CO 81602 A* PH. 945-5375 Juiy 24, 1997 Donna Stoner, I-IMWMD Environmental Specialist Solid Waste Unit, Compliance Program State of Colorado 222 South 6Th Street, Room 232 Grand Junction, CO 81501-2768 RE: Notice of Violation letter dated June 30, 1998 Dear Ms. Stoner: In reply to the 1. Leachate As we both know, the Leachate problem has been on going. It is however, not uncontrolled. We have a small holding pond from where it evaporates. The engineered plan that has been approved by your office to control the leachate is at this time under construction. As for the "Discharge Permit", after application was made on June 7. 1994 , we received a letter by the State's Water Quality Control Division dated January 8, 1997, stating that information indicated there was no nccd for a CSPS discharge permit at that time. It was my understanding that this decision was made because of the intent to create an Engineered Leachate System. if you still feel that it is now necessary to obtain a permit, we will be happy to comply and start application. Please let us know, either by letter of telephone. 2. Working face too large. As you also noted in your report, we had blown the erg ne in our D-8 Dozer at the time of your inspection and were in the process of repair. This repair caused delays in daily coverage which have since been caught up. 3- Windblown trash. Again, because of getting behind in our daily cover it allowed for an excess of windblown trash. This will be more contained with us bringing the daily cover in line. Sincerely, j ,tom-''__ Tirnothyy Danner Manager, South Canyon Landfill cc: Mike Copp, City Manager, Glenwood Springs, Colorado MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FROM: MARK BEA�d� DATE: MARCH 3, 1999 RE: SOUTH CANYON LANDFILL CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION Garfield County conditionally approved a Certificate of Designation for the South Canyon landfill site on December 8, 1997.
