Coal Basin Mine Site. <br /> Deer Ms. Nelson: <br /> MrW-Continent Resources has received the Amendnrent No. 1 to Permit Co-0000396►which <br /> allows a use of monitoring frequencies at various outfalls at the amine site, in order to <br /> conserve funds for maintenance and reclamation activities- We appreciate Your <br /> oonsidenxtion of our request, and the amendment- <br /> In keeping with the objectives of the amendment, I make the further request that Mk!- <br /> Continent be relieved of the obligation imposed by the Order, issued February 22, 1989, <br /> which required weekly sampling of both inflows to and flaws TSS to 016 theirrtluent$. Since that <br /> , and Flaw, <br /> time, Mid-Continent has taken weekly SaMP1e8 of flaw and in flaw, <br /> TSS and Iron from the effluent. That daft collected indicates seasonal variations <br /> and that TSS and iron are consistently law. We do not believe that the purpose for which <br /> the order was issued, namely to determine solids loading to the ponds, continues as a <br /> relevant concem under the present oi 0.e., cessation of mining). <br /> Also,we did dean the uppermost pond in the fall-of 1995, to remove those sediments which <br /> had accumulated at the conclusion of mining. Phase advise me if You would Ike additional <br /> information in support of this request. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Diane Delaney <br /> Mid-continent Resources, Inc. <br /> cc: Steve Renner`, DMG <br /> Kathleen Sullivan <br />
