This site is <br />located in a portion of the NzSF~ and the WzNW~ Section 28, Township 14 South, Range 92 <br />West of the 6th P.M. Delta County, Colorado. Please be advised that the Delta County <br />Board of Commissioners has purchased this property in 1988 which they have leased for <br />the past 12 years as a landfill site. I have enclosed a copy of a proposal sulxnitted to <br />the Colorado Department of Health to amend the Certificate of Designation to allow asbe- <br />stos waste disposal in the "gob" disposal pit. Also, if possible, the county would uti- <br />lize the rest of the "gob" disposal for trash disposal. We are mainl concerned about <br />the falmability of the gob if used for solid waste cover material. We woul appreciate <br />any comments you might have on the compatability-of_using-the '~ob"-pit £or-solid_waste <br />disposal. If you wave any laboratory data or analysis on this 'gob" material at the <br />North Fork Landfill please forward that informiation to us. -- - <br />It is important to the County that this solid waste disposal site be used to its ful- <br />lest potential. Therefore, the count would tition ou to suspend Tans for reclamatio <br />of this site until the county s completely used this area or t e so id waste landfil . <br />Thank you for your attention to this matter and if you should have any questions re- <br />garding this matter please contact me. Also, if we are being presumptuous regarding <br />your permiting and bonding of this site please inform us inorder that our plans might <br />dovetail with your responsibilities. <br />Truly, <br />Kenneth Nordstrom <br />Director of Environmental Health <br />Delta County Health Department <br />103 West 11th Street <br />Delta, Colorado 81416 <br />874-9715 <br />/' <br />KN:iwp <br />
