RESPONSE TO DRMS REQUESTS <br /> Request#1: 3.4.2 Water Table <br /> The Operator's response does not satisfy the requirements of Rules 6.4.7(2)(c), 6.4.21(8)(c-e), <br /> and 3.1.5(10) and(11). As discussed below, the Division requires additional information regarding <br /> the hydrogeology of the area of the Eastern Volcanic Overflow Apron (particularly for the ECOSA <br /> footprint), the area identified as "area where drainage tunnels do not cause significant head <br /> change in diatreme"on Plate 9 (Rev. 1), and the area identified as "post-mining Grassy Valley <br /> capture zone on Plate 9 (Rev. 1). <br /> Response: <br /> Since submission of the Hydrogeochemistry Evaluation, ABC has prepared for CC&V's water <br /> rights augmentation case a more detailed evaluation of the water table conditions in and adjacent <br /> to the Cripple Creek Mining District. This evaluation is presented in Attachment 1 to this response. <br /> Of particular note, the work presented in Attachment 1 refined the detailed hydrogeology of the <br /> eastern volcanic overflow apron, the area of the apron for which infiltration emerges into the <br /> western extreme of Grassy Valley, and the larger area for which the drainage tunnels have <br /> apparently never impacted groundwater levels. The revisions included in Plate 9 (Rev.1) largely <br /> relate to these changes, and are the subject of this comment, so Attachment 1 is responsive to <br /> this request. <br /> Page 2 of 16 <br />
