Box 773598 <br />Steamboat Springs, Colorado 80477 <br /> <br />Re: Funk Pit Amendment - File No.: M-79-58 <br />Dear Mr. Douglas: <br />I have reviewed this application for adequacy and have the following questions <br />and comments that must be addressed in detail at least 5 days prior to the <br />November 25, 1985 meeting of the Mined Land Reclamation Board: <br />A. Exhibit B - Mining Plan <br />1. In light of the high water table, how will the operator protect <br />surface and ground water from contamination caused by accidental <br />spills of petrolium products being stored on site or resulting from <br />the operation of an asphalt plant? <br />2. To what depth will gravel be mined below the existing ground <br />level? <br />3. What is the nature of the material immediately below the deposit <br />being mined? <br />B. Exhibit D - Water Resources <br />1. Please address how redirecting the ground water through a <br />perforated pipe to a nearby drainage ditch effects the hydrologic <br />balance. How will the operator minimize the effects to the <br />hydrologic balance caused by the outlined mine related activities? <br />2. The operator has indicated that the ground water will drain into <br />a nearby drainage ditch. Is the operator refering to the <br />intermittent stream? If not, where does the drainage ditch carry <br />the water to? <br />3. Please provide a letter from the Colorado Department of Health, <br />Water Quality Control Division indicating that an NPDES permit is <br />not necessary. If this would not be possible due to time <br />constraints, please provide the basis upon which the local <br />environmental health director feels that an NPDES permit is not <br />necessary. <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver.
