Box 670 <br /> <br />36600 Routt County Road 27 <br /> <br />Hayden, Colorado 81639 <br /> <br /> <br />RE: Peabody Sage Creek Mine; C-2009-087 <br />Well Abandonment for USGS Monitoring Wells; Abandonment Report Review <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Cowman: <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (CDRMS) has reviewed the above referenced <br />report. The report was received via e-mail on October 28 th, 2015. The report documents the sealing of <br />eight wells that were used in a US Geological Survey study that was conducted within the permit area. <br />It does not appear these wells have any permitted monitoring requirements. Each well was reported as an <br />artesian well and was sealed with cement that was tremied into the wells. The report indicates the wells <br />were sealed on September 24, 2015. Included with the report was the US Geological Survey Open-File <br />92-122 which is the report/study where these wells were utilized. The US Geological Survey report <br />includes details on the location of the drill holes and a map depicting the holes, the depth of the holes and <br />surface elevation of the holes. The abandonment report includes the diameter of the drill holes, the type <br />of cement used as well as the volume of the cement used to seal the drill holes. The abandonment report <br />submitted includes the name of the drilling contractor but the license number of the drill and rig was not <br />reported as required by Rule 4.07.3(3)(h). Please provide this information. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (303) 866-3567, extension 8120. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Jared Ebert <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br /> <br />John W.
