Monte Pascoe, Executive Director <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel. (303) 866-3567 <br />David C. Shelton <br />Director <br />~: Sandy Emrich <br />FROM: Jerry Zimpfer/,(7~ <br />RE: Foidel Creek Underground Mine, Response to Completeness Review <br />DATE: October 19, 1982 <br />I have reviewed Colorado Yampa Coal Company's (CYCC) response to our <br />September completeness review. Items 3, 4, and 5 in the October 15th <br />letter from CYCC to Dave Shelton address the issues that I identified. <br />The applicant's responses are sufficient to make these items complete. <br />However, I am somewhat concerned with the applicant's reliance upon <br />published U. S.G.S. data for their spring survey. Normally, such studies <br />are not as intensive as those survey's performed by the applicant's <br />themselves. In addition, one water quality sample for each of the two <br />springs identified is not sufficient to show the seasonal variations in <br />water quantity and quality. Although the information provided minimally <br />addresses the requirements of the regulation, it may not be adequate to <br />complete oui technical findings. At a minimum, the Division should require <br />that the applicant perform his own spring survey as a stipulation to the <br />findings document. <br />We should discuss this issue and how it has been handled with other <br />operations at tomorrow's meeting. <br />/ep <br />cc: Ed Bischoff <br />Jim Pendleton <br />Dave Craig <br />
