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 terminate the yearly monitoring <br />of macrophytes, fish and benthic invertebrates at twelve sampling sites at <br />the Eckman Park 1.1ine. This monitoring program is conducted under the require- <br />ments of permit no. 79-177. <br />• C'fCC 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 llildlife 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 CDCIJ 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 />~nwd.~tt... ~, r~T~.~l..~siJ <br />Sandra L.
