During this time, the exposed areas of the quarry have increased <br />extensively and during periods of significant rainfall, the South St. Vram Creels turns extremely red as it <br />carries an enormous sediment load. This sediment load is undoubtedly destructive to the aquatic habitat, and <br />works against efforts in the Town of Lyons to introduce a "catch and release" fishery on the St. Vrain River <br />through and near the Town. <br />I have no' idea if the. Staie WQCD has had any stormwater permitting requirements on this quarry but if <br />there are'any, they are totally inadequate. During this time period, the attached sign has indicated that the <br />query operated under a Mined Land Reclamation Permit. Since the quarry has been inactive for over a year, <br />and I have been told that there are no plans to re-open this facility, I am wondering when the Mined Land <br />Reclamation Permit requirements for the quarry will come into play. I am hopeful that runoff controls could <br />be instituted at an early time period to mitigate this stormwater problem, while the remaining reclamation <br />program moves forward. <br />I would appreciate any information that you can provide on this permit and plans for moving forward on the <br />reclamation program at this facility. Please note that I work extensively on international projects, and will be <br />in Senegal Nov 28-Dec 18 and Mongolia Jan 2-16. You can always find me on email at l.quinn@us&neL <br />Thank you for your assistance. <br />Sincerely, <br />Larry Quinn Associates <br />- Larry Quinn, PhD, P.E. <br />Consultant <br />Cc: Steven H.
