RE: Coi asin l B nvironmental Site Assessment
De s:
The Division of Minerals and Geology (Division) has received and
reviewed your April 2, 1997 correspondence regarding the comments
and concerns of the Department of Public Health and Environment
pertaining to the Coal Basin environmental site assessment. The
Division would like to take this opportunity to discuss your
concerns, and recommend courses of action which our agencies could
follow to resolve potential problems at Coal Basin in a coordinated
manner.
As you may recall, Mid-Continent Resources (Resources) liquidation
plan contains an account dedicated to resolution of environmental
considerations other than reclamation issues. Department of Public
Health and Environment has standing to request that environmental
funds be used to address its concerns. We recommend that Public
Health and Environment contact Resources directly to express its
concerns and to pursue appropriate resolution. If meetings between
your agency and Resources are held, we would like the opportunity
to attend. Further, it would be helpful if you would copy the
Division on any correspondence between Public Health and
Environment and Resources. This will promote interagency
coordination at this site.
Regarding your first comment, it is my understanding that Resources
consultant has recommended that the contaminated soils be excavated
and disposed of at an off-site location. I am unaware of a
commitment made on behalf of Resources to follow this recommended
course of action. As reclamation of the areas which contain the
contaminated soils is tentatively scheduled to occur in 1998, we
would recommend that any remediation be accomplished during the
summer of 1997.
Should Public Health and Environment determine that drill holes or
other means of obtaining subsurface samples are necessary, Minerals
