Lochhead <br />Executive Director <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Director <br />Recently, your office may have received a copy of a letter sent to our offices from <br />Mr. Ronald J. Forlina with the Colorado Department of Health (copy enclosed). In this letter, <br />dated August 8, 1994, Mr. Forlina provided some suggestions on how our Division could proceed <br />with determining whether or not the coal situated at the Linden Avenue Loadout could be found <br />suitable for disposal within a Colorado Lwdfill. ` <br />Our Division wishes to dispose of this material at the landfill closest to the loadout area, which <br />would be the City of Trinidad's landfill. In accordance with Mr. Forlina's Suggestion No. 5, we <br />would like to know if the analytical procedures suggested by the Colorado Department of Health <br />are adequate to determine whether the material at the Linden Avenue Loadout could be disposed of <br />at the City of Trinidad's landfill. <br />We would also like to know whether the City of Trinidad would require testing for any <br />constituents other than those identified in the Health Department's letter. <br />Finally, we would like to know what other approvals our office needs to obtain from the City of <br />Trinidad for disposal of this material at the city's landfill. <br />Thank you for your assistance. We're grateful for your office's help in the preparation of this <br />project. A response at your earliest convenience is appreciated. <br />Sincerely, <br />GG~~~~ <br />Daniel~aridez <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />DIH/bjw <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Wally Erickson, DMG~,~ <br />Jim McArdle, DMG <br />Rich Babnick <br />m:\oss\bjw\dih <br />
