I have been made aware of the existence of the structure and diversion. No further <br />action is necessary at this time. <br />From: Mike Thompson fmailto:mtareardonsteei.usj <br />Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 3:32 PM <br />To: Titus, Jeff <br />Subject: sedimentation pond near Silverton <br />Hi Jeff - <br />Thanks for taking my call today. <br />The following is a summary of our phone call: <br />Running Sun Advisory Services has submitted an application for mineral exploration with the Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety. The <br />exploration site is called the Oyama Tunnel and is located at an elevation of 12,100 adjacent to Stony Pass in eastern San Juan County. The <br />Oyama Tunnel was last active in the mid -1980s and has a pre - existing discharge with continuous flows of - 20gpm. From the tunnel portal <br />these flows are directed into a bermed channel that leads to a shallow sedimentation pond, also constructed in the 1980s. The pond then <br />has a reinforced low -point in its dam where water continuously flows out. The purpose of the pond is to allow suspended solids to fall out of <br />solution before the flows reach the receiving drainage (Stony Gulch), <br />The pond is oval shaped, with a long dimension of - 115 feet and a short dimension of - 45 feet, and has an average depth of "3 feet. Using <br />these dimensions results in maximum holding capacity of 107,000 gallons if the pond were a perfect rectangle, which it is not. <br />After reviewing our application, DRMS has asked that we verify with CDWR that we do not need to secure water rights for use of the pond. <br />Please let me know your thoughts. <br />Thanks, <br />Mike <br />Mike Thompson <br />REARDON STEEL LLC <br />18050 Road G, Cortez, Colorado 81321 <br />Office: (970) 565 0278 <br />Cell: (970) 426 -2924 <br />mt @reardonsteel.us <br />1 <br />
