Re: New Horizon ine (C-81-008); Technical Revision No. 19
I have reviewed Western Fuels-Colorado's responses to the Division's adequacy concerns
dated August 22, 1994. This memo will refer to items numbered in accordance with the
Division's August 22, 1994 letter.
No. 1) Western Fuels references the "revamped Peabody reclamation only permit
application: Volumes C" as pertaining to soils and overburden information.
Attempting to use this reference Volume C, this volume pertains to hydrology
issues (Appendixes 7-7 through Exhibit 7-7). Please correct which volumes
do contain the desired soils and overburden information. Upon receipt of the
corrected text, this matter should be acceptable.
No. 2) Western Fuels supplied results of samples received at the CSU Soil, Water,
and Plant testing Lab on June 28, 1994. Results of samples taken in
September 1994 will be forwarded to the Division as well. This addresses
item no. 2. Additionally, page 2.05.4(2)(d)-3 details the parameters that will
be provided. The Division requests that since SAR results are a part of that
list that the individual components of SAR (Ca, Mg, and Na),results be
provided as well. ~2q~,~~cr)
No. 3) This reference to submittal of the Unsuitable Spoil information has been
reinstated into the permit text.
No. 4) The inclusion of "spoil stockpile area' has been reinserted into the appropriate
sentence on page 2.05.4(2}(d}-6.
No. 5) Page 2.05.4(2)(d)-10 does discuss approximate volumes and Map 2.05.4-4
designates spoil borrow area. Western Fuels states in the cover letter dated
September 9, 1994, that results of the September 1994 spoil borrow material
will be forwarded to the Division. Receipt of this information will satisfy this
item.
