Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division has received and reviewed BRL's June 2013 Discharge Monitoring Reports for the <br />Bowie No. 2 Mine; the DMRs are submitted to the Division monthly in accordance with Rule <br />4.05.13(2). The discharges reported for the ponds and sewage treatment plant were consistent <br />with Division observations of water levels and discharges, with two exceptions. <br />The DMR for Outfalls 003 (Pond D) and 004 (Pond F), indicate that there was no discharge from <br />either of these outfalls during the month of June. My June 25, 2013 inspection report notes <br />that both ponds were being cleaned at the time of the inspection. My recollection of our <br />conversation during the site inspection was that both ponds were dewatered prior to cleaning. <br />Further, the June 13, 2013 site report from J.E. Stover and Associates indicates that "Pond F has <br />been dewatered and sediment removal has begun." Please verify whether or not Ponds D and <br />F were discharged during the month of June. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan L.
