Dept. of Natural Resources WATER GUAtIT <br /> Permits Se 'IWO <br /> Ronald G. Schuyler <br /> Water Quality Control Division <br /> Colorado Department of Health <br /> 4210 East llth Avenue <br /> Denver, CO 80220 <br /> r <br /> RE: CDPS Permit No. 0-0000396 Pitkin County <br /> Dear Mr. Schuyler: <br /> Enclosed are the facts concerning the incident reported at <br /> our mine on May 3, 1984 . Also enclosed are two letters, <br /> one from the Soil Conservation Service and the second from <br /> the U. S. Forest Service. Both show extremely high moisture <br /> on and in the ground (19 to 20 year high) . This high moisture <br /> contributed to slumps and slides in areas previously stable. <br /> In the case of the May 3 incident a small area above our main <br /> diversion ditch slid into the ditch partially blocking the <br /> ditch. The water level rose in the ditch and started perco- <br /> lating thrdugh the upper edge of the ditch. As it had not <br /> breached the ditch this condition was not noticed. The <br /> following steps were mmediately taken: <br /> 1. On May 3, 1984 the ditch and slump were cleared and <br /> the discharge stopped. <br /> 2. The entire length of the ditch was increased in <br /> capacity. <br /> 3. The ditch i now inspected on a weekly basis. <br /> We would request at this time to add the name of Douglas W. <br /> Bowman as an alternative registered agent for Mid-Continent <br /> Resources, Inc. at the address below. It would expedite matters <br /> greatly if I would receive a copy of any Notice of Violation. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this <br /> matter. <br /> Si <br /> ncerely, <br /> tz_') <br /> Douglas W. Bowman <br /> Environmental Coordinator <br /> P. 0. Box 158 <br /> Carbondale, CO 81623 <br /> GWB:rm <br />
