Lamm <br />Governor <br />August 9, 1985 <br />Mr. Frank Salowericz <br />B.L.M. Deputy State Director <br />Mineral Resources <br />Colorado State Office <br />U.S.B.L.M. - 2020 Arapahoe Street <br />Denver, Colorado 80205 <br />RE: Well Monitoring at Getty Exploration Site - File No. CX-159-09 <br />Dear Mr. Salowericz: <br />A meeting was held on July 30, 1985, at the Water Resources Division of the <br />U.S.G.S. to discuss the water monitoring program which is to be implemented in <br />conjunction with Getty Mining Company's 1985 Coal Exploration Program at the <br />Hart Syncline site. In attendance at this meeting were representatives from <br />Getty Mining Company, U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Geological Survey's <br />Division of Water Resources, and Brian Munson of my staff. <br />I understand that under current plans the groundwater monitoring program would <br />continue through the 1986 field season. Because of current coal mining <br />activity in this area and the potential for additional mining in the future, <br />any long term groundwater monitoring at this site would be of value to future <br />permitting. If a responsible party could be identified to maintain and <br />monitor these wells beyond the 1986 season, the additional data would assist <br />the Division in determining the potential hydrologic impacts of mining in the <br />region. <br />If you wish to discuss this matter in any greater detail, please feel free to <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ <br />~~ l <br />Fred R. Banta <br />Supervisor, Coal Program <br />FRB/mis <br />cc: Mr. Rhio Jackson <br />2554E <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel. (303) 866-3567 <br />
