Re: Comments on the Hukill Gulch Mill Waste Facility Design and Operations Report (dated May 29, 2007)
Dear Mr. Danio,
The Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division (Division) of the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (Department) has reviewed and is commenting on the above referenced document The Division considers the
information contained in the Hukill Gulch Mill Waste Facility Design and Operations Report (dated May 29, 2007)
incomplete with regard to meting all requirements of the Regulations Pertaining to Solid Waste Disposal Sites and Facilities,
6 CCR 1007-2 (Regulations), which are applicable to the proposed custom mill waste containment facility.
The Division understands that the proposal is for a solid waste disposal site and facility that does not require a certificate of
designation because it qualifies for the "one's own waste on one's own property" exemption found in subsection 1.4.1 of the
• Regulations. Accordingly, it is necessary that appropriate documentation of pertinent property ownership be provided to the
Division, which includes a legal description and boundary survey of the proposed waste containment facility associated with
the mill. Furthermore, please provide documentation that said property is not and will not be located at a permitted mine site.
Please revisit the Regulations for adequate incorporation of the necessary information into a revised design and operations
report In addition to subsections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, review Sections 1, 2, and 9 (i e., especially the applicable waste
impoundment design requirements in subsections 9.3 through 9.6) of the Regulations paying particular attention to the
closure and post-closure care requirements addressed in subsections 2.5, 2.6, 3.5 and 3.6. Focus on the financial assurance
requirements in subsection 1.8, the waste characterization requirements in subsection 2.1.2(C) and the ground water
monitoring requirements in subsection 2.2. Sufficient design detail is required to construct the waste containment facility.
As such, the design and operations report, including any design drawings, specifications and construction quality assurance
plan, are to be properly certified by a Colorado registered professional engineer. Additionally, please include the physical
address of the owner%operaior in the revised design and operations deport; as appropriate.
Please contact me at 303-692-3389 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Douglas M. Ikenberry
