M <br />-3- <br />C. Hydrologic Monitoring Plan <br />1. A minor typographic error exists on page 1 of Exhibit 15. On this page it <br />is stated that theplan for monitoring the surface mine consists of four <br />components; howeve~rlll, only three components are listed. The fourth component <br />should read "Surface water stream monitoring'. <br />2. Of the five st eam monitor sites listed in Table A, one of the sites, site <br />~; is not identif ed on Map 4, Mine No, 3 Hydrology. Additionally, the tvo <br />effluent monitor sues, sites 24 and 76, are not clearly identified on the map <br />as such. These mo 7tor sites should be located on the map. Also, shallow <br />aquifer monitor we~l 008-AY-4 is listed twice in Table A. <br />3. The revised paiameter list (Table C) should also include chloride for both <br />ground and surface water analyses. <br />G z <br />4. Existing recor <br />site has not been <br />or quantity.
