Mineral County. CO -Lower Tailings Pond Remediation Summary <br />Report <br />Dear Mr. Sorenson: <br />As discussed and agreed in our meeting in your offices on April 24, 1996, enclosed please find <br />one (1) copy of a report prepared by P.M. De Dycker, Associates regarding documentation of <br />seepage remediation activities undertaken in the early 1980's on the project lower tailings pond <br />facility. Please note that I have taken the liberty of providing D. Holmer of the Water Quality <br />Control Division a copy as well, pursuant to earlier conversations with WQCD. <br />During the meeting, it was agreed that the summary report has adequatey addressed several <br />items (as detailed on page 2 of the report), that were identified in our meeting in early January, <br />1996. More specifically, items #1,2,and 3 are deemed to be addressed in sufficient detail, <br />however, more information is needed to address the issues raised by items # 4 and 5 (water <br />sources that may be potentially affected by seepage and upgradient and downgradient ground- <br />waterquality at the Upper and Lower tailings facilities). <br />We will be developing a proposal in the near future to address the remaining two issues which <br />will address the issue of whether the reclaimed tailings facilities have the potential to impact <br />current or future beneficial uses of ground-water. <br />Please call if you have any questions after review of the report. I look forward to further <br />communications and will contact you for arranging a meeting when we have a set of proposal <br />options developed for consideration. <br />Very Truly Yours, <br />~9~r~ <br />cc: D.
