Our review found the reports satisfied the <br />requirements for frequency of analysis and the reports contained the required content. The data <br />indicated no water quality compliance issues. <br />Samples are collected once per quarter from the Wiltse Well (King I Mine) and from three <br />locations at the King II Mine: 91 Up- gradient Monitoring Well; 92 Down - gradient monitoring <br />well; and #3 Hay Gulch Irrigation Ditch. Laboratory analyses were conducted by Green <br />Analytical Laboratories in Durango, and the Chain of Custody records were attached. <br />For the 2nd Quarter 2014 sampling effort, I accompanied the GCC Energy employee throughout <br />the process. My observations were documented in the Division's Inspection Report for June 23, <br />2014. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns. <br />Best regards, <br />Marcia L. Talvitie, P.E. <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http: / /mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
