SHELTON, Director <br />DATE: February 2, 1987 <br />T0: Trinidad Basin Mine, NOV File <br />FROM: Michael Long <br />RE: EXTENSION OF ABATEMENT <br />This memo is to document the rationale for extension of abatements for the <br />following NOV's C-86-073, C-86-068 and C-86-069 <br />Notice of Violation C-86-073 was issued for failure to provide documentation <br />of monitoring data and failure to maintain ground water monitoring well W-1. <br />The operator has stated that he does have the monitoring information and that <br />it was to be filed with the Division by his consultant. He further stated he <br />would supply the information but it would take more time than originally <br />anticipated because his consultant has been relieved of his duties. In <br />addition, he stated he would be out to repair the damaged well in January. <br />Notice of Violation C086-068 was issued for failure to clean sediment Pond No. <br />15-P20. During the course of an inspection in early December the pond was <br />frozen over and snow covered. At this time it would be extremely difficult to <br />clean the pond given weather conditions. <br />Notice of Violation C-86-069 was issued for failure to repair and/or stabilize <br />rills and gullies in the Pit No. 2, cut 4/5 area. Inspectors were not able to <br />check the status of the violation in early December due to weather conditions. <br />There is no mining occurring on the site at this time. The site has been <br />reclaimed and is in the maintenance mode. In addition, there is no one on <br />site to perform routine maintenance. Based on present weather conditions and <br />to allow the operator time to collect monitoring information discussed above <br />the abatement for the above mentioned violations is being extended. <br />/vj r <br />7225E <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel.
