Cattany <br /> Division Director <br />RE: Trapper Mining, Inc., Permit C-81-010 Natural Resource Trustee <br />Third Quarter 2008 Discharge Monitoring Reports Review <br />Dear Mr. Roberts, <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (CDRMS) has reviewed and found the <br />above referenced report to be in compliance with Rule 4.05.13(2). The Third Quarter Discharge <br />Monitoring Reports were received by the Division on 31 October 2008. The reports cover the time <br />period from 01 July 2008 through 30 September 2008. <br />Five NPDES outfalls discharged during the Third Quarter of 2008. Outfalls 001 and 011 discharged <br />during the first two weeks. Outfalls 002 and 020 discharged routinely throughout the quarter. Outfall <br />018 discharged in response to dewatering the pond for expansion. Outfalls 011 and 020 were sampled <br />for WET analyses during the quarter. No exceedances of WET test limitations were observed. <br />It is noted that primary effluent limitations of TSS were exceeded at outfall 018 on 08 July 2008 due to <br />the pumping of the pond for expansion. Based on a Memorandum of Understanding between the <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety and the Water Quality Control Division (WQCD), the <br />WQCD will be responsible for enforcing CDPS permit conditions including exceedances of TSS. <br />Thank you for the timely submittal. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
