Re: Ground Water Discharge Permit No. UGW370004, White Mesa Mill
Dear Mr. Finerfrock:
ln response to the September 2,2005letter from Johnathan Cook, I am encloslng a copy
of the site contour map of the Roberts Pond area. The activities covered by the June 10,
2005 As-Built Report for Roberts Pond covered the removal of the old liner from the
pond and installation of the new HDPE liner. The Pond had been in existence since the
original construction of the White Mesa Mill and the earthwork activities creating the
Pond were monitored during the original earthwork construction lrl-1979. The recent
activities did not alter the configuration of the Pond except for minor re-grading
necessary for the HDPE liner installation.
If you require any additional information on the Report, please feel free to contact me.
Very truly yours,za*w
