Long <br /> <br />Water Quality Control Division Division Director <br />Colorado Department of Health <br />WQCD - PEB2 <br />4300 Cherry Creek Drive South <br />Denver, CO 80222-1530 <br />Re: Release of NPDES 002A <br />Coal Ridge Mine (C-84-065) <br />Dear Mr. Cribbs: <br />As per our phone conversation today I am writing this letter to <br />assist you in releasing of NPDES 002A from the Coal Ridge No.l Mine <br />located in New Castle, Colorado. As we discussed, the discharge <br />point is.in actuality, a dozer basin in the middle of Vulcan Ditch, <br />an irrigation channel and as such has no mine-related activity. <br />The discharge point was originally drawn up in the mine operations <br />plan but has since been dropped from this consideration. The <br />Vulcan Ditch receives its water from a tributary north of the <br />Colorado River which is then pumped under the river to the mine <br />site for irrigation on the south side of the Colorado river and its <br />adjacent terraces. <br />Since the mine is not active nor has been in the past, the NPDES <br />point 002A is non-relevant to further monitoring. It was suggested <br />by our Division to discontinue this site from further inspection <br />criteria and Mr. Peter Matthies has obliged us to do just that. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ..
