III IIIIIIIIIIIII III 999 STATE OF COLORADO Roy Romer, Governor -..~. - DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION FRED R. BANTA, Director DATE: January 25, 1989 •~ - T0: Jim Stevens FROM: Candy Thompson V RE: East side Coal Mine, C-84-063, Mine Status The midterm review has been completed at this mine site, During this review, a four foot of cover variance was issued to the mine site for the refuse area. The permit expires on January 13, 1990. The notification date for permit expiration is April 18, 1989. Tne mine contact is Steven Self or Linda Limbach. Linda acts as the general office manager, secretary, vegetation specialist, and hydrologist. The records are kept in good shape at the mine office. The mine is presently inactive, The parent company has shown interest in a co-generation power plant located in the valley that would run off of the coal from the mine. To date, I know of no formal permitting actions that have occurred for this cogeneration plant. The operator has been informed that the ditches surrounding the approved refuse area were designed fora 10-year event instead of the required 100-year event. The refuse area has not been constructed, therefore only the designs need to be modified. Tne operator has also discussed witn me the possibility of placing refuse at the head of the Harvey Gulch just below the Grass Yalley reservoir. No formal pursuit of this action has occurred to date. The mine has no loadout and if truck transport is required, on site loading is done with a front end loader. No particular inspection problems are present on site. Previously, the operator was samewhat sloppy with oil and grease. However, in the last two years no spillage has occurred. 2834E 215 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203-2273 Tel. (303) 866-3567
