On Thursday March 4, 2004 a representative of the Solid Waste Unit of the Hazazdous Materials and
Waste Management Division (Division) inspected the Keenesburg Ash Disposal Facility, located about
seven miles northwest of Keenesburg, in Weld County. The purpose of the inspection was to assess the
compliance of the facility with the minimum standards of the Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities
Act, Title 30, Article 20, Part 1, C.R.S. as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, 6
CCR 1007-2 (Regulations). A copy of the inspection report is enclosed for your reference.
The Boazd of County Commissioners of Weld County granted approval of a certificate of designation
for the ash disposal site on April 15, 1987. The Weld County Commissioners approved a Site Specific
Development Plan and Special Review Permit #1160 (Second Amended Specia] Review Permit #386) to
allow the disposal of mine waste rock at the facility on January 7, 1997.
After arriving at the site at 10:00 a.m., Cindi Etcheverry (Weld County Department of Public Health and
Environment) and I were greeted by Don MacDonald, at which time I presented my credentials. Byron
Walker, with the State of Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology was also present. We first
inspected the operating records, which were found to be well organized and comprehensive.
We then accompanied Don MacDonald to observe the facility operations. We left the site office at
11:30 a.m.
