Therefore, outfall 008 is in compliance <br />with the acute WET portion of its Colorado State Industrial General Minimal Discharge Permit for <br />the fourth quarter of 2006. <br />• DATE OF REPORT <br />January 18, 2006 <br />Report prepared and r view by: Tony Stoyko <br />~.._~ . %, /~. 4.6 <br />Biomoi ' o ing Std ervisor Date <br />F 626 <br />
