Thompson : <br /> Doug Bowman has provided me with certain pertinent <br /> information concerning the foregoing notice of violation , the <br /> notice itself and the enclosed precipitation report for the <br /> month of September , 1986 , and he has asked that I forward this <br /> data to you with our comments and observations . <br /> The enclosed September , 1986 report indicates that the <br /> total precipitation for the entire month was 8 . 13 inches -- <br /> four times " typical " monthly precipitation levels . Of this <br /> total , 5 . 54 inches occurred during the September 21 through 26 , <br /> 1986 period (Sunday through Friday) . <br /> The 100 -year / 24-hour precipitation event for the mine <br /> area is 3 . 4- inches according to published sources . <br /> We believe these large amounts of moisture caused the <br /> main surface of the refuse pile to become saturated . This <br /> then , in turn , cause large amounts of sheet-runoff across the <br /> top and outslopes of the refuse pile . <br />
