Hickenlooper <br />Governor <br />Mike King <br />Executive Director <br />Loretta E. Pineda <br />Director <br />The Division has received and reviewed BRL's response to the Division's request for additional <br />information regarding the June 2013 Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for the Bowie No. 2 <br />Mine. <br />BRL verified that Ponds D and F were not discharged during June 2013, as documented in the <br />DMR. BRL further explained that Pond D was dewatered through evaporation and seepage, <br />and water from Pond F was pumped to Pond C. The response provided addressed our request <br />for information, and we have no further questions or concerns with the June 2013 report. BRL <br />should, however, remain cognizant of the maximum water and sediment levels for each pond <br />when pumping water between ponds so that available capacity for the design event is <br />maintained. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Susan L.
