Bruce Addington <br />Lorencito Coal Company, LLC <br />December 4, 2001 <br />Page 2 <br />after the efTective date of the permit. The plan shall include information and procedures for the prevention <br />and containment of spills of materials used, processed or stored at the site, which if spilled would have a <br />reasonable probability of having a visible or otherwise detrimental impact on state waters. If the plan has <br />been submitted, please provide the date it was submitted, and any updates that may have occurred. <br />Noted Items: <br />4. The legal and facility contacts listed on the discharge permit are no longer current. To amend the permit to <br />reflect the new legal and facility contacts, mailing addresses, and telephone ntunbers, the Division must be <br />contacted, in writing, of the change. <br />5. Due to the construction activities, there is severe soil erosion potential unless prevention practices are utilized. <br />During the inspection, practices such as silt fences and hay bales were not observed in the areas disturbed by <br />the construction acti~nties. The erosion prevention techniques from [he Stormwater Management Plan <br />contained in the your Stormwater Dischazge Permit CDPS No. COR-040202) must be implemented to <br />minimize the potential for soil erosion to impact state waters. <br />6. It appeared that water from nearby coal degasification wells was being used for dust suppression on the roads. <br />This type of activity requires authorization from the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, which regulates <br />disposal by road spreading on lease roads outside sensitive azeas. However, documentation of authorization <br />was not available during the inspection. If road spraying with the well water is to be utilized in the future, <br />authorization for the activity shall be obtained from the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission and the <br />records maintained at the facility. <br />Thank you for your staffs time and cooperation during the inspection, your effort to maintain compliance is <br />appreciated and encouraged. If you have any questions, or require additional information, I can be reached at 719- <br />545~650. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />David W.
