MAR ~ 4 204 <br />Mr. Means: Division of Miaerv > > .., _. ,,, <br />The following is my response to items 1 & 2 noted on page 4 of the D.M.G ins inr, <br />resort dated January 29`h, 2004 at the above referenced location. <br />Item 1. Erosion on established slopes. <br />United Companies has taken the following steps to reduce-possibly eliminate future <br />erosion along the north slope of the pit. We dressed up the berm along the south side of <br />the equipment storage yard. We determined the best location and installed a valley pan <br />type catch basin inlet and downdrain at that location. (photo 1) This downdain outlet <br />discharges into the existing dewatering trench. We filled in eroded areas of this slope <br />with additional material. (photo 2) Discussion of seeding of this area is taking place. <br />Item 2. Improper storage of hazardous materials & some soil contamination. <br />United Companies relocated the 55 gallon containers inside the secondary containment. <br />(photo 3) The 5 gallon containers were removed from the site to the shop for recycling <br />use or proper disposal. The small amount of contaminated soil was removed and placed <br />at our recycle asphalt pile location. Additional base and screened rock was placed in this <br />area. (photo 4) <br />I believe United Companies has corrected these items. Let me know if you have any <br />questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />i..~~- ~~°~.~stin~ <br />Brent Kerr <br />Resource Manager <br />
