In discussions behveen the Division of Minerals and Geology and Water Quality <br />Control Division, we have been asked to send you this information at bond release application review to <br />allow your office to assess if NPDES permits are required for the spoil springs. <br />Colorado Yampa Coal Company has applied for final bond release for the Mine 2 portion of the Eckman <br />Park, Mine I and 2 Mine Permit (DMG permit C-81-071). The following spoil springs, shown on the <br />enclosed map do not report to a pond. <br />Mine 2: T <br />Q <br />R <br />M2-87 <br />M293- I <br />M293-2 <br />a.k.a. 6862000 <br />a.k.a. 6861700 <br />Two un-numbered spoil springs report to Permanent pond "M" (CO-27154 ou[fall 16a) <br />In reference to the map, it is my understanding that 6862650 and 6862600 report to pond "M" via a <br />permanent collection ditch. Springs M2PG6-l, M2UDS-I, and M2UDS-2 are upslope of mining <br />disturbance and would be natural springs. Wand W2 I have never encountered and 1 wonder if they have <br />dried up over the years. Q, R, M2-87, M293-I, and M293-2 are not distinct as separate discharge points. <br />Basically these spoil springs express themselves as a generally wet seepy area at the base of the reclaimed <br />slope and are sampled as a composite sample, "Q-comp". I do no[ have current water quality data on spoil <br />springs other than Q-comp, as the operator samples if the flow is greater than 35 g.p.m. in May, and Flows <br />have been less- than [hat. <br />If you need additional information or need clarification on something, please call me at (303) 866-4944. <br />Sincerply._ , , ~ ~~ ~ <br />Bin <br />nental~Prote tlon Specialist <br />1071\s106~ cd.wpd <br />
