C-012-81 and C-O13-81 <br />Dear Mr. Deckler: <br />Following are Wyoming Fuel Company (WFC) responses to your letter of August L5, <br />1985 regarding culvert maintenance at the New Elk and Golden Eagle Mines. <br />Incidental Boundary Change <br />• The access point is 175 ft upstream from the New Elk crossing. Figure 1 has been <br />modified to reflect this change. The revised access for the Golden Eagle Mine is <br />shown on Figure 2. An existing road lies 40 ft west on the south side of the river. <br />The downstream boundary has been revised to the original permit boundary. WFC <br />owns the property at the access point. <br />li. Maintenance Operation <br />1. WFC will clean the culverts between September 1 through October 15 and <br />February 1 through March 15. The Division will be notified in the event WFC <br />requires emergency cleaning. <br />2. WFC will either use rubber-tired or track loading equipment to remove gravels <br />from the upstream portion of the culverts. The amount of time for <br />maintenance activities will be dependent on the amount of gravel deposited. <br />We estimate 1 to 2 days will be necessary to facilitate cleaning. The volume <br />of gravel will be dependent upon the amount of deposition. <br />3. Normally WFC will not stockpile the gravels removed from culvert <br />maintenance. They will be used for road base or ballast. [f necessary, <br />potential stockpile areas at the New Elk, if necessary, will be located just east <br />of the culverts being cleaned and to the north of the scrap yard outside of the <br />buffer zone to the river. Golden Eagle stockpiles will be located <br />approximately 100 yards south of the river on the east side of the haul road. <br />• <br />
