Walther <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W. Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division has reviewed Trapper Mining Int.'s First Quarter 2003 Sediment Pond Inspection reports. <br />TMI's second quarter 2003 sediment pond reports were received by the Division, on June 26, 2003. <br />Timely submittal of these reports is in compliance with Rule 4.05.9(17). Sediment pond inspections <br />were conducted by TMI between May 30, 2003 to June 24, 2003 <br />Sediment levels for many of the ponds were reported. No Name #2 is reported as containing 50% <br />sediment. 60% sediment indicates the pond needs sediment cleanout. TMI should evaluate this pond <br />and consider cleanout during favorable weather. Maintenance is still needed on East Pyeatt No. 3 pond <br />to correct steepening of the embankment inslope. Numerous sediment mazkers were noted as not <br />located. TMI indicates the sediment level markers will be replaced in the appropriate ponds. No serious <br />structural concerns were identified by the operator for any of the ponds. TMI needs to continue to <br />attend to the maintenance items identified during the second quarter 2003 sediment pond inspection. <br />Thank you for the timely submittal of these reports. <br />Janet 'nns __ <br />Enviro en Protecti n Specialist <br />C:/jhb/C81010/Sediment Pond Inspection/2003 second q.doc <br />Cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
