The Division does not <br />believe that the condition referred to in TY 1 existed at the last State <br />complete inspection. The Division believes that the rills noted on the pond <br />inslopes resulted from precipitation events which occurred subsequent to the <br />June 12, 1990 complete inspection, Drought conditions were prevalent in <br />Colorado in the spring of 1990. However, unusually heavy precipitation <br />occurred in July 1990, Therefore a violation was not cited on June 12, 1990 <br />because the condition did not exist, and a violation did not exist. <br />The condition referred to in TY 2 was apparently missed during the last State <br />Complete inspection, <br />The condition referred to in TV 3 is not a violation. As addressed in the <br />Division's August 17, 1990 response to the TDN, this condition reflects a <br />permitting defect. The Division has taken steps to rectify the defect. <br />Also enclosed is the MEIR Supplemental for the NOV #C-90-035 which was issued <br />by the Division. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan J. hkG.dnnon <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br />SJM/ern <br />Enclosure(s) <br />cc: Carl Mount, ML RD w/enclosures <br />9999E <br />
