PUBLlC NOTICE COMMENTS <br />The permit[ee did not submit comments. Joe Dudash, Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology specialist assigned to <br />this facility provided verbal commen[s. He indicated that the portion of Deer Trail Ditclr into wi:ich discharge from <br />Pond C would flow runs into Fire Mountain Canal within a short distance. The outfall from Pond C is outfal[ 002 and <br />may contain mine drainage. The knowledge that this diversion occurs would not nffect the speciftcations in the pennit <br />and this rationale of the receiving water, since these specifications indicate [!te immediate water Into which the discharge <br />goes. Also, the issue of effluent from this facility going into Fire Mountain Canal, a privately owned canal, is a rrratter <br />between owners of the Deer Trail Ditch and those ojFire Mountain Canal since the Deer Trail Ditclr has control over <br />the water prior to its entering Fire Mountain Canal. The primary relevance of this fact to this permit is the point that <br />effluent would Jlow within a second private waterway prior to entering state waters, tl:e North Fork of the Gunnison <br />River. I1:e point of confluence between Fire Mountain Canal and the North Fork of tl:e Gunnison River is much farther <br />away than the point of confluence between Deer Trail Ditch and the river. Tltis would decrease the potential for any <br />irrrpact on tl:e river from this discharge. <br />Jon C. Kubic <br />December 22, 1998 <br />
