('athny <br />Division Director <br />NaNral Resource Trustee <br />I2E: Deserado Miue (C-1981-018); 3rd Quarter 2005 Coal Waste Pile Certification <br />Deaz Mr. Wanstedt: <br />The Division has received the 3rd Quarter 2005 coal waste bank certification from the <br />Deserado Mine. It was noted that the piles aze in compliance. In the future, please note <br />the maximum thickness of material achieved prior to compaction. Since I've become <br />familiaz with the Deserado Mine and the procedures followed there, it's become appazent <br />that compaction is actively accomplished continually and the normal lift thickness being <br />compacted is probably 8-12 inches at the maximum. For completeness, we request that <br />the thickness on compaction and the frequency of compaction be discussed in the report. <br />Thank you for the timely submittal. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jim Burnell <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Ofrce of Office of Colorado <br />
