Mr. Tim Stover <br />August 9, 1996 -New App./Bowie 2 <br />Page 7 <br />14) It appears that the three wells referenced on page 2.04-23 are not all represented on Map <br />23 as required. Please revise Map 23 to show the registered wells in sections 14 and 15. <br />Add any other such points of information as needed. <br />14a) The following features appear to be in or near the proposed permit area. Terror Ditch, Blue <br />Ribbon Ditch, Barrow Springs Pipeline, Majnik Ditch, Mayes Ditch, Jenkins Ditch, and, <br />Stephens Ditch. Based upon Map 23, it appears that these features could be impacted by <br />BRL's mining activities. Please provide detailed information to verify no impact, or if <br />impact is predicted, provide details regarding mitigation plans. <br />15) Impacts to the local alluvial valley floor are possible. Possible impact mechanisms include <br />spring snowmelt and precipitation-related percolation through distu~ed areas. Discharges <br />from mine site sediment ponds can also lead to elevated salinity levels both in the river and <br />in the adjacent alluvial valley floors. Some. level of baseline data collection and operational <br />monitoring will be needed. The three proposed alluvial wells, along with pond discharge <br />monitoring and monitoring of the North Fork of the Gunnison River may be a viable <br />solution. Please provide a plan to address this issue. <br />16) Response accepted. <br />17) The referenced handbook does not specify how springs will be repaired if damaged. The <br />discussion seems to be limited to stocl~onds. Please specify BRL's plans to replace or <br />repair springs if damaged. <br />17a) Response accepted. <br />]7b) Please provide the documentation verifying compliance with the issues raised by the State <br />Engineer's Office in their letter of March 13, 1996. <br />2.04.8 -Climatological Information - 18) No additional information nquired. <br />2.04.9 -Soil resources Information <br />19) Response accepted. <br />20) Response accepted. <br />2.04.10 -Vegetation Information <br />21) Provide all information and responses required to resolve the concerns and recommendations <br />
