Natural Resource Trustee <br />P.O. Box 191 <br />Victor, Colorado 80860 <br />Re: Request to temporarily store fresh water in the External Storage Pond Permit # M-1980-244. <br />Dear Mr. Goodrich: <br />The Division has received your request to temporarily store fresh water in the External Storage pond, to be <br />utilized as make up water for the Valley Leach Facility. The Division has reviewed the engineering letter <br />from Dr. John Luppo ,about the volume of water that can be safely stored before exceeding the <br />probabilistic water balance model for the valley leach facility. As long as the storage is on a temporary <br />basis, the Division will grant the request as explained in Dr. Luppo's letter and as described in the Table <br />attached with your letter. <br />Both the Division and CC&V understand the importance of this pond as an Emergency Storage Facility for <br />processed water, from the Valley Leach facility, after it meets the agricultural standard for WAD cyanide. <br />The Division request's CC&V keep a log in the External Storage pond shed, that shows how much fresh <br />water is stored, so it can be looked at during the monthly site inspection. <br />If you have questions, please contact me at (303)866-4072 <br />Sincerely, <br />Berhan Keffelew <br />Environmental Protection Specialist. <br />Cc: Tony Waldron, Via Email <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver Grand Junction f)uranQn A.-r~.,o ~n,t In~~rt.,o AAinoc <br />
