<br />not it is an aquifer in the proposed mining area. If SCC <br />is proposing that the Twentymile Sandstone is not an <br />aquifer in the area of the proposed mine, then <br />information should be submitted to support that. This is <br />where a more specific identification of geologic units <br />monitored at the Yoast Mine and how these units compare <br />stratigraphically with regional stratigraphy and aquifers <br />would be beneficial to the Division's review of the <br />permit application package. <br />19) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />20) See comment #18. <br />21) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />22) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />23) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />24) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />25) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />Tab 15 - Hydrologic Monitoring Plan <br />49) SCC's monitoring plan for YTC32 and YTC33 is acceptable. <br />SCC should be advised, however, that the Division will <br />not likely approve a technical revision which eliminates <br />monitoring of the Trout Creek Sandstone Aquifer, because <br />the requirement for monitoring the aquifer is intended to <br />verify the operator's prediction of no impact or minimal <br />impact to the aquifer. Without monitoring data, this <br />prediction cannot be verified. <br />50) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />Tab 17 - Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />54) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />55) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />56) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />57) a) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />b) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />c) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />d) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />e) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />f) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />g) The response to this comment is adequate. <br />59) This question has not yet been addressed. <br />
