-3- 5. Aground water level hydrograph for alluvial aquifer monitor well 08-AU-4 is plotted in Figure 6 (Volume 2). No data exists for this well 1n the permit application (except for the drill log in Exhibit 1) and it is not plotted on a map within the permit application. 6. The applicant should include in the permit application well construction summaries for all monitor well completions that are identified to Table A of the Hydrologic Monitoring Plan (Exhibit 15). This information should Include well depths, design (including perforated intervals), and surface elevations. B. Surface Water Information A description of the surface water system 1n the proposed permit and adjacent area is contained in section 2.04.7, Volume 1 of the permit application. Supporting Information is given in Mai 4, Energy Mine No. 3 Hydrology, Tables 28 and 29 and Figures 7,9 and 11. 1. On page 2.04-48 and 2.04-49 of the permit application it is stated that stream flow records (reduced to mean monthly discharge) from three stream gaging stations on Foidel, Middle and Fish Creeks are summarized in Table 28, Surface Water Monitoring Data. These data do not appear in Table 28 of this permit application. However, historic stream flow data (through 1980) for these three gaging stations can be found in Table 28 of the original Energy Mine No. 3 permit application submitted by Energy Fuels Corporation in February, 1981 (CMLRD file No. C-036-81). All available stream flow data for the gaging stations Included in the proposed hydrologic monitoring plan (Exhibit 15) should be presented in the present permit application. Specifically, data from USGS gaging stations 09243700 and 09243900 should be provided and should include both historic and current stream flow records for these sites. The Division cannot overstress the importance of compiling all existing water monitoring information into one document to facilitate the review process. C. Hydrologic Monitoring Plan The proposed hydrologic monitoring plan for the Energy No. 3 Mine is presented in Exhlbtt 15 (Volume 3) of the permit application. The applicant has proposed to monitor eight deep aquifer monitor wells, six shallow aquifer monitor wells, flue stream monitor sites and two effluent monitor sites as shown on Table A. The hydrologic monitoring frequency will be conducted according to the schedule in Table B and the parameter list for sample analyses is given in Table C. 1. A minor typographic error exists on page 1 of Exhibit 15. On this page it is stated that the plan for monitoring the surface mine consists of four components; however, only three components are listed. The fourth component should read "Surface water stream monitoring". 2. Of the flue stream monitor sites listed in Table A, one of the sites, site 18, 1s not identified on Map 4, Mine No. 3 Hydrology. Additionally, the two effluent monitor sites, sites 24 and 76, are not clearly identified on the map as such. These monitor sites should be located on the map. Also, shallow aquifer monitor well 008-AV-4 1s listed twice in Table A.
