Kubic <br /> November 8, 1995 <br /> V. PUBLIC NOTICE COMMENTS <br /> No written comments were received during the public comment period. A concerned citizen living in the vicinity of the mine <br /> sue was contacted by the Division about this amendment. He expressed verbal comments of a more general nature. His <br /> comments centered on his position that the Division or another independent authority not related to the permittee should be <br /> monitoring the discharges and the receiving stream, Coal Creek, on a routine basis. I indicated that the Division does not <br /> have sufficienr budget for this monitoring and therefore cannot perform this monitoring. The NPDES nationwide and CDPS <br /> Colorado discharge permit programs are based on trust. There are several checks in the system that would tend to indicate <br /> if monitoring results were not entirely accurate for any reason. <br /> The citizen indicated that he would submit his comments in written font. However, stone have been received after <br /> approximately 30 clays. Since no comments have been received in a timely manner and the expected comments are not <br /> directly related to this amendment, the Division is proceeding to issue the amendment unchanged. If the citizen submits his <br /> comments, the Division will respond to them appropriately at that time. <br /> Jon C. Kubic <br /> January 31, 1996 <br />
