Welt <br /> West Elk Coal Company <br /> P.O. Box 591 <br /> Somerset, CO 81434 <br /> Re: WECC Lower Waste Pile Monitoring Reports - <br /> 3rd and 4th Quarter Reports, 1989: Mt. Gunnison No. 1 Mine, C-80-007 <br /> Dear Ms. Welt: <br /> The Division reviewed the two quarterly reports submitted by West Elk Coal <br /> Company. These reports contain both compaction test and surface stability <br /> monument survey results. In both cases the results appear acceptable. In <br /> both cases, the compaction testing, performed on September 27 , 1989 and <br /> November 14, 1989, determined that the waste was being compacted to <br /> specification. The survey results of both reports demonstrate that the facial <br /> slope of the waste pile remains stable. The only glitch appears to be an <br /> apparent 0.55 foot rise of monument B-8, between October and December of <br /> 1989. We believe this could plausibly be explained by shallow frost activity. <br /> If you have any questions , please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> A%, Matthew S: Ha. es <br /> Reclamation D ecialist <br /> t <br /> MSH/ern <br /> 4832F <br />
