below). In July 2013 all power was shut down on the mine property. Within a month or so of the shut -down, <br />the site substation of partially dismantled. In May 2014, copper thieves were discovered on site and <br />apprehended by the Moffat County Sherriff s department. The thieves activities had resulted in $500,000 to <br />one million dollars -worth of damage between the main warehouse and the multi- services building on site. <br />Security cameras were subsequently installed on site, and a security company was hired to inspect the site <br />daily. It is anticipated that some reclamation may occur in 2015. DRMS will be notified of our intensions <br />well in advance. <br />3.0 2014 HYDROLOGIC MONITORING PROGRAM <br />The WFM hydrologic monitoring program includes data collected specifically to meet requirements of the <br />DMG, as well as data collected to meet the requirements of the Colorado Wastewater Discharge Permit <br />System (CDPS). Note that "CDPS" parameters were fonnerly referred to as National Pollutant Discharge <br />Elimination System (NPDES) parameters in prior AHRs. Specific monitoring locations are illustrated on <br />Figure 2. <br />In June 2001, Technical Revision TRO 1 -32 was approved, allowing suspension of many DMG hydrologic <br />monitoring requirements while the mine was in temporary cessation (TC). In 2005 BTU EC began to exam <br />options for future re- activation of the mine site. In view of this considerations, BTU EC reverted back to the <br />active monitoring plan (pages 1 — 14 of Exhibit 29), during the second quarter of 2006. In the third quarter of <br />2013 the mine reverted back to temporary cessation monitoring, as it was decided that there were no short <br />term plans to reactivate mining. Permit documentation relating to monitoring requirements under TC is <br />provided as an attachment to the 2014 AHR. <br />WFM personnel will continue to be responsible for adhering to the monitoring requirements of its CDPS <br />pen-nit. Thus, this AHR only addresses the data required under the TC monitoring plan: <br />• Bedrock well TR -7A, <br />• Alluvial well AVF -5, <br />• Surface water sites (Williams Fork) WF -1, WF -2, <br />• CDPS (Permit CO- 0034142) sites: <br />o 1) Mine discharge No. 5 Mine sump [CDPS Outfall 003, a.k.a. site 5D]; <br />0 2) Mine discharge 7 North Angle Well Bore [CDPS Outfall 024, a.k.a. site 9P3], and <br />0 3) Spring - No. 1 StripPit [CDPS Outfall 022, a.k.a. site 1 SP]. <br />Page 3 <br />I \Env`,Empurc\AHR\2014 \Test \Empire2014AHR.doc <br />
