SHELTON, Director <br />August 31, 1987 <br />Ms. Kay James <br />Walden Coal Company <br />P.O. Box 229 <br />Boulder, Colorado 80306 <br />Re: Bourg Strip Annual Hydrologic Report (File No. C-81-021) <br />Dear Ms. James: <br />The Division has reviewed lJalden Coal. Company's 1987 Annual Hydrologic Report <br />for the Bourg Strip Mine. From the data submitted, it appears that the Bourg <br />Strip Mine is having a minimal of fect upon the local hydrologic regime. <br />As the Bourg Strip is currently being reclaimed, future hydrologic reports <br />should more specifically address erosion from the reclaimed areas, and <br />the effects, if any, to P1ann Draw. In the initial stages of vegetation <br />reestablishment, more frequent monitoring of both Mann Draw and the reclaimed <br />area may be beneficial to both Walden Coal Company and the Division. <br />Informal discussions regarding an appropriate monitoring frequency should <br />be held when Walden Coal Company submits the proposed sediment control plan <br />for the Bourg Strip Mine. <br />If you have any questions or comments, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Steve Renn~ <br />Hydrologist <br />SGR/vjr <br />cc: Michael Savage <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel.
