Watcher <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Re: Trapper Mine, C-81-010, First Quarter 2003 Sediment Pond Inspection Reports <br />Deaz Mr. Mattern: <br />The Division has reviewed Trapper Mining Inc.'s Flrst Quarter 2003 Sediment Pond Inspection reports. <br />TMI's first quarter 2003 sediment pond reports were received by the Division, on February 28, 2003. <br />Timely submittal of these reports is incompliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). Sediment pond inspections <br />were conducted by TMI between Januazy 20, 2003 to January 22, 2003 <br />Sediment levels for many of the ponds were unreported due to snow and ice cover in the ponds. <br />A vertical face noted on the upstream bank of East Pyeatt No. 3 pond. This damage is attributed to <br />cattle grazing and should be corrected during the spring of 2003. SA vertical face on the embankment <br />of Elk No. 1 is noted in the report with corrective measures to be enacted during 2003 construction <br />season. TMI did not supply a sediment pond inspection report for Middle Flume No. 3 pond for fourth <br />quarter 2002. TMI stated that this pond was accidentally overlooked and submitted an inspection for <br />this pond dated January 21,2003. This inspection for this individual Bond cannot suffice for both 4th <br />quarter 2002 and fast quarter 2003. Another inspection should have been conducted on Middle Flume <br />#3 during first quarter 2003. <br />Thank you for the timely submittal of these reports. <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet B s <br />Enviro ental Protection Specialist <br />C:/jhb/C81010/Sediment Pond Inspection/2003 first q.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />
