CO BW87 Pnona (]03) 87FJ800 ~c, ~C1 rr RF~gM lqT o ~~09 N ~~V ~~~OH loav Report (1988): Colorado Yampa Coal Company (CYCC) is responding to your letter of July 13, 1989 in the order it was presented. Data Omissions Spoil Springs - As discussed during our telephone conversation of July 11, 1989, it appears that the spring located below the Homestead Ditch at Mine 3 South was missed during the 1988 Spring survey. The spring was flowing (less than 35 g.p.m.) during July of 1989, and both CMLRD and CYCC collected a sample. It is our understanding that the CYCC results will be submitted, and that future surveys will include this spring if it is flowing at the time of the survey. As discussed during our telephone conversation of July 11, 1989 and followed up by letter on July 13, 1989. The following information is provided to clarify the suggested data omissions. The May 1988 Spring survey was conducted from May 17 through May 27 at Mines 1, 2, 3, Eckman Park, and Fish Creek Tipple. The survey's emphasis is on springs which have measurable flow. Not every spring which is dry or has insignificant flow is noted each year. Spring M3-87-2 was dry in May 1988 and was not included in the survey. Results obtained from spring M3-87-2 split sampling by the CMLRD/CYCC in July 1988 will be included in the 1989 Annual Hydrologic Report for Mine 3. Spring M3-87-2 was not flowing during the May 1989 Spring survey but will be input and will be found in the 1989 Third Quarter Hydrology Report and the 1989 Annual Hydrology Report for Mine 3. ~~us
