Lochhrad <br />Execur~.e D'vecror <br />MlChatl 6. Long <br />On•inon Direcror <br />While reviewing the above referenced file it was noted that in an October 20, 1992 letter from <br />Tuttle Applegate to the Division the following commitment was made as part of the 83d )Dint Venture <br />Permit: <br />8(b) The groundwater !eve! temperature, and conductivity of each monitoring well and the Mao <br />private wells (iF owner permission is obtained) will be monitored and submitted with each <br />annual report. Baseline data monitoring will begin az soon as possible prior to commence <br />of mining and continue concurrent with mining. if no significant differences occur <br />between the baseline data and the mining monitoring data for a period of two years, the <br />monitoring for temperature and conductivity may be suspended based on review by <br />pivision staff. <br />This requirement was reiterated in the Division's Permit Issuance letter of January 27, 199'4 -paragraph 2: <br />'The operator is reminded that quarterly ground water monitoring of private and monitoring wells <br />is a requirement of this permit. Quarterly reports are to be delivered to the Division pursuant to <br />the moniroring programs agreed to on the permit' <br /> <br />I have reviewed our correspondence file and your January 1995 and January 1996 annual reports and have <br />not found any ground water monitoring reports. <br />The Division will wait until April 20, 1996 to receive these reports. If they are not received by that date <br />you may be issued a "Reason to Believe a Violation Exists' notice for not following the conditions of the <br />83d Joint Venture Permit. <br />If }~ou have any questions please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />`~ ~ < <br />~' Gregg R- Squire <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />cc: Pam AcreJGary Tuttle, Tuttle Applegate, Int. <br />Carl MDDnt, DMC µ+p55ymmWill.rrs <br />
