III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 999 ~~~ STATE OF COLORADO Roy Romer, Govei DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION FRED R. BANTA, Dlreetor April 12, 1988 Ftr. David M. Stout Environmental Coordinator Wyoming Fuel Co. 12055 W. Second Place Lakewood, CO 80215 Re: New Elk Mine (Permit C-81-012) Technical Revision No. 06 Update and Modification of Drainage Plan Dear Mr. Stout: As you will note from the accompanying decision form, TR-06, as most recently updated in your April 4, 1988 response, has been given partial approval. Stipulations have heen attached to that partial approval specifying what portion of the plan cannot he approved at this time and that the approved portion of the plan is to be completed by June 1, 1988. This date was mentioned in your letter to the Division of December 3, 1987. In regard to the plan, it is understood and agreed by the fivision that WFC must have some latitude in the actual implementation of the plan. The Division, however, cannot approve those portions of the plan as proposed where apparent violations of the rules or the approved permit exist. Specifically, culverts are lacking in at least two instance where haul roads are crossing ditches in the East Portal area, and there is no illustration of the ditch required for drainage of the new access road to the RDA. When these concerns are adequately addressed, full approval of the proposed revision can be made. As for eliminating the need fora culvert in Ditch 3 by eliminating a portion of the haul road system, that is acceptable if the Division receives and approves a Minor Revision proposing that particular reduction of the haul road system. If you have any questions in regard to the above, please call. Sincerely, Jav~o, CS~•uQ~ James C.
