f <br />Trapper was requested to use the term "no flow" for data entry, when applicable, as <br />opposed to leaving the entry blank. <br />The Division has not received a written response to this question so the question is being <br />asked again. This is stated in comment number 37 in the second adequacy review letter. <br />9. OSM was interested in examining the Division's review of the 1996 Annual Hydrology <br />Report. The Division's first adequacy review letter, dated July 15, 1997, has already been <br />sent to OSM. The Division's second adequacy review letter, dated December 9, 1997, is <br />being sent to OSM under separate cover. <br />F[ELD ISSUES <br />] 0. Several exceedances of holding times were observed in some of the laboratory analyses. <br />A review of all of the data showed that only a very small number of samples were <br />involved and that the holding time exceedances were of a short time duration. No pattern <br />of negligence was observed. Trapper was encouraged to find a way to avoid having any <br />such exceedeces in the future. The Division believes that this issue has been resolved. <br />11. The flume below the Coyote pond and the flume in the Flume Gulch drainage needed to <br />be leveled. <br />Trapper leveled these two flumes. Subsequent inspection by the Division showed that all <br />of the flumes at the mine site were level. The Division believes that this issue has been <br />settled. <br />12. Trapper was asked to come up with another method of sampling the flow from springs <br />and seeps, rather than by measuring the flow at a one foot wide throat parshall flume. <br />Such a flume was not sensitive enough to measure the 5 gpm threshold flow rate that <br />would initiate water sampling. <br />Trapper has committed to employ a portable two inch wide throat parshall flume for the <br />measurement of spring and seep flows. This is detailed in the new section XXXI of <br />Appendix Q. The Division considers this sampling method appropriate in resolving the <br />issue. <br />13. This item involved a discussion of points of compliance for water quality standards and <br />did not require Trapper to submit any revised material. <br />14. Trapper was requested to include "dozer basins." in the permit application, using the <br />procedures outlined in an August 8, 1997 memorandum from Russell Price of the OSM <br />Western Support Center to the OSM Albuquerque field office. <br />
