I have finished my review of Cam Colorado LLC's responses, dated August 19, 2011, to the
Division's adequacy review letter dated August 10, 2011. All of my questions have been
answered satisfactorily except for nos. 13, 47 1), 47 4), 47 6) and 47 10). The following is the
status of my remaining questions and comments:
13. Rule 2.04.7(2)(a) requires that the baseline surface water data show seasonal variations
in the quantity and quality of the surface water. However, only two quarters of the
baseline surface water data are presented in Exhibit 3 of Volume II. Please submit
additional baseline surface water data in compliance with Rule 2.04.7(2)(a).
In Exhibit 3 of the submittal dated August 19, 2011, CAM provided three consecutive
quarters of baseline surface water monitoring data for the Lower Downstream Loma
Drain monitoring site. Please provide the third quarter 2011 data when obtained in order
to complete the baseline surface water data for this site.
15A. On page 2.05 -59 of the April 11, 2011 submittal, the first sentence states that the
Colorado River will not be monitored. Please correct this statement since the river is part
of the water monitoring program.
The Division has no further concerns. In the submittal dated August 19, 2011, page 2.05-
63 was revised to state that the Colorado River is not part of the long term hydrologic
monitoring program, but that baseline hydrologic data has been collected and that four
quarters of pre -bond release hydrologic data will be collected for the Colorado River.
47. Under Rule 2.05.3(3)(c) and referring to Map 16, "Loadout Facilities", please explain
why CAM has elected to make the entire railroad loop drainage report to sediment
ponds. It appears to the Division that the portion of the railroad loop not adjacent to the
loadout facilities disturbance could be considered as a haul road not in the disturbed
area as defined in Rule 4.05.2(4) and, therefore, falls under Rule 4.03.1(4)(iv), similar to
the situation with the railroad spur. If changes are made to the sediment control system,
please revise the discussions concerning the sediment control system found throughout
the permit application.
