both ponds and 2 small sediment catch basins were conslmcted at the influent entrance on both the east and <br />west side of Refuse Povd 2/3. <br />At approximately 10:30 am ,later in the rooming of March 2, Mr. Chervick received a call from Mr. Jim <br />Chubtillo ,Water Quality Control Division inspector. Mr. Chervick informed him of the situation and that all <br />reroedia[ion efforts were being coordinated with the Division of Minerals and Geology. Mr. Chubrillo staled that he was <br />satisfied with the plan and Wat Mr. Chervick should send h® and Ms. Kalemen a letter explaining the violation and <br />treatment plan that the Deserado Mine followed.
