Following is a list of commitments made to the Division by Peerless
Resources. These statements were found either in the PAR responses (April 15,
1985; June 28, 1985) or the recently published findings document.
The commitments documented here deal only with free flowing surface water,
ground water (including mine inflows), and subsidence related flows.
/ 1. Subsurface water (mine inflows) will be channeled to a sump, which will
be sampled quarterl for MLRD approved ground water parameters
(April 15, 1985 PAR.
/ 2. Five surface water sites will be monitored quarterly for the parameters
/listed on Page 23 of the April 15, 1985 PAR responses. '
,/ 3. No pillars will be pulled in areas with less then 300 feet of
overburden (surface elevation 7,400 feet). In addition, no pillars will be
pulled adjacent to the main mine entries. (June 28, 1985 PAR, and Findings).
`~ 4. Peerless will weld a stand-pipe onto the Victory No. 3 discharge pipe.
Discharge will be measured monthly, while water quality samples will be
collected quarterly. The parameters to be analyzed are the same as in
Stipulation No. 3. (June 28, 1985 PAR and Findings).
~. A double completion well will be drilled in NW 1/4 NW 1/4 Section 16,
T35N, R10W. One well will be completed in the lower Cliffhouse Sandstone,
while the second will be completed in the upper Menefee Formation. These
wells will be drilled in the late summer or fall of 1985. Well completion,
pump or slug test, and water quality data, along with drillers logs and other
applicable information will be submitted to the Division. The water levels in
these wells will be measured monthly. 41atPr-goal-i-ty-wi-N-be_arLd]Xzed_ ~
