Cattany <br />Division DireROr <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />During the field inspection of August 25, 2004, the Division noted several differences between the <br />approved Technical Revision No. 30 design configuration and the as-built construction of Pond F. These <br />differences were also documented by Bowie Resowces Limited (BRL) in the as-built certification <br />submittal dated July 1, 2004 and received at the Division on July 6, 2004. The Division considers some of <br />these differences to be substantial, such as the changes in the primary and emergency dischazge systems. <br />Because substantial changes were made to the design of Pond F, the Division requests that BRL revise the <br />approved pond design in the permit application to match the as-built configuration and demonstrate that <br />the as-built pond is in compliance with all applicable regulations. This information should be submitted to <br />the Division as a technical revision. The submittal should include revised permit text, revised pond <br />hydrology design information and revised maps. <br />Also, because the pumping system is an integral part of Pond F, the Division requests that BRL construct <br />the primary dischazge piping system at Pond F so that it will be ready for use. <br />If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />r1 <br />J sep J.
