Thanks On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 11:11 AM, Robin wrote: The design plans that he sent me were from 1993, I have attached them to this email and these are the same ones that you and I looked at in your office last week. One set shows plans for a typical drop structure on the B-North Haul Road and the other is the plan and profile of the B-North haul road, the B-North haul road plan and profile does not show any drop structure between Pond and the Bridge going over LaParita creek. I've looked both documents over and have yet to find any mention of the where the drop structure is to be located. That is what I'm having trouble with, shouldn't the locations of any drop structures be shown on the plan and profile drawing or was this drop structure just built because they had a problem with runoff from the B-North Haul road. As you and I discussed it's a bad place for a drop structure without room for a supporting structure to hold the sediment. So here's my question to you, I have no doubt that the drop structures installed were designed for somewhere on the B-North Haul road, but does a drop structures location on a primary road have to be shown on a map or can the mining company just put one in where they see the need as long as it is built to a typical design, or is there an approval letter somewhere granting them permission to install the drop structure where it is installed?

I visited with Barry about the design plans for the Drop Structure and he said he sent a scanned copy to you a while back. I can have him send another one if you don?t have it, just let me know. I will try to give you a call sometime after lunch, as this next meeting is scheduled for a couple of hours. Robin L. Surface Mining Reclamation Specialist US.

Sent: Monday, September 26, 2016 12:16 PM To: Adam Krabbenhoft Subject: San Miguel New Pond Adam We have a drop structure off our haul road that allows water to drain off the permit boundary towards La Parita Creek. Lately, the runoff has contained excessive sediment and we have had a couple of occurrences where sediment has left the permit boundary. To remedy this situation, we are proposing to construct a new haul road pond where the drop structure is located to improve the capture of sediment. Attached is a conceptual layout of the pond. Since the permit boundary runs along the haul road in this location, we will need to expand the permit boundary to incorporate the disturbance area needed to construct the pond. Because of this, an IBR will be needed. Can you let me know what tasks I need to complete to provide you everything you need to approve an Thanks Dave Burris Reclamation Permitting San Miguel Electric Cooperative, Inc. P.O.

Subject: FW: BN-2 Drop Structure Meeting Denny, This email is a follow up to San Miguel?s meeting with Staff on Wednesday, 10/12/16. In this meeting, San Miguel also submitted a brief history of the BN-2 drop structure and a preliminary management plan in the form of a letter. Since the Wednesday meeting, San Miguel has reworked the sediment control at the drop structure; attached are pictures of this recent cleanout and the way the sediment control looks today. As we discussed in the meeting, SM EC is preparing an incidental boundary revision (IBR) that will incorporate the area necessary to construct a sedimentation pond to replace the current sediment control. Also attached is the BN-Z Action Plan and Checklist. The Action Plan outlines the steps that will be taken in the field to ensure that the sedimentation structure functions properly until the pond is constructed and certified. The checklist will serve as documentation of the condition of the structures after rainfall events. One item that was noted in the meeting was SMEC did not notify Inspection Staff when repairs were made in response to inspection reports. In the future, SMEC will make it a practice to inform Staff what has been done to respond to items noted in inspections. Our records show work was done on the BN-2 drop sedimentation structure by Kiewit and other contractors on July 27, 2015; January 29, 2016; March 10, 2016; July 21, 2016; August 3, 2016; September 27, 2016; October 11, 12 and 13, 2016. Photographs ofthe October 11, 12 and 13 repairs are attached, as mentioned above. As discussed with your Staff on Wednesday, SMEC will host an on-site review of the IBR package prior to submittal so that Staff can tour the area that will be impacted by the revision. Our target is to have this pre-submittal meeting in mid?November. If you have any questions, please feel free to call. Thank you for your time and consideration of this matter.

He will notify the superintendent if inclement weather is forecast. A pre-weather inspection will be conducted, including all of the items in the BN-Z checklist The superintendent on duty or the field engineer (is present) will observe the runoff during the rainfall event to see how the structure is performing. Photograph if safely possible. After the rainfall event, the BN-2 Checklist will be completed by the Kiewit field engineer. Within 48 hours of completion of the post-rainfall checklist, there will be a meeting between SMEC and Kiewit to evaluate the function of the structure and a plan, with a timeline, for completing any improvements or maintenance necessary. All post-rainfall meetings will be documented, including attendees, all checklists will be saved, all improvements or maintenance will be tracked, photographed and documented. 10/14/16
