Dear Mr. Crick:
DECLAMATION
Mid-Continent Resources wishes to submit information which we
believe bears on the facts and circumstances related to Notices of
Violation, C-90-001 and C-90-002 , which have been issued by
the Division to Mid-Continent. Mid-Continent requests
consideration by the Division of these factors , and that the
violations be vacated.
RE C-90-001
Technical Revision 4 , approved August 11, 1986, specifies sampling
of various parameters at various surface and groundwater monitoring
points during the peak and low flow seasons.
During June of 1989 , Mid-Continent did sample all surface and
groundwater monitoring points. At 10 groundwater sites, samples
were obtained without difficulty, with the sampling device
ordinarily used. This sampling device consists in part of a tube
which measures approximately 31in length.
Mid-Continent experienced difficulty in collection of the sample
from monitoring point GW-1. This monitoring point is a well
drilled beneath the Sutey refuse disposal area. A 3" wide plastic
PVC pipe extends approximately 60 ' from the top of the pile down
to the well. As the pile has increased, successive increments of
pipe have been added to allow continued sampling from this well.
As the pile is constructed, heavy equipment is utilized to spread
the refuse material so as to ensure stability in the pile. At some
point during pile construction, movement of the material caused a
bend in the pipe at a depth of approximately 25 to 301 .
During the June sampling, Mid-Continent personnel found that the
