Walther <br />Executive Dnector <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Director <br />The Division has reviewed Twentymile Coal Company's application for a technical revision to update <br />operation of the Fish Creek Borehole Treatment Facility, installation of remote monitoring equipment and <br />road upgrades (TR 00-35). The Division has several questions as a result of otu review: <br />1. In the second pazagraph on page 2.05-50 under the heading Mine Water Dischazge System, the text refers <br />to sumps shown on Map 23 and 23a. Neither of these currently approved maps show sump areas. Map <br />16, recently added to the permit via TR-32 does show sump azeas and the location of the Fish Creek <br />borehole. Please consider referencing Map 16 in the text rather than Maps 23 and 23a. <br />2. On proposed page 2.05-50 (rev. ]/14/00) The Eastern Mining District dewatering borehole is referred to <br />as the 10 Right Dewatering Borehole. Elsewhere in the pemut, page Z.0~-78 (MR 98-154 rev. 9/9/97), <br />proposed page 2.05-82.1 (RN03 rev. 12/10/98) and proposed page 2.05-77.1 (TR 00-35 rev. 1/14/00) refer <br />to this site as the EMD dewateting treatment facility or EMD dewatering borehole. The Division requests <br />that Twentymile Coal Company remain consistent in the name reference to this site. Please revise text to <br />keep naming designation consistent. <br />3. Remote monitoring locations are not shown on Map 26 as stated on page 2.05-50.1. The locations are <br />shown on Map 13a. Is the correct map reference Map 13a or some other map? Please corrector revise <br />the text as necessary. <br />4. The detention time chart on page 2.05-77 has `5vrapped azound the page". The table on approved text <br />page 2.05-77 (NIIt 99-163 rev. 4/16/99) has 5 columns, whereas the proposed page 2.05-77 (TR 00-35 <br />rev. 1/14/00) has 4 columns with "TTL Detention" column overlapping on top of The "Flow Rate (gpm)" <br />column. Please correct this information and re-submit the text page. <br /> <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />
