• P.5 No.2 There are three usable drill holes left on the site: 17B, 82-4, and 82-1. Well 17B is at the northern reaches of the planned pit and intersects a limited strata interval. Well 82-4 is on the upper side of the east high wall and intersects strata above and through the coal seams. Well 82-1 is located on the south end of the planned pit and is drilled to the base of the gravel. All of these wells have intercepted water of some magnitude. These wells are the remaining locations for water monitoring and testing. Oakridge plans to conduct additional testing of water quality during the next four quarters to better document the occurrence and quality of the water. P.5 No.3 Full suite monitoring will be conducted on the springs for the following four quarters. This information will be included in the annual hydrologic report as submitted to the Division. P.5 No.4 Well 17B has not flowed to the knowledge of Oakridge. However, a cap will be placed on • the top of the well to prevent any possible flow from the well. P.6 No.5 Oakridge has committed to conduct an additional year of full suite monitoring on the three available wells and the springs. P.6 No.6 Well 82-5 has been eliminated by the mining operation. Oakridge cannot confirm nor explain the possibility of the hydrogen sulfide smell from the well. P.6 No.7 Oakridge does not believe any further testing for alluvial valley floors is merited. Any additional testing could not possibly create the slightest concern of the existence of an alluvial valley floor. GEOLOGY P.6 No.l The third hole from which the geochemistry data is provided is apparently lOB, which is on the northeast side of the north end of the pit. The well has been shown on Map 4-2. • P.6 No.2 Please refer to the response to Question 1 under the Geochemistry requirements above. P.6 No.3 The character of the slumping contact has been
