III IIIIIIIIIIIII III 999 GREG LEWICKI AND ASSOCIATES MAR 19 1993 March 18, 1993 Randy Price Colorado Division of 1313 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203 Division of Minerals 8 ueoiogy Minerals and Geology 2nd Floor 7645 Court Place Suite 309 l>enver, Cobrado 60202 Phone/FAX (~) 629-9335 Re Violation for Missing Reports- Apex #2 Sunland Mining Corporation Dear Randy: After I found out that a violation had been issued at the Apex #2 Mine for lack of third and fourth quarter sediment pond inspections and the updated insurance certificate in the public file, I contacted Jim Hunter of Oak Creek and he personally found the missing materials in an unrelated folder also located in the box at Hovi Sales in Oak Creek. I received a fax letter from Jim Hunter which outlines this fact. As you are aware, I have discussed all NPDES reports, sediment pond inspections and other data which are required in the public file. I can assure you that the material was sent to the public file before the deadline dates. For this reason, I would like to pursue the vacation of the violation. However, this entire incident raises the question of the reliability of Hovi Sales as a secure location for the storage of the files. Hovi Sales is basically an auto parts business that is not particularly concerned with the Apex #2 files. It is questionable that data for the public file sent by mail is guaranteed to be put into the file. Therefore, I propose that the public file be moved to the County Building in Steamboat Springs, where other mines in the area have their public files located. Although this is also no guarantee of reliability, it is definitely a better location. Also, I propose that Sunland will keep a separate three-ring binder with all sediment pond inspection reports, NPDES reports, water monitoring data and any other ongoing inspections, etc. which may be needed. Thanks. Sincerely yours, ~~ 0~-L` Greg(Lewicki Greg Lewicki and Associates
