Pat Nelson <br />Colorado Department of Health <br />Water Quality Control Division <br />4210 E. 11th Ave. <br />Denver, Colorado 80220 <br />Re: Filtration of Mine Water Discharge <br />Golden Eagle Mine, Permit # C-81-012 <br />CDPS Permit. # CO-0000906 <br />Dear MS. Nelson: <br />As you are aware from pervious correspondence, Wyoming Fuel <br />Company (WFC) has recently been experiencing elevated levels of <br />total suspended solids in our mine water discharge. For the past <br />several months WFC has directed all mine water to a large sediment <br />pond (GE003). During this time there has been no discharge of <br />water from the permit area. <br />At this time WFC intends to lease a Fluids Control Inc. <br />filtration system to determine if this passive remediation <br />technique is capable of reducing 'fSS levels to acceptable limits. <br />As we discussed on 1/17/91, this system will simply involve <br />pumping caster from pond 003 into the filtration unit which will in <br />turn release water into the approved discharge point. No chemicals <br />will be used for this trial. We anticipate using this system for <br />approximately one month. <br />Should you have any questions on this matter, please feel free <br />to contact me. <br />nc <br />Stuart'Francone <br />Environmental Coordinator <br />cc: -.
