The Division had stated in its <br />December 9, 1997 summary letter to OSM that OSM would be contacted when the <br />remaining items, item numbers 2, 6, 7 and 8, were finally resolved. The Division believes <br />that all of the adequacy issues which had been a part of the Special Focus Inspection of <br />surface water hydrology at the Trapper Mine have been answered satisfactorily by <br />Trapper. This letter is a final summary of the issues brought up during the field and office <br />portions of the Special Focus inspection of Trapper Mine. <br />OFFICE REVIEW <br />Trapper had been requested to clarify two statements on page 4-222 of their permit <br />application. The Division believes that this issue has been resolved, as explained in <br />the December 9, 1997 letter from the Division to OSM. <br />Trapper had been requested to expand on the Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />(PHC) section of the permit application. The Division's letter of December 9, 1997 <br />to OSM detailed the resolution of this issue, except for one item. This item <br />
