Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division received Coors Energy Company's First Quarter 2011 Pond Inspection report on March 21, 2011. <br />The report indicates that CEC conducted inspections on March 17, 2011. <br />The Division has reviewed this report and did not find any cause for concern related to the ponds. No discharge <br />from any of the ponds was reported, and no structural issues were identified. Only two maintenance issues were <br />identified: the report indicates that vegetation at the sewage lagoon is inadequate and that there are burrow holes <br />at the downstream end of the Dugout Pond. However, as previously noted, the sewage lagoon poses no threat to <br />public safety or environmental health. Also, the burrows at the Dugout Pond are acceptable as this is not an <br />engineered embankment. Thus, these potential maintenance issues are not considered problems. <br />This report meets the requirements of Rules 4.05.9(14) and 4.05.9(17). Thank you for your submittal. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Robert Zuber, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />(303) 866-3567, ext. 8113 <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Denver • Grand Junction • Durango Active and Inactive Mines
