'BRAG <br />Twentymile Coal Company <br />29515 Routt County Road # 27 <br />Oak Creek, Colorado 80467 <br />(970)879-3800 <br />February 18, 2004 <br />Ms. Carla Lenkey <br />Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment <br />Water Quality Control Division -Permits and Enforcement <br />4300 Cherry Creek Drive South <br />Denver, CO 80222-1530 <br />Phone: (303)692-36b3 <br />RE: PERMIT CO-0027154; JANUARY 2004 DMR SUBMITTAL <br />Dear Ms. Lenkey: <br />RECEIVED <br />FEB ~ 0 20Q4 <br />ONision of Minerals & Geology <br />Please find enclosed the above referenced discharge monitoring reports for the period January 1, 2004 through <br />January 31, 2004. During this period Outfalls 6 (Outfall 003A), and E (Outfall 006A), discharged to Foidel Creek. <br />Outfall 006A flowed each week of the period. Outfall 003A exhibited trace flow only during the second week of the <br />period, allowing only one sample set to be collected and analyzed. No permit excursions were noted for OO6A, <br />however one exceedance was noted for 003A for total suspended solids {TSS). The elevated TSS value was <br />most likely from incidental sediment agitation resulting from the removal of snow and ice around the flume area. It <br />is TCC's opinion that the limited flow from 003A did not constitute a significant environmental impact to Foidel <br />Creek. Since 003A only flowed the one week, TCC could not conduct additional analysis to check this anomaly. <br />To date, the site has not flowed since the second week of January. <br />Oudalls 002A, OOaA, 005A, 007A/007W, and 008A did not discharge; and therefore had no chemical tests during June. Outfall <br />020A/020W has not yet been constructed, therefore sampling of this site has not occurred. Note that ponds A (Outfall <br />001A/001W), and H (Outfall 009A) have been deactivated following bond release, and have been removed from the newly <br />amended permit, effective January 1, 2003. In order to reduce the amount of paper work, the following certification will be <br />substituted for the actual DMR forms to cover the outfalls, which did not discharge. <br />CERTIFICATION <br />1 certify under penalty of law that !have personally examined and am familiar with the information submitted herein; and <br />based on my inquiry of those individuals responsible for obtaining the information, I believe the submitted information is <br />true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant penalties for submitting false information, including the <br />possibility of fine and imprisonment. See 18 U.S.C. § 1007 and 33 U.S.C. § 1319.
