III IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII <br />999 <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />Roy Romer, Gove <br />DEPARTMENT OFNATURAL RESOURCES <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />FRED R. BANTA, Dlreetor <br />August 22, 1988 <br />Mr. James Stover <br />Blue Ribbon Coal Company <br />743 Horizon Drive, Suite 205 <br />Grand Junction, CO 81506 <br />Re: Transmittal of Inspection Report <br />C-81-047, Blue Ribbon Mine <br />Dear Mr. Stover: <br />I am enclosing the inspection report for Blue Ribbon as well as the <br />termination notice for NOV C-88-023. The work appeared to fulfill the <br />reouirements of the abatement. However, to maintain an institutional record <br />of the work which was done at the site, please submit a figure documenting the <br />depth, length and slope of the drain and their relationship to one another as <br />well as their location with respect to the existing east-west drain on the <br />north end of the beach, within thirty days. Appropriate completion of this <br />project includes seeding this fall. <br />The access road work appears to have resolved one problem while creating <br />several others. Work performed on the west side of the road has resulted in a <br />non-draining trench. We are concerned that water will collect there, saturate <br />the base of the road fill and result in instability of the road. During our <br />phone conversation on August 22, 1988, we discussed some alternatives which <br />could be used ranging from drainaoe to pond ooZ to establishment of a <br />filtration trap within a small area exemption. Please submit a plan to <br />stabilize the side slopes and eliminate the ponding problem by September 6, <br />1988, and a schedule to perform the work by September 30, 1988. <br />Sincerely, <br />Catherine W.
