<br />Ms. Christine Johnston <br />Mountain Coal Company <br />Page 2 <br />September 27, 1996 <br />Spring #16). It is not clear from the data presented whether decreed spring #14 or <br />decreed spring #16 was sampled (Wilcox Reservoir or Wilcox Reservoir No. 1, <br />respectively). Both of these springs aze required to be sampled. No data were <br />provided for decreed Spring # 14. Thus, there is a discrepancy between the approved <br />monitoring program and the data as they are presented in the 1995 AHR. Please <br />clarify this and make arrangements to collect the appropriate monitoring data prior <br />to the next sampling round. <br />2. As stated in your response letter, the inflow and/or outflow, if any, are measured for <br />the subject reservoirs. From the data presented in recent AHRs it is unclear what <br />flow is being measured. If both inflow and outflow exist, the Division recommends <br />that both parameters be measured. For future reporting efforts, please clearly state <br />whether inflow and/or outflow were measured when presenting data for Wilcox <br />Reservoir. <br />3. As is done with USFS water resources (refer to Exhibit 19C of the permit <br />document), the Division recommends that visual observations of the water level in <br />Wilcox Reservoir be made. It is in MCCs best interest to make careful <br />documentation of the water level at the time of routine inflow and/or outflow <br />monitoring at Wilcox Reservoir. <br />Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />.M~~ ~ <br />Michael P. Boulay <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />
