Sherman <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />Hayden Gulch Terminal, Inc. (HGTI) has provided the Division with the second quarter 2009 pond <br />inspection report for Hayden Gulch Loadout (DRMS Permit No. C1992-081). Two ponds exist on the <br />permit area, Truck Loop Pond (001A) and Rail Loop Pond (002A). The report was received by the <br />Division on August 3, 2009. Both the Truck Loop pond (Outfall 001A) and the Rail Loop pond (Outfall <br />002A) were inspected by HGTI on July 25, 2009. Neither pond was discharging at the time the ponds <br />were inspected. The report recognizes that there still exists a slow seep in the headgate of the Truck Loop <br />Pond (outfall 001 A). HGTI personnel measured this seep at 0.05 gpm. This seep is not considered a <br />problem at this time and does not appear to impact the function of the pond. These reports are in <br />compliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). <br />Thank you for the timely submittal of the second quarter 2009 Pond Inspection Reports. <br />Sincerely, <br />Protection Specialist II <br />C:\jhb\C92081\Reports\2nd Q ponds.doc <br />CC: John Weinman, Hydro-Environmental Solutions, Inc. <br />P.O.
