Shelton <br />Director <br />December 6, 1982 <br />Mr. Clem Parkin <br />Environmental Coordinator <br />Colorado Yampa Coal Company <br />Box 772129 <br />Steamboat Springs, Colorado 80477 <br />Re: Aquatic Monitoring <br />Dear Mr. Parkin: <br />Colorado Yampa Coal Company has requested to te~~rninate the yearly monitoring <br />of macrophytes, fish and benthic imrertebrates at twelve sampling sites at <br />the Eckman Park Ftine. This monitering program is conducted under the require- <br />ments of permit no. 79-177. <br />. CYCC has concluded that after several years of monitoring the information <br />derived from the program is inconsequential and trends appear to be related to <br />the inherent stream variability rather than the effects of coal mining. The <br />Colorado Division of i•lildlife feels the existing data is sufficient and they <br />strongly recommend that no further sampling be done. <br />Based on CYCC's results and the recommendation by the CDOI'! to eliminate the <br />aquatic monitoring, the Division will not require additional macrophyte, fish <br />or benthic invertebrate sampling. Therefore, CYCC's request to eliminate the <br />aquatic monitoring program is approved. <br />-Please call me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Sandra L. Emrich <br />Reclamtion Specialist <br />E/-PJP----- - -- - <br />cc: Terrell Johnson <br />Floyd Jchnsan, OSI~1 <br /> <br />
