"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.

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 6a: We understand that a sample of Sed Pond E's discharge

been collected and submitted to ACZ Laboratories in Steamboat Springs for full suite
analysis. We understand that TCC's employee who is in charge of obtaining the analysis is
out of TCC's offices today, but is expected to return tomorrow. We will therefore extend
the abatement deadline for Step 6a from today (10/2/06) to tomorrow (10/3/06).
Step 6b: For the reasons described above regarding the extension
of
Step 6a's abatement deadline, we will extend the abatement deadline for Step 6b from today
to tomorrow as well.
