Re: Minor Revision No. 209 (Mine Water Dischazge Pipe in Lone Pine Gulch); West Elk
Mine (Permit No. C-80-007)
Dear Ms. Johnston:
On Mazch O5, 1997 the Division received the above-referenced minor revision application. The
application has been deemed incomplete for the purposes of filing for the following reasons:
The minor revision did not address any surface ownership issues that may azise from the
installation of the proposed mine water dischazge pipe. It is unclear from revised Map
54A whether the pipe will impact other surface owners. Please provide a statement
indicating whether any portion of the pipe will be installed on any surface owner's
property other than Mountain Coal Company (MCC).
2. Please revise Map 54A to include township, range, and section information. All future
maps submitted as revisions to the permit document should include this information.
3. The trace of the pipe is bazely legible on Map 54A, particularly where it discharges to
Lone Pine Gulch. Please revise the map to clearly show the discharge location and label
it appropriately.
4. Outfalls 014 and O15 have been added as discharge points, according to the amendment
to the CDPS permit (submitted with MR-209). However, these have not been addressed
in the appropriate sections of the permit document. Outfall 013 is only briefly described
on revised permit page 2.05-22 submitted with MR-209. All new outfalls should be
briefly described in the permit. Please revise the permit document accordingly.
5. Additional outfalls and discharge quantities need to be added to [he Probable Hydrologic
Consequences portion of the permit. Please revise the permit document accordingly.
