During the 2"d quarter <br />the Sanbom Creek mine underwent dismantling, removal and relocation of mining equipment to <br />the Elk Creek mine and prepazation for closure and abandonment. Discharge point 011 was <br />discharging and sampled on 4/21/03 and 4/29/03. The quarterly WET sample was scheduled to be <br />obtained during May. On or about May 21, 2003 the underground pumps and pipeline associated <br />with Discharge point 011 were dismantled and brought to the surface. Effectively, Discharge <br />point 011 became terminated as of May 21, 2003. For [his reason, we were unable to obtain the <br />quarterly WET sample. <br />There were no other issues or exceedances noted during the 2nd quarter of 2003. <br />Finally, OMLLC previously filed an application on May 16, 2001 for renewal of the CDPS permit. Since <br />the permit renewal application currently remains under review, during 2002 we requested and subsequently <br />received a supply of additional DMR forms. With the submittal of this 2"d quarter DMR the Division <br />should be aware that our present supply of DMR forms is now exhausted. Please provide us with <br />additional DMR forms. <br />If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at (970) 929-SS06. <br />Sincerely, <br />~mes A.
