Extension Request
Hi, Jerry. This is a follow-up to yesterday's comments regarding Step 6d of CV-2006-006:
I spoke by telephone with CDPHE/WQCD yesterday afternoon. Quoting them, CDPE/WQCD stated
that:
"There are no requirements to perform a WET test during a spill at Twentymile. However,
the (Water Quality Control) Division does have the authority to require a facility to
perform a WET test if we feel it is necessary...Hopefully we will be able to come to a
decision on whether or not we should require the facility to perform a WET test."
Please, therefore, proceed today with asking the analytical lab that does your WET testing
whether a WET test could be performed on any left-over portion of the sample of the Pond E
discharge that was previously submitted for analysis. Please let us know today what the
lab said.
Thanks, Jerry.
Dan

Jerry -- Sorry (again), but somehow my comments on Step 7 didn't get sent. We have
contacted DOW and OSACE to obtain their written concurrences with your Minor Revision
application MR 06-211 (to clean up the spill). We hope to get those concurrences today or
tomorrow, and are thus extending the deadline for Step 7 from today until tomorrow.

Hi, Jerry. Thanks for updating me today on the status of Twentymile Coal Company's
compliance with CDRMS NOV CV-2006-006. I've discussed your comments with Dave Berry and
Byron Walker in our office. Here's where things stand:
Step 5: When I extended the deadline on this step from last Friday until today, I was
unaware that Byron had sent a letter dated Sept 25 2006 stating that we had considered
this step abated as of Sept 22 2006 (the date that TCC had submitted copies of its
certified mailing receipts to us). Sorry for the confusion. We will stand by that
decision; however, we request that TCC submit copies of the signed return receipts to us
