As we have discussed <br />previously, on the night of July 12, 1992 there was a 100~year 24 <br />hour storm event at Salt Creek's McClane Canyon Mine. The sediment <br />• pond at the mine was completely filled with water and sediment. <br />This pond is designed to retain the volume of six 10 year 24 hour <br />events. Prior to the storm there was approximately the volume of <br />one 10 year event stored in the pond. An unknown quantity of water <br />and sediment bypassed the pond through the emergency spillway and <br />overflowed tha embankment after the pond was filled. <br />On July 13, 1992, Mr. John Kubic of your office was informed of the <br />storm and the need for Salt Creek to discharge the water in the pond <br />to regain the capacity of the pond for the next storm. 'the standing <br />water in the pond was discharged and sampled. By letters dated July <br />_ 1 as well as, phone calls, your o ice <br />20 1993 and 9co'~st 3 99^ <br />has been informed of the discharge and the sample results. Copies <br />of the letters and sampling results are being submitted with this <br />request for exemption. <br /> <br />Please call if there are questions or if I can be <br />cerely, <br />~~~~ <br />of assistance. <br />John hl.
