Kerr Coal Company • Mur Mine (COPS Permit COG850021) <br />stormwater Exemption Requuts <br />Dear Ms. Nelson: <br />Kerr Coal Company (Kerr) previously submitted stormwater exemption requuts for effluent <br />limitation exceedancu on 4/1/93, 4/7/93, 4/14/93, 4/21/93, 4/29/93 and 5/5/93. These <br />requests were submitted on a recently developed "checkoff form" to simplify both reporting <br />and WQCD review. As indicted by your letter of June 8, 1993, this general approach is <br />acceptable but the request submittals were not adequate to meet WQCD documentation <br />requirements for the spedfic information items noted in your letter. <br />On receipt of your lever, we reviewed vuious option to provide the required information and <br />contacted Jon Kubic of your office to discuss both option and proposed documentation <br />approach. As a result of these discussions, the stormwater exemption request form wu revised <br />and a drab wu submitted for WQCD rcvieav and comment. Further disassion resulted in <br />• concurrence that the revised form and proposed approach for documentation of climatic <br />conditions would meet WQCD informational needs. We are, therefore, submitting with this <br />letter stormwater exemption requests for the above noted dace on the revised forms. <br />Separate exemption requests ue provided for each dace on which an effluent limitation <br />exceedance occurred. Each exemption request includes the exemption request form letter and <br />appropriate water sample analysis report sheet(s). In addition, in order to document snowmelt <br />or stormwuer runoff conditions, monthly climatic data summary sheets from the Nuional <br />Weather Service Field Office in Walden, Colorado ue provided for each month during which <br />one or more exemptions ue requested <br />Please review the ummpanying stormwater exemption requests and feel free to contact me with <br />any questions or comments. We appretaate your comidention and Jon Kubic's assistance in <br />resolving this matter. <br />Sincerely, <br />• cc J. KubirJWQCD <br />R Price/DMG (w/attachments) <br />J.
