The discussion centered on the current status of <br />the site. The Division does not fcel that the information submitted to date is sufScient to inactivate the permit at <br />this time. There are sill too many unanswered questions conceFimg groundwater movement. Additionally, the <br />seep report you submitted was not sufficiently detailed. We need to insure that the mine is not causing an <br />impact to water quality. Through our conversation with the DMG, it was determined that the information that <br />they required to set a point of compliance is very similar to the information the Division needs to determine if <br />there are any surface water impacts. Therefore, it seems to be the best use of state and comparry's resources if <br />the two Divisions work together with you to resolve the technical issues at the site. It is anticipated these <br />conversations will start N the near futtue. Once the technical issues are addressed it may be more appropriate <br />for to to meet. <br />' Once the Division has determined that the site is not causing an impact on the surface waters m the area, we will <br />inform you that an inactivation request will be processed. Until that time, the Division expects that Homestake <br />will comply fully with all the requirements of the pemtit. <br />' Please contact me or Patricia Nelson of y s ; <br />~z~ ~~ <br />' erely, <br />J.
