Note that I have not received DMRs <br />for this permit and have created an electronic version to provide data in the interim. This is a construction permit to install a <br />pipeline under Fish Creek on the mine property. <br />In June there were two exceedances relating to total suspended solids (TSS), 30 day average and maximum. Four weekly <br />water quality samples were collected in April with TSS sequential results of 112, 90, 150, and 12 mg/L. The elevated values <br />are attributable to natural high flow erosion impacts along Fish Creek, and not from the pipeline construction back in April. <br />Historical data on Fish Creek immediately upstream of 001A indicates elevated TSS values during high flows on this creek. A <br />sample collected upstream of the pipeline crossing yielded a TSS of 259 the last week of May. 1 will be in communication with <br />Nicole Rolfe regarding this situation. <br />Please contact me directly at (970) 870-2750 with any questions. <br />Brian A.
