DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Roy Romer Governor June 7, 1996 lames S. Lochhead Exec ulrve Diretlor Michael B. Lang Division Dvecler Ms. Diane Delaney Mid-Continent Resources P. O. Box 1298 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 RE: MID-CONTINENT LIMESTONE QUARRY -Extension of Time to Clean Up Hydrocarbon Spills -File No. M-82-121 Dear Ms. Delaney: In response to your letter of May 23, 1996, requesting an extension of time to clean up the spills at the Mid-Continent Quarry, the Division understands that barrels were found tipped over at the Mid-Continent Quarry site and that BLM has restricted access to the site. You have informed us that you have removed these barrels to the Loadout Facility in Carbondale. Given these circumstances, the Division will extend the clean up time required in the Problem Section of our April 30, 1996 inspection report. However, please note that Mid-Continent continues to be obligated to properly reclaim the Quarry and the Loadout Facility, which may include cleaning up the spills at the Quarry, as well as properly disposing of the barrels and other items at the Loadout Facility. The Division is cognizant of the fact that Mid-Continent may now have obligations under other laws and regulations concerning this situation. The Division does not want to interfere with Mid-Continent's compliance with these other laws, but only wishes to ensure that the sites are properly reclaimed. The Division requests that Mid-Continent keep DMG informed, on at least a monthly basis, about what actions Mid-Continent takes, has taken or intends to take to remedy these problems.
