Dear Mr, Dtllie, i This letter is in reepon a• to the Board order dated September 4, 1996, asking for • well develope~ plan to prevent further migration of the mud slide. Aa y know, we had • public hearing on August 29, 1996, at whi h time the Board d,dn't consider the slt• in violation, ho ver, we w~Jld 1,f<• to make the fellerlnq points •nd obaerv gone on this matter. I ' I.) A• of October 1, 1996, the flops were dry and no further migrationwas obaerved.~ 2.) As of October 1, 1996, all vegetation and organic matter originally contained on the slope appears to hav• been eliminated due to the sl/de. 3.) An earthen berm has been constructetl •nd a new gradi.,q plan has been developed •nd implemented to inaur• that most of the stormwater •nd snow'. melt wilh b• contained in the iepaundment area, and rill be regulated in such a manner !o reduce the amount of rater in the aliE• •rea. This should prevent further lubricatton and should help stop the migration of th• mud elide. 4.) As of October I, '996, it appears that the elide is not progressing any further dornhll} to the river. ~.) We will not treats any product or overburden stock- piles the! could increae• the loading of the slide area. 6.) We don't plan on doing any mechanfcal support of this area, to stop the slide. It is our hope that the measures w hav outlined above will help to minimise the slides and stop the migration. , I i 1 , y . .Y:~.1 ~ ,i., , ...~, .
