Box 2140 <br />Meeker, Colorado 81641 <br />Re: Hydrologic Monitoring <br />Meeker Area Mines <br />Dear Ms. Geyer: <br />This letter is to inform you of the Division's approval for the reduction <br />of hydrologic monitoring at the Northern Meeker Area Mines Complex. <br />For a description of specific monitoring frequencies and parameters to <br />be analyzed, I refer you to the attached memo of June I8, I982 from David <br />Craig, which you have had an opportunity to review. Based on discussions <br />between you and David Craig subsequent to the memo, we have decided to <br />eliminate the monitoring wells in the P and J seams (HRP-]A and HRJ-1) <br />from the program, and sulfide will be deleted from the surface water chemical <br />parameter List. <br />I will emphasize here that this approval for a reduced monitoring program <br />is based on the current level of intensity of your operation, which is <br />significantly less than the potential for the Meeker Area complex. <br />Consequently, any increase in mining activity at the Meeker Area complex <br />may require the development of a more comprehensive monitoring program. <br />if you have any further questions, please contact Dave Craig or me at <br />the Division. <br />Sincerely, I~` '' <br />Brian E. Munson <br />Senior Reclamation Specialist <br /> <br />BEM/mmt <br />Enclosure <br />
