NEWMONT <br /> Table 16.1 in Exhibit U is intended to summarize events that require reporting to DRMS. A more detailed <br /> outline of the monitoring requirements for the PSSA and VLF features is provided in Appendix G, Section <br /> 3.3. Table 16.1 in Exhibit U simply refers to the monitoring requirements presented in Exhibit G to avoid <br /> duplicate information. <br /> The monitoring criteria outlined in Exhibit G has been reviewed by DRMS and approved in prior <br /> Amendments. As such, CC&V is committed to notiAing DRMS as soon as is reasonably practicable, <br /> following laboratory sample result confirmation. If an event meets the criteria outlined in Rule 8, CC&V <br /> commits to notifying DRMS within the timeframes required by the Rule. <br /> DRMS Comment(italics): <br /> IL Lust paraWraph Exhibit G p. 12. There is a reference to the OAILR. The assumption is this refers to <br /> the Office of.1lined Land Reclamation. .-llthough statutorily correct, this is an outdated term. TVe <br /> would prefer a consistent reference be used throughout submitted documentation, such as <br /> "Division"or <br /> Newmont Response: <br /> Comment noted. The Office of Mined Land Reclamation (OMLR)has been changed to DRMS in Exhibit <br /> G. Future submittals will use Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety (DRMS)as standard language. <br /> DRMS Comment(italics): <br /> 12. Exhibit G,p. 1.1 Sec 4. As mentioned in Comment the Division does not necessurili•agree with the <br /> comment "...that no deleterious change in the average regional groundwater yualih•from the District <br /> will occur... "Currently there are groundwater monitoring results from the site that mining has had <br /> an impact to groundwater quality in the area. Please eliminate of revise this statement. <br /> Newmont Response: <br /> CC&V acknowledges that impacts to groundwater quality have occurred due to historic mining activities. <br /> However, as presented within the demonstration of compliance submitted by CC&V in June of 2017 and <br /> December of 2018, the water quality of the mining district has not been impacted by modern mining. <br /> Water quality sampling of the approved compliance monitoring wells demonstrate no new sources or <br /> increase of contamination. <br /> DRMS Comment(italics): <br /> 13. Exhibit G,p. 16. Sec 6, Lust sentence. Please clarift if all of'b'LF?is a closed loop system or if 6"LF <br /> Phase 3 is a closed loop system or both, the wording is inconsistent. <br /> Newmont Response: <br /> VLF2, including previously constructed portions, and the proposed Phase 3 area, is a zero-discharge <br /> faci I itv. <br /> DRMS Comment(italics): <br />
