Box 774018 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />RE: 1991 Annual Hydrology Report and Annual Reclamation Report <br />Kerr Coal Company, File No. C-80-006 <br />Dear Mr. James: <br />oF.=~~ <br />~~ - 9 <br />v~e '_ <br />'~ ~ ~.v <br />~ 18'!6 ~ <br />Roy Romer. <br />Governor <br />Fred R. Banta, <br />Division Director <br />The Division has completed its review of the 1991 Annual Hydrology Report <br />(AHR) and 1991 Annual Reclamation Report (ARR). The AHR is required as per <br />Stipulation No. Rl of the current Permit No. C-80-006. The ARR is required by <br />Rule 2.04.13 to be submitted by February 15 of each year for the following <br />year and must contain specific information concerning reclamation. <br />AHR <br />General Comments <br />An initial review of the report revealed that a map of the monitoring <br />locations was not Included. Investigation of the monitoring plan <br />within the permit application, page 23-176, references Map 23-2. No <br />reference to a loadout monitoring map is made to either the text or <br />the report. Please make mention of all maps and monitoring plans in <br />the report so that those items can be retrieved to assist in the <br />Division making a thorough review. Many times a staff hydrologist <br />who is unfamiliar with the site and the permit is assigned to do the <br />review. Any assistance you can provide to make the task quicker and <br />more efficient is a benefit to all parties. <br />Site 327 is not shown on the mine area map, probably because it is <br />located a substantial distance east of the permit area. Nonetheless, <br />please add the site to the map with some notation of its approximate <br />location. <br />Surface Water Quantity and Quality <br />iiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiii <br />STATE O~ LuLUx1vD0 <br />Station 304 is always discharging a trickle, yet no notations were <br />made during sampling. What is the cause of this discharge and why is <br />1t going unnoticed? <br />
