Box 103 Delta, CO 81416 ~~g 15 ihtl5 RE: Correspondence of January 28, 1985 MIN€D LdND RECU-MATIQN DIVISION cDPS No: Co-0034321 Colo. Dept. of Natural Resources Delta County F,le,v~. 17-ao - Pf Na./ Dear Mr. Starner: Thank you for your letter of January 28, 1985. It appears that there is a misunderstanding concerning the discharge from the gravel washing area. In your letter you explain that you thought the discharge was under a grandfather clause and exempted from the permit. Thie is not the case under the laws which regulate sand and gravel operations. Each point source discharge associated with your operation, regardless of age, must be covered under your permit. If not authorized under the permit, then the point source needs to be eliminated. Any unauthorized discharge is a violation of both state and federal law. A review of your original permit application shows that the only discharge applied for was "pit dewatering". Ae a result, the permit was issued solely for the pit dewatering activity. Enclosed is an applicaiton form which needs to be completed if you wish to use the gravel washing discharge point. To legally do so will require a permit amendment. If you elect some alternative to discharging this water to the ditch, please describe. Your reply is due in this office by March 1, 1985. Please direct any questions regarding the application form to Jon Rubic at 320-8333, extension 3491. 4210 EAST 11TH AVENUE DENVER COLORADO 80220 PHONE (3031 320-8333
