Long <br /> Division Duccbr <br /> <br />Re: Exceedence of a Permit Condition, SF-1 Point of Compliance, San Luis Project, M-88-112 <br />Deaz Mr. Zumwalt: <br />As you reported, manganese levels in the SF-1 monitoring well exceeded the allowed permit <br />condition value of .OS mg/1 dissolved manganese in three recent samples. The Jupe 30, 2000 <br />quarterly sample measured 0.111 mg/1 dissolved manganese. The August 7, 2000 first <br />verification sample measured 0.135 mg/I dissolved manganese and the second verification <br />sample collected on August 24, 2000 measured 0.132 mg/1 dissolved manganese. <br />Pursuant to TR-15, if monitoring of any parameter shows levels outside of the Permit Condition <br />Values, and verification samples also show results outside of the Permit Condition Values, <br />BMRI will submit to the Division, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the final verification <br />sample analysis, a specific response plan, including a schedule for the implement[ition of the <br />plan. However, the plan will not be implemented until BMRI obtains Division approval. <br />Also, pursuant to TR-15, if both verification samples lie outside of the Permit Condition values, <br />the Division may notice BMRI of a possible violation of that condition of its perrttit. The <br />decision to send BMRI a notice of violation will be made in the near future. <br />L` you have any questions, please give me a call. <br />Sincerely, <br />ames Dillie <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Michael B.
