Walther <br /> <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 Executive Direuor <br /> Michael A Long <br /> Dw~sion Dueaor <br />Re: 1997 and 1998 Annual Hydrology Reports and Annual Reclamation Reports <br />for Hayden Gulch Loadout, Permit C-92-081, <br />submitted by Montgomery Watson <br />Dear Mr. Weinman: <br />The Division has completed its review of the above-referenced reports. The reports were well-prepared and <br />thorough, and they fulfilled for 1997 and 1998 the requirements for annual reclamation reports and annual <br />hydrology reports (AHR). <br />The f~~.vision (CDMG) has the comments, below, and the comments shown on the attached revie•.v <br />checklist. No responses are necessary from the permittee. <br />CDMG's letter of 11/7/97 (1996 AHR review) <br />HGT!'s response to CDMG's comment I -Section 6.1 of your 1997 AHR explains that HGTI is <br />considering relocating the upstream monitoring location from HGDS 1 to a site nearer the Loadout for the <br />purpose of minimizing impacts from non-HGTI sources. CDMG believes such a move is desirable and <br />moving sooner rather than later also is desirable in order to establish an historical record at the new site. <br />Errors in CDMG's references to HGDSI -You correctly pointed out in Section 6.2 of your 1997 annual <br />report that CDMG misstated the Flow at HGSD l on 4/23/96. CDMG also misstated the date when certain <br />parameters generally exceeded historical means at that upstream site. The correct date was 1 1/4/96, rather <br />than 4/23/96, and CDMG should have made no statement relating the Flow on 4/23/96 to the high <br />parameter levels on 11/4/96. We apologize for the error. <br />Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Tom Kaldenbach <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />ce: Dan Hernandez.
