Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />RE: Hayden Gulch Load Out, C1992-081, Fourth Quarter 2009 Pond Inspections and Annual Pond <br />Certification 2009 <br />Dear Mr. Jones: <br />The Division received Hayden Gulch Terminal, Inc.'s (HGTI) fourth quarter 2009 pond inspection report <br />for the Hayden Gulch Loadout (DRMS Permit No. C1992-081), on January 11, 2010. Two ponds exist on <br />the permit area, Truck Loop Pond (001A) and Rail Loop Pond (002A). Both the Truck Loop pond <br />(Outfall 001A) and the Rail Loop pond (Outfall 002A) were inspected by HGTI on October 19, 2009. <br />Neither of the ponds was discharging at the time of the inspection, and the Rail Loop Pond was dry. The <br />report recognizes that there still exists a slow seep in the headgate of the Truck Loop Pond (outfall 001 A). <br />HGTI personnel measured this seep at 0.06 gpm. This seep is not considered a problem at this time and <br />does not appear to impact the function of the pond. <br />HGTI also provided a copy of the Annual certification of impoundments, received on January 11, 2010. <br />The engineer's inspection was conducted on October 19, 2009. No problems or concerns were noted by <br />the engineer for either pond. These reports are in compliance with Rule 4.05.9(17) and Rule 4.05.9(14) <br />Sincerely, <br />Janet .
