Re: Certefied Letter # 860 418 649
Dear Mr. Doak, ;>
In response to the above referenced letter: Northern Colorado Brine ceased
accepting the unauthorized Monfort brine immediately upon notification by the
Weld County Health Department that this was not an approved waste stream. Please
note, however, that the previous Director of the Weld County Health Department
was fully aware of the disposal of Monfort brine at NCB and had given his
approval for that disposal. However, that verbal approval was not verified in
writing. Further, please consider that NCB made no effort to conceal or deny
the acceptance of this waste stream, and that NCB acted in good faith in accepting
this waste as NCB believed it had been approved.
I have enclosed a copy of Northern Colorado Brine's response to Weld County
Health Department regarding this waste stream.
Please call if you have any additional questions or concerns regarding this
matter.
Sincerely,
Patty Deplaze

Dear Mr. Jiricek,
REF: NORTHERN COLORADO BRINE CERTIFIED LETTER NUMBER P186978272
In response to your letter dated January 25, 1993 and received by Northern Colorado
Brine January 29, 1993, NCB has ceased accepting hide washing waste water from
Monfort. This waste was accepted under the belief by NCB that approval had previously
been granted by WCHD personnel. Please consider that no attempt was made by NCB
to deny or disguise acceptance of this waste, as we believed it had been approved as
an alternate waste stream.
Again, we have ceased taking in this waste and regret the misunderstanding that caused
us to accept this product. Please call if you have further questions or concerns regarding
this matter. I may be reached at 897-2439 or 454-3452.
Sincerely,
Patty eplazes
