htr. Mike Long <br />October 28, 199a <br />Page 2 <br />3. Slurco has been cited for improper rip rap at the impoundment emergenry spillway. In 1991, the Division <br />approved reclamation of the sediment control system for the site. Ditches to the pond were removed, <br />however, the pond was retained as a permanent impoundment to provide water for wildlife and livestock <br />grazing which changed the design requirements. Old operational information concerning many aspects <br />of the mine remain in the permit document. As such, Slurco feels that the Division should have <br />questioned the information in the document knowing that a design change had been approved (reference <br />Phase II release). As a result, Slurco does not feel that we are in violation of maintaining the emergenry <br />spillway rip rap. A Technical Revision has been submitted to clarify this situation. <br />In summary, Slurco feels that the situations describe above could have been clarified at the time of [he <br />inspection which would have prevented the issuance of this violation. Because the mine site has been fully <br />reclaimed, company representatives are not on site and do not accompany the Division on inspections where <br />this type of clarification could be provided. As such, we would request that we be notified (within 48 hours) <br />of inspections so that we may participate and resolve these types of issues at the site before unnecessary <br />violations are written and request that this violation be vacated for the reasons stated. <br />Should you have questions or if you need additional information concerning this request for vacation, please <br />do not hesitate to le[ me know. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~ ~~ <br />Jerrv H.
