The <br />Division's decision on TR -95 is pending answers to several questions (italicized in this <br />letter). The first four headings correspond to the comment numbers in previous adequacy <br />letters. Several items may warrant further discussion via teleconference or a face -to -face <br />meeting. Please contact me regarding this option. <br />COMMENT #1 (from 1/22/2013 letter written by the Division) <br />The Division recognizes that Colowyo is not requesting changes to the curve numbers in <br />the SEDCAD hydrologic model for areas reporting to the Prospect Pond; Colowyo is <br />only requesting changes to curve numbers for other areas of the mine site. In the <br />adequacy response letter of December 13, 2012, Colowyo states that, "The issues <br />encountered within the Prospect Drainage have been unique to the Prospect Drainage and <br />are not applicable across the balance of the mining operation." Please elaborate on what <br />makes Prospect unique. <br />A mining property of Western Fuels- Colorado, A Limited Liability Company <br />
