Waldron `' ''o': v..„uie~ais' & Ge0109Y Division of Minerals and Geology 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 Denver, CO 80203 RE: Somerset Mining Company Springs 1-6 April Monitoring Permit No. C-81-022 Dear Mr. Waldron: After a week of good weather during the first week of April, an attempt was made to monitor Springs 1-6 on April 7, 1995. Snow was encountered at approximately the 7,000-foot elevation along the Coal Gulch Trail. At approximately the 8,000-foot elevation, before the turnoff to Spring 1, the depth of snow made the trail impassable for the all-terrain vehicle. Springs 1-6 were not monitored on April 7. Since that time there have been two storms that brought additional snow and rain to the mine area. The first storm was on April 9, and the second storm was on April 17. This morning there was snow on the ground at approximately the 6,000-foot elevation. Muddy conditions made foot travel to the Hubbard Creek area for the weekly monitoring of Hubbard Creek Pond difficult today. The planned attempt to monitor Springs 1-6 this third week of April has been cancelled by the weather. The next scheduled attempt to monitor Springs 1-6 will not be until the first week of May. Therefore, Springs 1-6 will not be monitored during April. This letter is to serve notification to the Division if the April monitoring is missed and explain the conditions which caused the lack of monitoring, in accordance with p 2.05-47ii of the permit document and Minor Revision No. 24. Please call if there are any questions. Sincere , ~~~~ Thomas C. Anderson, P.E. Environmental Coordinator cc: J.E. Stover C O M P A N Y P.O.
