Marr Mine, Permit C-1980-006 <br />First Quarter 2010 Sediment Pond Inspection Report <br />Dear Mr. Patterson: <br />COLORADO <br />D I V I S I ON OF <br />RECLAMATION <br />MINING <br />SAFETY <br />Bill Ritter, Jr. <br />Governor <br />James B. Martin <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) has reviewed and found the above <br />referenced report to be in compliance with the following Division regulations: 4.05.9(14), 4.05.9(15), and <br />4.05.9(17). <br />The first quarter sediment pond inspection reports were received by the Division on May 4, 2010. Inspection of <br />the Loadout Pond was conducted by staff of North West Colorado Consultants, Inc. (NWCC) on April 27, <br />2010. Per, the report, the pond was functioning as designed at the time of the inspection. <br />Per the inspection report, there are no identified action items except monitoring of burrow holes in the <br />embankment. In addition, based on Division inspections, the channel below the primary spillway requires <br />cleaning as the discharge pipe is no longer visible. <br />Per Rule 4.05.9(15)(d), these pond inspection reports should include the existing storage capacity of each <br />impoundment. Please add this item to future submittals. It would be helpful to also include in this discussion <br />the design storage of each pond, although this last item is not specifically required by this Rule. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (303) 866-3567, extension 8113. <br />Sincerely, <br />61-74 ?. <br />Robert Zuber, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Cc: NWCC, 2580 Copper Ridge Drive, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487, attn: Nicholle <br />Office of <br />Office Land Reclamation of <br />Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
