Box 2679 • Colorado Springs, Colorado • 80901 • (303) 475 -7005 <br />July 18,1984 <br />RECEIVED <br />Mr. Gregg Squire <br />Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />Denver, Colorado <br />Dear Gregg: <br />JUL 19 1984 <br />"INED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISI01 <br />Colo. Dept of Natural Resources <br />On July 17th, Mr. Ron Sassman of the Office of Surface Mining <br />inspected the Chimney Rock Mine. Although there were no ten <br />day notices issued, a couple of concerns were expressed by Mr. <br />Sassman which you should be aware of. They are as follows: <br />1. Drainage from the north half of the explosives storage <br />area (approximately one tenth acre) was determined to be <br />leaving the mine site over the north edge instead of <br />following established drainage patterns into sediment <br />pond 003. Although no runoff was present at the time of <br />the inspection, some evidence of runoff to the north was <br />present. A small berm was established around the north- <br />northeast edge of the area(see attached Mine Plan Map) to <br />prevent any future runoff. As a result of this prompt <br />action, a ten day notice was not issued. <br />2. The 100 ft. buffer zone west of Stollsteimer Creek and <br />south of the main haulroad(see Area of Concern on attached <br />Mine Plan Map) was determined to be intruded upon by <br />Mr. Sassman. My response to him was that Ditch 3F (see <br />Drainage Control, Map 8BR1) was approved inside the 100 <br />ft. buffer zone to contain runoff of the reclaimed slope <br />in this area, and that some contamination of the area <br />was inevitible due to the steepness of the original slopes. <br />3. Drainage from the explosives storage area and landowner <br />access road is beginning to form an erosional channel <br />along the north edge of the reclaimed east slope. Although <br />it is not currently a major problem, Mr. Sassman suggested <br />a small ditch be made and rip-rapped to channel the <br />runoff and prevent erosion of the reclaimed slope. The <br />ditch would be made on previously unmined ground, approx- <br />imately 15 ft. north of the edge of the reclaimed slope <br />(see rip-rap channel on attached map). <br />These concerns will unboubtedly be expressed to you by Mr. Sassman <br />in the next few days. Please inform us of your decisions on these <br />items as soon as possible, and if I can be of any assistance <br />please call. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ `%y/~/J~YiV'~~ <br />Randy Kroskob _ _ <br />Chimney Rock Mine Engineer ~ <br />
