Dept.of Natural Resources Denver, Colorado 80203 Re: Coal Basin Mines Permit C-017-81 Condition No. 3 : Certification of Sediment Ponds Dear Mr. Herron: This letter attests to the certification of our sediment pond as being built as designed. There have been several changes and modifications to the original design by Fleming in 1978 . Please refer to enclosed Table II-B-App. 7, Att . 3-4 Revised Sedimentation Capacities-- 1982 and Physical Survey of Sediment Ponds , Nov. 1983 update. I believe a brief explanation might be in order concerning each pond. 001 PREP PLANT 3 . 89 ACRES. 'With the reconstruction of the access road with rock and gravel and installation of the new 1811 steel connecting pipe between ponds 2 and 3 , we believe this system will be in excellent working order . The impact of the new bin transfer point on this system will be very small because the site is small and is mostly rock and gravel . 006 REFUSE S . 0. 25 ACRES. This pond was deepened and enlarged in October, 1983 and the entire area above it , up to the conveyor belt , was re-seeded and mulched, including the road. With a good growing season in 1984 the area above this pond will be 100 percent revegetated. 007 REFUSE N. 1 . 39 ACRES. This pond was completely dug out in October, 1983 and even tough it is slightly smaller than ori- ginally constructed ( . 16 acre) , it is in series with 009, which is some 1. 83 acres larger than design. The area above 007 will be topsoiled, seeded and mulched, 100 percent , in 1984 .
