It is a copy of the MSD Sheet for the flocculent <br />used by the company in their coal fine slurry. Twe nt ymile Coal Co has sent a copy of this <br />MSD sheet to Bi11 Atkinson, an aquatic biologist with the Colorado Division of Wildlife's <br />Steamboat Springs office. It is my understanding that Mr. Atkinson will be at the mine <br />some time today. <br />I am also anticipating an e-mail from Twentymile Coal Co that will contain info from the <br />flocculent manufacturer regarding the potential impacts to aquatic life from the <br />flocculent. According to Twentymile Coal, the manufacturer has indicated that the <br />flocculent will have no impacts to aquatic life. I will forward this e-mail to you as <br />soon as I receive it. <br />Finally, I anticipate receiving an e-mail from Twentymile Coal Co with a pdf of a map <br />showing the distance between the point where the coal fines entered Foidel Ck to the <br />nearest downstream domestic and irrigation water users (according to Jerry Nettleton with <br />the coal company, the distance between the discharge and the nearest domestic and <br />irrigation water users along the streams is about six miles). I will forward this e-mail <br />to you as well. <br />Twentymile Coal Company is requesting a bit of relief on our directions to notify all <br />users from the point of discharge to just above the confluence of Trout Creek and the <br />Yampa River. They have indicated verbally that flow in Foidel Creek is so low at this <br />time of year that there are reaches in Foidel Creek, between the point of discharge and <br />the confluence of Foidel Creek with Middle Creek (the first stream that Foidel Creek <br />merges with), where flow is not occurring. I have asked Byron Walker, our inspector at <br />the mine, to verify this. It is possible we may revise this one particular direction, <br />pending further field investigation. <br />Thanks for your assistance, <br />Dan <br />-----Original Message----- <br />From: Scott Klarich [mailto:Scott.Klarich@state.co.us] <br />Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 10:00 AM <br />To: Dan Hernandez <br />Subject: Re: FW: Twentymile Coal Company, Sedimentation Pond E - Unanticipated Coal Fines <br />Discharge <br />Thanks Dan - Your response expectations seem very appropriate.
