Box 773749 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />Deaz Ms. Fox, <br />Enclosed aze copies of the water quality analyses for samples collected last August from the Tellier <br />and Anderson residence wells, and last May from the monitoring well near the Tellier Pit. I have <br />compazed the analyses with national drinking water standazds is Table 1 through Table 3 (see <br />attachments). All of the tested parameters met drinking water standazds and were significantly <br />below levels that are considered to present human health risks. <br />Table 4 in the enclosed attachments is a summary of the Tellier Pit sand and gravel mining activities <br />with their associated potential pollutants, potential impact on surface and ground water, and analytes <br />that should be tested to identify the pollutants. Based on the activity at the Tellier Pit, Connell <br />Resources recommends that our annual ground water testing be limited to pH, Total Dissolved <br />Solids (TDS), Oil and Grease, Extractable Total Hydrocazbons, and BTEX (benzene, toluene, <br />ethylbenzene, and xylenes). The EPA recommends that ground water drinking supply wells should <br />be annually tested for coliform bacteria and nitrates. These potential pollutants aze most likely <br />related to septic systems and fertilizers. Although Connell Resources activities at the Tellier Pit will <br />not contribute coliform bacteria or nitrates to the ground water system, we will conduct these tests <br />as a gesture of goodwill. <br />If there aze any questions or additional information needed please contact Tony or myself at 870- <br />0200. <br />Sinc~erely~, <br />i %~oz <br />Arthur vl.
