Boz 2379 <br />Colorado Springs, CO 80901-000 / <br />RE: Snyder Quarty (Permit M-77-210) Letter from Fred G. Luiszer, Ph.D. citing possible associated groundwater <br />problem <br />Dear Mr. Paraday: <br />Enclosed is a letter recently received by the Division in regard to a possible groundwater problem associated with <br />the re-opening of the Snyder Quarry. The letter does not necessarily constitute a complaint about the operation in <br />its present, essentially inactive state, and Dr. Luiszer does not represent himself as a potentially injured party. It is, <br />however, very possible that this letter and/or the thesis findings referred to by Dr. Luiszer, may be used by some <br />one closer to the site, e.g. in Manitou Springs, as the basis of a complaint. Should such a complaint be received in <br />regard to or following the resumption of active operations a[ the Quarty, the Division would be required to look <br />into the matter and the possibility of groundwater pollution by the operation as well as offsite damage. <br />~~ <br />DIVISION OF <br />MINERALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING•SAFETY <br />Bill D.+ens <br />Guvernrn <br />Gmg E. watcher <br />E.CCwi,p Dircclo, <br />hLChael B. Long <br />Division Direaar <br />The Division cannot forecast the future and such a complaint may never be made. Nevertheless, it would appear in <br />the best interests of Castle Concrete Co., as operator of the quarry, to re-examine its operational plan for the site. <br />That re-examination should include an evaluation of the effectiveness of those measures already in place as well as <br />those which might be taken to ensure compliance with C.R.S. 34-32.5-116 (4) (d) and (h). These sections of the Act <br />require no unauthorized release of pollutants to ground water and the minimization of any disturbances to the <br />prevailing hydrologic balance of the affected land and surrounding area. <br />IF you have any questions on the above, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ G~~ec~u.a <br />James C.
