We would like to emphasize our concerns regarding the continued delays in the clean-up process. We are disappointed that Paramount was able to substantially delay the implementation of a Statement of Work for the 1993 construction season and jeopardize remedial activities that need to be accomplished this season. It was especially disappointing to us that this delay occurred in spite of the fact that the EPA and the Colorado Department of Health, were in agreement regarding the remedial activities that should have been included in the Statement of Work, in February of 1993. The existing Consent Decree has been proven to be insufficient in many areas, as evidenced by the need for the water treatment plant, the lack of sufficient actions to deal with the waste rock piles and the recent positive affects of the Mine Draw-Down test. The fact that Paramount was able to successfully avoid implementation for the second year in a row also indicates to us that the enforcement mechanisms in the current Consent Decree are insufficient. While we continue to feel comfortable with the Colorado Department of Health remaining as the lead agency for day-to-day administration of clean-up activities, we believe that the enforcement procedures in the State's Consent Decree are too cumbersome. Because Paramount has demonstrated their willingness to use this loophole in the Consent Decree we feel that the EPA must retain effective enforcement authority and that the new Consent Decree must include provisions for stipulated penalties. In conclusion, we want to urge you to move forward with the implementation of the ROD so that Paramount will be able to be required to make full use of the construction season next summer. This is especially important because of the possibility that the Minturn Middle School will convert to year-round schooling beginning in July of 1994. We urge EPA to not compromise the cleanup measures and standards contained in the new ROD, including the ARAR for zinc that is so critical to the re-establishment of a viable Eagle River fishery. We very much appreciate your continuing efforts to implement their proposed ROD and your consideration of our concerns. Sincerely, Margaret A. Osterfoss Mayor cc: Ms. Carol Browner EAGLE ~I9iE]R ENITIRONIrIENTAL AID BUSINESS 1~LLIANCE ~/0 ~J1TH1CII1~ 1~.0. SOX 3933, 1tAIL, CO 01657, 303-470-0700 3C 551 September 7, 1993 The Eagle River Environmental and Business Alliance (EREBA) is an organization of citizens, local officials and business interests that are working for successful reclamation of the Eagle Mine Superfund Site. We are concerned that Paramount will protest the EPA Record of Decision (ROD) and three party Consent Decree. It is important that EPA, the Colorado Department of Health and Paramount know that we continue to be concerned about the progress of the cleanup. We would like to offer you our comments to the EPA in support of implementation of the changes in the Remedial Action Plan proposed by EPA and the need for EPA's continued involvement in the cleanup process, and urge you to do the same. The major objections Paramount has are to additional investigations regarding possible remedial measures for the `vasterock piles, the establishment of a more stringent zinc ARAR, and long-term groundwater extraction at the Consolidated Tailings Pile (CTP). With regard to the wasterock piles, the FSA concluded that up to 30 percent of the loading to the Eagle River originates from the wasterock piles and other sources in the Belden area. Grab samples taken in the spring of 1993 indicate metal concentrations of almost 400 mg/1 from the piles. EPA and the State have only recommended that more work be done to learn more about this source of heavy metals contamination. Regarding the zinc ARAR, the FSA concluded that the ARAR in the State's Consent Decree "is not sufficiently stringent to protect or promote a healthy trout population." (FSA, page 4-8) This is inconsistent with the remedial goal to "improve the quality of water in the Eagle River to the point that it will support a viable fishery." (FSA, page 4-27) Paramount's effort to retain an ARAB that is inconsistent with the success of the cleanup implies that they too have little confidence in the ultimate success of the consent Decree that is now in force. Paramount has been able to substantially delay the implementation of a Statement of Work for the 1993 construction season and thus avoid and further delay remedial activities that should be accomplished this season. Paramount has attributed this delay to their concern that EPA may require remedial actions that are inconsistent with those required by the State. However, since last February, EPA and the Colorado Department of Health were in complete agreement • regarding the remedial activities that should have been included in the Statement of Work (Enclosure, EPA letter). The fact that Paramount has been able to successfully avoid the implementation of important remedial activities for the second year in a row, indicates to us that the enforcement mechanisms in the currently effective Consent Decree are weak and insufficient. There are no provisions for stipulated penalties and any disagreements between the State and Paramount are subject to cumbersome arbitration and further court proceedings. While we continue to feel that the Colorado Department of Health should remain as the lead agency for day-today administration of cleanup activities, we feel that EPA must retain effective enforcement authority and that the new Consent Decree must include provisions for stipulated penalties. . 5T~.1 ~ of coLo~~o COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ,~~:~~~~o~.~~'p Dedicated to protecting and improving the heilth and ti~~>'$ environment of the people of Colorado O«~~ 4300 Cherry Creek Dr. 5.

NoLin, MO, MPH Executive Director Mr. Gene Taylor , Environmental Protection Agency 999 18th Street, Suite 500 Denver, CO 80202-2466 Re: Eagle Mine 1993 Construction Season (EAG 7.9) Dear Gene: This letter is to bring to your attention several concerns that I have identified related to the continuation of remedial actions at the Eagle Mine site under the Consent Decree (CD) between the State of Colorado and Paramount Communications, Inc. Paramount's consultant, Eagle Engineering Services, has indicated t~ Doug Ikenberry, On-Site Coordinator, that no construction activities are currently being planned for the upcoming 1993 construction season until the EPA Re.:ord of Decision (ROD) is issued. This action is presumed to be based on the uncertainty of Paramount implementing remedial actions required under the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) that may be "inconsistent" with the EPA ROD, duplication of remedial actions at the site, and, of course, additional capital construction costs. You have indicated that the current timetable for the ROD is to he signed by the Regional Administrator no later than March 31, 1993. I understand that EPA will then issue its CD to Paramount under a 60-day good faith response period. It will then be May 31, 1993. Another 60-day response period for discussions may then follow. It will then be July 30, 1993. This date is approximately 60 to 90 days into the 1993 construction season at the site. An almost identical loss of remedial construction time was observed during the 1992 construction season while Paramount was reviewing and commenting on the EPA Feasibility Stuciy Addendum (FSA) and Proposed Plan. A]though a small portion of significant remedial activities was accomplished by Paramount during the 1992 construction season, it was much less than what the State had anticipated would be completed last year. We realize the importance of the efforts that EPA has conducted at the Eagle Mine site to identify past prob]ems, and hope that EPA also realizes the importance of continuing with the present remedial actions required in the RAP that will implement a protective and permanent remedy at the site. My specific concerns related to the upcoming 1993 construction season are as follows: Mr. Gene Taylor February 10, 1993 2 Roaster Piles Preliminary soil sampling of the underlying soils in the Roaster Piles drainage has shown residual soils lead concentrations greater than 1000 mg/kg. This action level will require Paramount to either remove additional underlying soils and resample for lead, or cover with 12 inches of clean fill material. Soli pH sampling of this area has shown fairly low values that may require application of lime in 1993 in addition to the lime applied in previous years. The residual soil lead concentrations and low soil pH must be dealt with sequentially before vegetation establishment can proceed and become permanent. Access to the Roaster Piles area can only be accomplished when the Eagle River has receded from high spring flows which usually occurs in July. It will he very important that Paramount continue the required underlying soil treatment activities in a timely manner so that continuing revegetation activities can he implemented. We hope that EPA agrees with the need to pursue completion of the treatment of underlying soils and subsequent revegetation in the Roaster Piles drainage in 1993. Rex Flats Past underlying soil sampling results nave shown that low pH values remain in this area. Previous remedial activities have entailed applying lime where necessary, and allowing time for the soil pH to increase prior to conducting additional revegetation activities. These activities have resulted in limited increases of soil pH in some portions of the Rex Flats area. A delay in additional irncier(ying soil treatment activities until midsummer 1993 will decrease the chemical reaction -time available for the lime to raise the soil p:H to a value consistent with surrounding, undisturbed areas which will promote vegetation establishment. There is also at least one subarea where residual sail lead concentrations greater than 1000 mg/kg may not have been adequately addressed. Paramount's consultant has been informed of this observation and is checking site inspections for additional informations. We hope that EPA agrees with the need to pursue the timely completion of the treatment of underlying soils <tnc{ subsequent revegetation in the Rex Flats area in 1993. Old Tailings Pile/Pipeline Are<~ These two areas are similar to Rex Flats in that a delay in conducting additional underlying soil treatment activities may adversely affect the continuing revegetation efforts in these areas. Eagle Mine Workings At this time, we do not foresee any remedial activities involving the mine workings that may be delayed by Paramount. There may he activities that could be implemented Mr. Gene Taylor February 10, 1993 3 based upon the continuation of the Mine Draw Down test and the evaluation of that information related to mine seepage quantity, quality, and flow patterns and potential recharge reduction via the Liberty Mine workings. We hope that EPA agrees with the need to continue with current testing and evaluation efforts involving the mine workings in 1993. V~'aste Rock Piles The construction of the lower Rock Creek culvert has not been approved by the State to date. Conformance to the final approved plans and specifications may require excavation and repair of a segment of the 48-inch diamater culvert located immediately above the energy dissipation structure. Correction of this nonconformance is necessary before the resubmittal of the Construction Element Completion Form for State approval required under the RAP. Correction of this nonconformance by Paramount may be affected by the pending ROD and CD timetable of EPA. We have recently discussed this matter with Paramount's consultant and anticipate resolution during the 1993 construction season. We hope that EPA agrees with tl~e need to correct nonconformance items related to the lower Rock.Creek culvert in 1993. Consolidated Tailings Pile The Consolidated Tailings Pile (CTP) is the State's area of greatest concern with regards to outstanding remedial actions at tl~e site. Tl~e RAP requires Paramount to complete the reshaping of the CTP t>y October 30, 1993. This. requirement includes removal and relocation of all tailings material and contaminated soils to the CTP, and reshaping to achieve the final configuration of the pile. This requirement includes the removal of contaminated soil from the. Maloit Park wetlands area north of the CTP. EPA has expressed concerns about the potential effects to Cross Creek from any mitigation of the wetlands. The State and Paramount have delayed piny remedial actions in the area because of EPA's jurisdiction over wetlands mitigation at a Superfund site. The delay in conducting the RAP activities for the Maloit Park wetlands may affect Paramount's ability to comply with the ]ZAP schedule requirement noted above. We hope that EPA agrees that the Maloit Parlc wetlands should be mitigated soon so that the regrading of the l.1 t' be quickly compleaed to achieve the final configuration of the pile. The RAP also requires that capping the L 1 r be completed during the construction season following the year in which the design requirements for settlement (settlement analysis based on actual settlement and pore pressure measurements indicating that at least 90% of the settlement associated with material relocation ~tnd pile regrading has occurred) are met. It is ur?likely that the entire uncapped portion of the L 1 Y would meet this settlement criteria in 1993, but continued capping will need to begin prior to July to ensure completion 'before winter shutdown. We hope that EPA agrees that Mr. Gene Taylor February 10, 1993 4 reshaping, continuation of the t~cilings settlement process, and capping of the settled areas is a priority for the 1993 construction season. SIudge dewatering and disposal is another activity at the CTP that is being affected by the pending EPA ROD. Paramount's contractor, McLaughlin Water Engineers, has determined which sludge dewatering process is feasible for installation at the water treatment plant. Paramount has been reluctant to proceed with the acquisition and installation of the equipment until the ROD has been issued. The installation of this equipment was to have taken place during the winter of 1991-92, but was delayed pending the release of the FSA and Proposed Plan. Delays by Paramount to install and operate a sludge dewatering process only continues the deposition of wet sludge on top of the CTP. This action maintains the hydraulic gradient of contaminated ground water to the Eagle River. We will he conuT~entii~g on Paramount's consultant proposal for future sludge disposal at the CI"P very Soon. Our re~. iew of this flan has determined it is not technically adequate or appropriate for ne.cr-ter[7~ sludge eisposal at the CTP. Our comments to this plan and proposed recommendations will he forwarded to you upon completion. We hope EPA agrees that implementation of sludge dewatering and disposal is a priority for the 199 ~ construction season. Water Handling System An item that is closely related to the regrading and cappir~g,of the CTP is the permane;nt closure of the historic pond for use as a storage area[ for collected contaminated water sources at the site. The State has requested that Paramount evaluate the past 3 years of data concerning the volumes of contaminated water collected at the site to determine the amount of storage capacity necessary to handle this water. The primary concern will he to provide adequate storage during the spring runoff period. Storage of contaminated water in the historic pond at the CTP is n~~t acceptable because of the hydraulic gradient this produces which maintains contaminated ground water migration to adjacent surface waters. Additional lined storage capacity may he necessary if the current lined storage: ponds are not adequate to fully contain this volume of contaminated water. We hope that EPA agrees that the historic pond area must be permanently closed as a water storage area, and that additional lined storage capacity at the CTP may be necessary to accomplish this action. Additions and/or improvements to the mine seepage collection system is another area of remedial actions that may continue during the 1993 construction season. We would hope that EPA agrees with the need to continue collecting additional mine seepage where practicable, and implement improvements where current collection systems are not functioning as intended. The extraction of contaminated subsurface flows in the Rock Creek alluvium may become necessary haled on the evaluation of reduction of contaminant loading resulting from the Mine Draw Down test. Improvement of the Mr. Gene Taylor February 10, 1993 5 collection system in the area of the Tip Top and No. 143 adits may be necessary during the 1993 construction season. We hope that EPA agrees with the need to continue with additions and improvements to the mine seepage collections system in 1993. All of the above remedial actions are part of the ongoing efforts by the State and Paramount to complete the requirements under the RAP. Continuation of all remedial actions at the site is in the best interests of the Superfund process to implement a protective and permanent remedy. We hope that EPA will support the remedial activities that are continuing during the 1993 construction season at the Eagle Mine site.

Ndan, MD, MPFI Executive Director Mr. Robert Neukirchner Eagle Engineering Services, 710 Kipling St., Ste 305 Lakewood, CO 80215 Re: Eagle Mine 1993 Construction Season (EAG 7.9) Dear Bob: This letter is to bring to your attention concerns that I have identified related to the continuation of remedial actions at the Eagle Mine site under the Consent Decree (CD) between the State of Colorado and Paramount Communications, Inc. Eagle Engineering Services has indicated to Doug Ikenberry, On-Site Coordinator, that no construction activities are currently being planned for the upcoming 1993 construction season until the EPA Record of Decision (ROD) is issued. This action is presumed to be based on the uncertainty of Paramount implementing remedial actions ,required under the Remedial Action Plan (RAP) that may be "inconsistent" with the EPA ROD, duplication of remedial actions at the site, and, of course, additional capital construction costs. A loss of remedial construction time was ohserved during the 1992 construction season while Paramount was reviewing and commenting on the EPA Feasibility Study Addendum (FSA) and Proposed Plan. Although a small portion of significant remedial activities was accomplished by Paramount during the 1992 construction season, it was much less than what the State had anticipated would be completed last year. We acknowledge the significant efforts of Paramount at the Eagle Mine site, but would emphasize the importance and requirements of continuing with the outstanding remedial actions required in the RAP that will implement a protective and permanent remedy at the site. My specific concerns related to the upcoming 1993 construction season are as follows: Roaster Piles Preliminary soil sampling of the underlying soils in the Roaster Piles drainage has shown residual soils lead concentrations greater than I00() mg/kg. This action level will require either removal of additional underlying soils and resampling for lead, or covering with 12 Mr. Robert Neukircl~ner February 10, 1993 2 inches of clean fill material. Soil pH sampling of this area has shown fairly low values that may require application of lime in 1993 in addition to the lime applied in previou;; years. The residual soil lead concentrations and low soil pH must be dealt with sequentially before vegetation establishment can proceed and become permanent. Access to the Roaster Piles area can only be accomplished when the Eagle River has receded from high spring flows which usually occurs in July. It is .very important to the: State that Paramount continue the required underlying soil treatment activities in a timely manner so that continuing revegetation activities can be implemented in the Roaster Piles area in 1993. Rex Flats Past underlying soil sampling results have shown that low pH v<ililes remain in this area. Previous remedial activities have entailed applying lime where necessary, and allowing time for the soil pH to increase prior to conducting additional revegetation activities. These activities have resulted in limited increases of soil pH in some portions of the R:ex Flats area. Additional underlying soil treatment activities will be necessary to raise the soil pH to a value consistent with surrounding, undisturbed areas whic}7 will promote vegetation establishment. There is also at least one subarea in Rex Fiats where residL~al soil lead concentrations greater than 1000 mg/kg may not have been addressed as . required in the RAP. VVe have informed you of this observation and understand that you are checking site inspections records for additional information. It is very import~ent to the State that the treatment of underlying soils and subsequent revegetation activiti~°s be continued in a timely manner in the Rex Flats area in 1993. Old Tailinbs Pile/Pipeline Area These ttivo areas are similar to Rex Flats in that additional underlying soil treatment and revegetation activities should be continuedi, if necessary, in a timely manner in 1993. Eagle Mine Workings At this time, we have not identified any remedial activities involving the mine workings that could be delayed by Paramount in ]993. There may be additional activities that could be implemented based upon the continuation of the Mine Draw Down test and the evaluation of that information related to mine seepage quantity, quality, and flow patterns and potential recharge reduction via the Liberty Mine workings. The continued testing and evaluation of the mine workings is very important to the State in progressing towards the surface water compliance objectives in the RAP. Mr. Robert Neukirchner February 10, 1993 3 Waste Rock Piles The construction of the lower Rock Creek culvert has not been approved by the State to date. Conformance to the final approved plans and specifications may require excavation and repair of a segment of the 48-inch diameter culvert located immediately above the energy dissipation structure. Correction of this nonconformance is necessary before the resubmittal of the Construction Element Completion Form for State approval required under the RAP. We have recently discussed this matter with you and anticipate resolution during the 1993 construction season. It is very important to the State that the correction of nonconformance items be undertaken in a timely manner, and the Rock Creek culvert be completed in the Waste Rock Piles area in 1993. Consolidated Tailings Pile The Consolidated Tailings Pile (CTP) is the State's area of greatest concern with regards to outstanding remedial actions at the site. Tl~e RAP requires Paramount to complete the reshaping of the CTP by October 3(), 199 ~ (Exhihit A-2.7.5). This requirement includes removal and relocation of all tailings material and contaminated soils to the L i r, and reshaping to achieve the final configuration of the pile. Removal and relocation activities includes the contaminated soil from the Maloit Park wetlands area north of the CTP. EPA has expressed concerns about the potential effects to Cross Creek from any mitigation of the wetlands. The State and Paramount have delayed any remedial actions in the area because of EPA's jurisdiction over wetlands mitigation at a Superfund site. Tl~e delay in conducting the RAP activities for the iufaloit Park wetlands may affect Paramount's ability to comply with the RAP schedule requirement noted above. We will continue to work with EPA on the mitigation of the Maloit Park wetlands so that the reshaping of the CTP can be quickly completed to achieve the final configuration of the pile. The RAP also requires that capping the CTP he completed during the construction season following the year in which the design requirements for settlement (settlement analysis based on actual settlement and pore pressure measurements indicating that at least 90% of the settlement associated with material relocation and pile regrading has occurred) are met (Exhibit A-4.7.3). It is unlikely that the entire uncapped portion of the L 1 Y would meet this settlement criteria in 1993, but continued capping will need to begin as soon as possible in 1993 to ensure completion before winter shutdown. It is very important to the State that the reshaping requirements, continuation of the tailings settlement process, and capping of the settled areas of the CTP proceed in a timely fashion in 1993. Sludge dewatering and disposal is another activity at the CTP that is being affected by the pending EPA ROD. Paramount's contractor, 1V1cLaughlin Water Engineers, has Mr. Robert Neukirchner February 10, 1993 4 determined which sludge dewatering process is feasible for installation at the water treatment plant. Paramount seems to be reluctant to proceed with the acquisition and installation of the equipment until tl~e ROD has been issued. The installation of this equipment was to have taken place during the winter of 1991-92, but was delayed pending the release of the FSA and Proposed Plan. Delays to install and operate a sludge dewatering process only continues the deposition of wet sludge on top of the C.1 Y. This action maintains the hydraulic gradient of contaminated ground water to the Eagle River. We will be commenting on your proposal for future sludge disposal at the CTP very soon. Our review of this plan has determined it is not technically adequate or appropriate for near-term sludge disposal at the CTP. Our comments to this plan and proposed recommendations will be forwarded to you upon completion. It is very important to the State that the sludge dewatering and disposal be implemented in a timely manner at the CTP in 1993. Water Handling System An item that is closely related to tl~e regrading and capping of the CTP is the permanent closure of the historic pond for use as a storage area for collected contaminated water sources at the site. We have previously requested that Paramount evaluate the past 3 years of data concerning the volumes of contaminated water collected at the site to determine the amount of storage capacity necessary to handle this water. The primary concern will be to provide adequate water storage during the spring runoff period. Storage of contaminated water in tl~e historic pond at the CTP is not acceptable because of the hydraulic gradient this produces which maintains contaminated ground water migration to adjacent surface waters. Additional lined storage capacity may be necessary if the current lined storage ponds are not adequate to fully contain this volume of contaminated water. It is very important to the State that the historic pond area be permanently closed as a water storage area in 199 and that adequate lined storage capacity be provided if necessary at the CL t t'. Additions and/or improvements to the mine seepage collection system is another area of remedial actions that may continue during the 1993 construction season. The extraction of contaminated subsurface flows in the Rock Creek alluvium may become necessary based on the evaluation of reduction of contaminant loading resulting from the Mine Draw Down test. Improvement of the collection system in the area of the Tip Top arrd No. 143 adits may be necessary during the 1993 construction season. It is very important to the State to continue collecting additional mine seepage where practicable, and implementing improvements where current collection systems are not functioning as intended in timely manner in 1993. Mr. Robert Neukirchner February 10, 1993 5 Final Construction Reports RAP Exhibit B-4.1 requires that the Final Construction Report shall be submitted to the State within 90 days after the completion of construction activities for that project area_ The required construction activities related to the Roaster Piles, .Rex Flats, Pipeline, and Old Tailings Pile areas appear to be completed. No Final Construction Reports have been received to date. The State anticipates that Final Construction Reports for project areas that have achieved completion of construction activities will he submitted for review for compliance with the final plans and specifications. Compliance Objectives and Monitoring Plan RAP Exhibit D-3.0 requires that the Compliance Monitoring Plan (CMP) shall be submitted at the end of construction activities. The completion of construction activities in the Roaster Piles, Rex Flats, Pipeline, and Old Tailings Pile areas will require monitoring of the appropriate compliance objectives, soils and vegetation criteria. A partial CMP for these two compliance objectives should be submitted after approval of the Final Construction Reports for review and approval by the State. The two other compliance objectives in the CMP (Eagle River and Eagle Mine) will need to be submitted for review when the applicable construction activities have been completed. All of the above remedial actions are part of tl~e ongoing efforts by the State and Paramount to complete the requirements under the RAP. Continuation of all required remedial actions at the site is in the best interests of tl~e project to implement a protective and permanent remedy. The State will continue to work with Paramount in completing the required remedial actions at the Eagle iVline site.

COLORADO 80202-2466 MAR I I 1993 ~ - Ref : SHWM-SR ~ h- Mr. Richard Parachini Project Manager Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division Colorado Department of Health 4210 East 11th Avenue Denver, CO 80220-3716 Re: 1993 Construction Season Dear Dick: This letter is in response to your letter of February, 10, 1993, in which you expressed concern that EPA's Eagle Mine ROD, scheduled for signing in March, 1993, might impede the necessary progress of clean up activities agreed to by the State and Paramount under your Consent Decree. These are activities scheduled for the 1993 construction season. First, the additional work and the various modifications described by EPA in its Eagle Mine Proposed Plan generally do not conflict with the State/Paramount clean up. EPA has based the additional work it contemplates on the efforts already underway and on the timely and agreed upon completion of these activities. EPA also believes the State has full authority under the Consent Decree to have agreed upon work completed by Paramount. Second, the clean up items you detail in your letter that you want to have accomplished in the 1993 construction season do not, with one possible exception, conflict with what EPA proposes to accomplish under its ROD. Work item by work item these are: 1) Roaster Piles - The EPA ROD will most likely not require the addition of top soil in the roaster areas. We want. to see a positive trend of revegetation success in five years but will , rely on the State's continuing efforts outlined in the RAP and subsequent agreements to clean up these areas. 2) Rex Flats/Old Tailings Pile = EPA is relying on the RAP and subsequent agreements to remediate these areas. Again, EPA wants to see a successful trend of revegetation at five years. 3) Eagle Mine Workings - The EPA draft ROD gives Paramount one full year, from the 1992 start, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the mine draw-down to eliminate the Rock Creek seeps. If the seeps can't be eliminated we will require either the toe drain Printed on Recycled Paper system for seep collection or, if Paramount can demonstrate a 90g collection efficiency, we may agree to its withdrawal wells proposal. EPA is also willing to consider future alternatives, if they can be proven effective, such as a mine in-flow cut-off scheme, bio-treatment, or in-situ treatment currently being evaluated by Paramount. This is clearly pointed out in the draft ROD. 4) Waste Rock Piles - The EPA draft ROD calls for further monitoring and evaluation of the twelve waste rock piles. We would expect the problem in Rock Creek related to the 48-inch culvert and waste rock to be corrected per your RAP specifications and have not addressed this in the ROD. 5) Consolidated Tailings Pile - EPA considers the timely completion of the CTP cap to be critical to the over-all clean up schedule. The draft ROD calls for this to be done within two construction seasons. To accomplish this timely capping it is necessary that capping and shaping the pile continue as schedL~led and that the historic pond be eliminated. The selected alternative for the CTP in EPA's draft ROD is based on dewatez~inq of sludge and the construction of the CTP cap as originally described in the RAP. Though we have proposed a sludge repository on top the CTP, the bottom of this cell must act as a cap in the control of infiltration through the pile. EPA priorities and the State's priorities for the CTP are not in conflict. Indeed, the prudent installation of sludge dewateri.ng equipment and the drying out of the historic pond need to proceed as soon as possible. The possible conflict between the EPA ROD process and the State RAP schedule mentioned earlier would involve the Maloit Park wetlands soil removal. That is, if we cannot reach agreement with Paramount on the ROD until July, 1993, there may not be enough time to finalize a design for the wetlands clears up this season. EPA is .operating on the assumption that the Eagle Valley School Board would be adverse ~to work in the wetlands after school has resumed in the fall. If this is the case them the wetlands soil would probably not be taken to the CTP until. late summer in the following year. It ~rould appzar that an area could be reserved on the CTP for the relatively small amount of wetlands material involved. 6) Water Handling System - EPA agrees with the State on the need to proceed with an evaluation of future water handling needs at the CTP. The draft EPA ROD requires a 90~ collection efficiency of mine seep water in Rock Creek unless the mine dz-aw- down scheme works. EPA will most likely require the more efficient collection of north side CTP ground water by the extension of that trench. We also expect an evaluation of the collection efficiency of the east side trench. These activities 2 J will change the dynamics of the water currently going to the treatment plant. Improvement of collection at other mine seep areas, such as at the Tip Top, should proceed. We hope this answers your concerns about the 1993 construction season and EPA's plans. We must emphasize that the ROD is not yet__signed and the comments above must be considered ---.ti---as draft until the signing takes place, now scheduled for March 29, 1993. We should also point out that Paramount has in no way agreed to additional alternative clean up measures proposed by EPA and has, in fact, challenged our legal authority to require them to conduct additional authorities. Regardless of how this later issue is resolved we see no conflict between the 1993 RAP required work items you describe and EPA's plans. Please give me a call if you want to discuss these matters further. Sincerely, Gene Taylor Remedial Project Manager 3 - Q Earl H.

Washington, D.C. 20460 Re: In the Matter of Eagle Mine, Site IVo. 45 EPA Docket No. CERCLA VIII-93-16 Dear Ms. Browner: I am writing on .behalf of Paramount Communications Inc. to request a meeting to review an extremely troublesome situation which has arisen as a result of EPA action involving an NPL-listed mine site in Colorado known as the Eagle Mine. Paramount, a former mine owner, is presently conducting a comprehensive and costly cleanup at the site pursuant to a CERCLA consent decree entered in June 1988 between Paramount and the State of Colorado acting as lead agency for EPA. EPA is proposing to issue an administrative order which purports to supersede the consent decree .and - to change fundamentally the State's and Paramount's responsibilities. The Agency's actions pose the very real threat that the fed~erai court-approved cleanup which has been underway for five years and which Paramount has funded to date in an amount exceeding S35 million will be slowed or halted. Region VIII, in our view, is forcing itself ~~nd Paramount to court and protracted litigation, rather than taking sensible steps to support continued cleanup activities by Paramount which all concerned agree are appropriate. We believe that the Agency's actions here contravene rational Superfund cleanup policy. The Region's proposed course of action completely denigrates the State's role and responsibility in entering into <~nd ?s f C ~ . 1 \ l~C~~lumbu~Circle ~rwlurk,~~' IUU~~-~-`~~ ~-ri3H~ Fax?1'_-?i3-&338 enforcing CERCLA cleanups and jeopardizes future PRP cooperation by disregarding the earlier agreed-upon cleanup. It is fundamentally unfair to Paramount to change the rules of the game after an exacting agreement was formally entered into, and made judicially enforceable, by the State as EPA's lead agency and with the Region's full knowledge, review and endorsement. Moreover, the Region is acting inappropriately in directing its limited resources to this site. There is no threat to human health or safety; the cleanup is on schedule and working; and the Eagle River is showing water quality improvement. Entrv of Consent ®ecree Paramount is, for all practical purposes, the sole potentially responsible party at the Eagle Mine site, and it has recognized and accepted this status for many years. In this capacity, on June 24, 1988, Paramount became a party with the State of Colorado to a Consent Decree, Order, Judgment and Reference to Special Master ("Consent Decree") in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The underlying suit was brought under CERCLA in 1983 by the State of Colorado, subsequently designated as lead agency by EPA. The Consent Decree required Paramount to carry out an elaborate and costly Remedial. Action Plan ("RAP") at the site, specified remedial action objectives, established stipulated penalties, created a mechanism for dispute resolution, and made provisions for amendment of the RAP in the event of changed circumstances. It was, of course, fully enforceable by the federal court. The Consent Decree also required Paramount to pay to the State substantial sums in natural resource damages and costs. EPA was closely advised about the Consent Decree and RAP as they were being negotiated and formulated. Not only did EPA never object to the Consent ®ecree, it complimented both Paramount and the State on their efforts to minimize litigation and transactional costs and for reaching a cleanup agreement on a complex site. Irv~olertnentatiorw o$ l~ernedial Action Plan The heart of the RAP required the removal, consolidation and capping of millions of tons of mine tailings. Paramount began work in 1988, immediately after the entry of the Consent Decree. Since that time, and always under the close supervision of the State as required by the Consent Decree, many elements of the RAP have been completed. Substantial z progress has been made, particularly in improving the water quality in the Eagle River, which is the resource impacted by the mine. Moreover, as problems have developed or become apparent during cleanup, they have bean solved. The principal example is that a multi- million dollar water treatment plant not contemplated by the original RAP and subsequently required to treat mine seepage because of new circumstances which developed during cleanup was installed under a RAP amendment reached through agreement between Paramount and the State without further litigation and with EPA's full knowledge and approval. EPA'S Intervention In late 1990 at a time when the State and Paramount were actively reviewing and working to correct site problems pursuant to the Consent Decree the EPA launched its own investigation, making absolutely no attempt to work within the framework of the Consent Decree and RAP. Since that time, Paramount has repeatedly protested that EPA's actions were unnecessary and duplicative of the State's, and that ~~ny necessary action over and above what Paramount was already obligated to do, could and should be dealt with under the existing Consent Decree, v~rith the State continuing to act as EPA's lead agency. These protests were rejected, often with the assurance that EPA was not trying to change the RAP, but was just going through certain procedural steps which EPA's site-delisting responsibility required. However, in June 1992 the EPA issued its own Proposed Plan, which in many respects suggested remedial actions and procedures counter to those required by the Consent Decree and RAP. Again, Paramount protested, both informally and in formal comments. Then, in March 1993, EPA issued a Record of Decision, which radically altered the remedial action objectives specifically approved by the Court in the Consent Decree, and required far more work and monitoring than ever appeared in the RAP. Now, EPA has proposed an administrative "removal" order on consent which virtually ignores the Consent Decree and RAP, requires (after nearlyr a year's delay on EPA's part) work to be .done with unfounded urgency inconsistent with sound planning and implementation, seeks a waiver on Paramount's part of most of Paramount's rights under the Consent Decree, and purports unilaterally to change the Court's decree in many material respects. 3 Paramount's Position Paramount cannot accept EPA's action; we cannot responsibly change direction and acquiesce in changes to remedies and cleanup objectives which were negotiated and agreed to with EPA's lead agency, and embodied in a binding federal Consent Decree. EPA's insistence on a removal order can therefore only lead to litigation, in which Paramount will, of course, argue that the Consent Decree should be honored, but which will inevitably adversely affect the cleanup itself. We would like the opportunity to discuss with EPA in more detail our strong belief that this action, attempting as it does to override both the State's role as lead agency and an effective and ongoing agreement with a cooperating PRP, reflects bad policy and bad management. Reasons for ~onnePn at f~ationai Level There are several important points which bear significantly on the appropriateness of Region VIII's actions, and which merit serious review from the national policy point of view. - First, a multitude of risk assessments .have been completed at the site, and none has identified any significant risk to human health. The environmental factors affected are the fish and the insect life in the Eagle River, and both are demonstrably improving. iVtoreover, the cleanup is still underway and its benefits are becoming more apparent with every passing year, so substantial future betterment in water quality, and therefore in the fish and insect population, is a virtual certainty. There is every reason to believe that the remedial action objectives set forth in the RAP are appropriate and will be achieved, within the time frame and on the schedule which the RAP requires. In addition, there is no real issue concerning the specific work to be done under the recently proposed EPA order. Paramount is fully prepared to work with the State to carry out, in consultation with EPA, and under the proven procedures of the RAP, the principal substantive remedial steps embodied in the proposed order. Thus, especially considering that mitigation of the effects of decades of mining will of necessity be a prolonged process, the Agency should, as a matter of policy, respect working judicial consent decrees and their agreed timetables. Second, for EPA to disturb a negotiated settlement, applying its own procedures in lieu of those in place and unilaterally changing established cleanup objectives and parameters of action, undermines the very foundation of the settlement process so necessary to effective Superfund administration. The history of this project from the initial negotiations of the Consent Decree and RAP to the present unequivocally shows Paramount's willingness and the State's ability to deal effectively with new challengers as they arise. And throughout EPA has been given the opportunity to consult actively in the process. Under these circumstances, deference to the integrity of the settlement process and the ongoing RAP should be mandatory. Third, there is the position of the State of Colorado. Obviously, Paramount cannot speak for the State. We have, however, established a long relationship in the course of carrying out the RAP, and we understand from the State's public comments that it does not doubt either the RAP's effectiveness or its own ability to administer the RAP to ensure Paramount's full compliance. Moreover, it is quite plain that EPA has accomplished nothing substantive by its long, costly and repetitive investigations. No part of its Proposed Plan, its Record of Decision or its proposed administrative order is new or innovative; every significant issue raised had previously been identified and dealt with, or was in the process of being dealt with, by the State within the terms of the existing Consent Decree and R.AP. Although the Region repeatedly claimed to be seeking new sources of contamination, it predictably found none. Overall, its more than two years of technical work did no more than confirm what was already vveil understood by the State. In other words, the State is apparently being needlessly elbowed aside by EPA for no substantive reason and certainly not because of any shortcoming on the State's part in overseeing the RAP. No policy justification for this conduct can be found. On the contrary, the Region's actions run counter to the clear congressional policy that states take responsibility for and assist in enforcement of the environmental laws. The Superfund program has been severely criticized far emphasizing procedural posturing and formalistic turf battles rather than 'the efficient and cost effective remediation of problem areas. We submit that the approach the Region is taking to the Eagle Mine site is a real life c<~se study of just such abuse. It threatens delay and disruption of what is otherwise an outstanding example of remedial success where the parties have, with great effort and consensus building, chosen remedial action over litigation, and have spent dollars for cleanup rather than for agency and private party maneuvering. 5 In the hope that we can continue this success, we ask that you assist us in arranging a prompt meeting with Mr. Sussman, and/or such others as are appropriate, to review the issues raised here, issues which are important both to Paramount and to the efficient and fair administration of Superfund remedies.

Your continued participation in the process is necessary to ensure that the state's community and economic development efforts meet, to the greatest extent possible, your region's needs and goals.

The airborne particulate data collected by the Paramount air monitors shown in the tables are preliminary in nature. This means that the Total Suspended Particulate (TSP) values may be revised after auditing and validation by the air monitoring contractor and the State. The information is useful in assessing emissions during this time period, as well as trends in potential human exposure. The air monitoring stations on top of the Minturn Middle Schaol and at the North Cross Creek station were reactivated by Paramount on June 12. The monitoring frequency is 1-in- 3 days which corresponds to the requirements for construction season monitoring at the site. This sampling frequency will be maintained through the 1993 construction season. Actual construction did not occur at the site during the months of June and July. The concentrations for TSP, As (Arsenic), Cd (Cadmium), and Pb (Lead) were below the air emissions permit levels during the months of June and July. '1 he notation ug/m3 stands for micrograms per cubic meter. A microgram equals one.millionth (1/1,000,000) of a gram. Site activities in June and July were associated with collection and transfer of mine seepage and other contaminated water to the lined storage ponds at the Consolidated Failings Pile. The water treatment plant has continued t~ treat this water and discharge it to the Eagle River. Sludge generated from the treatment plant continues to be deposited on top of the Consolidated 'T'ailings Pile. Construction activities at the site will- begin the last week of August and will include reshaping of stockpiled tailings material, placement of more clean soil cap material, excavation of a dewatered sludge disposal cell, and installation of a sludge dewatering system at the water treatment plant. For additional information, please contact Dick Parachini (692-339b), Doug Ikenberry (827- . 5928), or Marion CYalant (692-3304).

The CHAS identifies the housing needs in each of the fourteen planning regions. It also enumerates the strategies DOH will employ to assist communities in expanding the local supply of affordable housing. The focus of this year's meetings is the review of county housing needs assessments that have been developed by DOH staff and will be available to each participant. Each county profile describes the characteristics ofthe local population and households and documents the number and condition of the local housing stock. This demand and supply data is then compared with the types of housing problems experienced by low and moderate income households. A separate section will profile the homeless and those with special housing needs. llVe have recruited a local volunteer to coordinate the meeting in your region. Included in this packet is a list of dates, times and locations for each meeting. If you should have any questions, please contact either the local lead or the designated DOH staff. I encourage you to participate and offer your ideas. Strong public and private partnerships offer the greatest potential for creating affordable housing in our communities.

I AM WRITING THIS LETTER TO MAKE YOU AWARE~OF THE FACT THAT T'HE THERE ARE TWO COMPLEXES IN THE WEST VAIL AREA WHICH ARE ON THE WEST VAIL BUS ROUTE, BUT ARE BEING IGNORED BY THE TOWNS PRESENT BUS PROGRAM. SPRUCE CREEK AND ALPINE CREEK ARE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD BETWEEN THE MATTERHORN AND PTARMIGAN BUS STOPS. PRESENTLY THE BUS RUNS RIGHT BY THESE COMPLEXES WITHOUT STOPPING. ANYONE WHO WISHES TO USE THE BUS IS NOW FORGED TO WALK ALONG THE FRONTAGE ROAD, SOME 440 YARDS TO ONE OF THE OTHER BUS STOPS. CONCERNED $Y THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION I MET WITH MIKE ROSE, TOV TRANSPORTATION MANAGER AND HIS ASSISTANT JODY DOSTER AT SPRUCE GREEK IN JULY 1992. INSPECTING THE PRESENT SITE MIKE NOTED THAT THERE WAS A DEFINITE NEED FOR THE BUS STOP. AGAIN IN SEPTEMBER SEVERAL OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS MET WITH MIKE ROSE AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BEST SITE FOR THE BUS STOP WOULD BE A TURN OFF ALONG THE FRONTAGE ROAD WHICH COULD BE INCORPORATED INTO THE BIKE PATH WHICH WAS TO BE BUILT IN THE SUMMER OF 93. REPEATED PHONE CALLS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH MIKE ROSE AND TOWN ENGINEER GREG HALL ASSURED THE MEMBERS OF T;HE ASSOCIATION THAT THE BIKE PATH AND BUS STOP WOULD BE BUILT DURING THE SUMMER OF 93. UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES I'M TOLD INVOLVING THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS AND DELAYS IN THE BIDDING PROCESS OWNERS AND GUESTS OF SPRUCE CREEK AND ALPINE CREEK AIDE ONCE AGAIN FACED WITH NO BUS SERVICING THE 26 UNITS IN THIS AREA. ENCLOSED ARE THE SIGNATURES OF MANY OF THE OWNERS OF SPRUCE CREEK. AS MANAGING AGENT FOR SPRUCE CREEK I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO COMMUNICATE THEIR FRUSTRATION AND HOLD THE TOWN OF VA:[L ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR PROMISES. I HAVE PERSONALLY BEEN ASSURED 13Y CONSTRUCTION INSPECTOR CHARLIE DAVIS, AND ACTING PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR THAT THE BUS STOP HAS IN FACT BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE DRAWINGS OF THE BIKE PATH WHICH IS TO BE BUILT IN THE SUMMER OF 94. AT THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO URGE THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER THIS SITUATION DURING YOUR BUDGET HEARINGS AND APPROPRIATE T}iE . NECESSARY FUNDS TO BUILD A BUS STOP FOR THIS AREA.
