OGCC <br />GCC Energy, LLC <br />Telephone: 970.385.4528 6473 County Road 120 <br />Energy "Safety as a Value" Facsimile: 970.385.4638 Hesperus, CO 81326 <br />March 25, 2016 <br />State of Colorado <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining & Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Attn: Robin Reilley, Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Re: GCC Energy, LLC <br />King II Mine <br />CDRMS Permit # C-81-035 <br />Technical Revision #26 - Adequacy Review # 1 Response <br />Dear Ms. Reilley: <br />This submittal is GCC Energy's (GCCE) response to your letter of November 25, 2015, <br />"Adequacy Review #1, November 2015 for Technical Revision No. 26 (TR -26)". <br />Technical Revision 26 (TR 26) proposes to add surface, alluvial and ground water <br />monitoring wells on lands owned by State of Colorado Lease CO -3388, Bureau of Land <br />Management, and Theodore and Nancy Wiedemann. <br />This program involves completion of 4 clusters of 3 wells each, numbered MW -1 thru MW - <br />4, designed as shown in Appendix 4 (5). <br />Each cluster will consist of one hole drilled in the Menefee formation to just above the "A" <br />coal seam, one will be drilled into the "A" coal seam, and one drilled to below the "A" seam <br />to a depth just above the "B" coal seam. <br />All four monitoring well clusters will utilize the already disturbed area of the existing <br />roadway thereby minimizing the foot print of disturbance. <br />In addition to the bedrock monitoring wells listed above, GCC Energy proposes to establish <br />a new surface water sampling location in the Hay Gulch Ditch, upstream from the King I <br />mine surface facilities near the confluence of Hay Gulch and Roberts Canyon. <br />Since TR -26 was originally submitted, the Division has requested that GCCE install an <br />alluvial monitoring well up -gradient of the King I Mine surface facilities. This additional <br />well is addressed in this submittal. <br />
