(Colowyo); Spill No. 2011-0114 <br />Dear Mr. Peterson, <br />RECEIVED <br />2011 <br />Colo. Dept. of Health <br />Grand Jct. Office <br />This letter is a follow up on a phone conversation reporting a spill to the Colorado <br />Department of Public Health and Environment on February 28, 2011, at approximately <br />10:35 A.M., by Mr. Tony Tennyson for the initial reporting of a spill that occurred on <br />February 26, 2011, at approximately 9:30 A.M. <br />Colowyo Coal Company experienced a spill of approximately 150 gallons of hydraulic <br />oil in the lower most seam of the West Pit. This spill occurred as 129 loader was <br />repairing a berm and an oil ring failed on the main hydraulic oil line. The machine <br />stopped where it was working and the area was immediately bermed off. Colowyo <br />maintenance department repaired the hydraulic line where the machine broke down, and <br />after repair to the 129 loader, it was removed from the spill location. Subsequent to the <br />loader removal two scarper loads of dirt were removed from the area and hauled it to our <br />in-pit treatment location. The spill was completely isolated due to the location deep in <br />the pit; nonetheless the spill did not enter any state waterways. <br />If you should have any additional questions please feel free to contact me at your <br />convenience at (970) 824-1532. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tony fenny on ?J <br />Environmental Engineer <br />Cc: C.F. 193
