Monitoring well#3 will be constructed northwest <br /> of Phase 1 on Southwest Farms property as requested. Figure 1 includes a proposed location. <br /> DWR monitoring well data is incomplete for wells 2,3,and 4. Fremont Paving will provide surveyed surface elevations <br /> for all monitoring holes. <br /> All proposed monitoring wells are permitted as only monitoring holes by DWR. During monitoring,vicinity well locations <br /> and uses will be noted. <br /> Please accept the following responses to comments received via email on July 22,2014 from Mr. Huzjak via the <br /> Division. <br /> • All the proposed monitoring well locations are impacted by a structure or environmental situation because all <br /> were constructed after commencement of mining and without the intent to monitor mine dewatering. It is <br /> because of this that the program includes seven wells rather than a fewer number. <br /> • Groundwater levels respond slowly to anthropogenic and environmental influences. Monthly monitoring is <br /> scientifically supported and industry practice. <br /> • Groundwater data will be reported to DRMS on a quarterly basis. <br /> • Mitigation efforts are contained in the mitigation agreement. <br /> • The property owner is Stonewall Springs Quarry LLC. <br /> Mr.Sliman's notarized signature page for the Mitigation Agreement is included in this correspondence. <br /> Please feel free to call me with any questions at 719-275-8951. <br /> Respectfully submitted,, <br /> Angeeld Bblla oni 7. <br /> Cc:John P.Ary <br /> Enq iAIro(tlMe tall f/Uter(t actives li c.. <br /> 1107 Main Street, Canon City, CO 81212 <br /> www.envalternatives.com •e-mail. eai@bresnan.net <br /> Phone: 719-275-8951 • Fax: 719-275-1715 <br />
