We estimate the east C seam workings have a total water holding capacity in excess of 600 million gallons of water. When added to the west C seam workings plus the underlying B seam workings, available water holding capacity would certainly exceed 1 billion gallons of water. As noted in our TR-47 application, the effect of 3 million gallons of water transferred to C seam would be inconsequential and would be predicted to quickly dissipate throughout the old mine workings. There are no circumstance in which we believe that transferred water into the C seam workings would ever be expressed at the surface near the C seam portals. 2A. Please see the attached revised PAP page 2.05-96a and 96b discussing the probable hydrologic consequences of the proposed transfer of water to C seam. There are no connections between the old C-seam workings and the Sanborn Creek mine workings, The two workings are separated by considerable distance of coal barrier pillars and the migration of transferred water into the Sanborn Creek Mine is considered highly unlikely. 2B. As discussed in the meeting, OMLLC expects there will be no discharge of water from the C seam portals and, as such, transferced water will never reach the North Fork of the Gunnison River. We do, however, have an analysis of two May 21, 2004 sump water samples. The analyses are attached for the Division's information. To insure the water is operationally suitable for re-use in the mine, the sump water is drawn from the bottom of the sump and routed through a mechanical filter to remove any suspended solids above 25 microns in size. The attached analysis for "pre-filter" and "filtered" demonstrates the effectiveness of the filter to provide water that meets not only the operational requirements but applicable pH and TSS requirements. 2C Please find attached Map 2.04-M46, sheets 1 and 2, "C" Seam Isopach showing the connecting features between the C seam workings and the B seam workings. The map shows the rock tunnel raises, ventilation boreholes, other boreholes, etc. The current and approved B seam monitoring program will remain unchanged. The H-10 borehole will monitor for B-seam water levels (currently the mine is dry). The B-6 well is scheduled to be abandoned and plugged with concrete as part of D seam development. OMLLC will monitor the C seam borehole for water levels at the same frequency currently in place for the H-70 well and report the results in the Annual Hydrology Report (AHR). Please see the attached revised pages 2.05- 96b, 2.05-00, Exhibit 2.05-E7, Page 1 for details of the revised monitoring program. 2D. We anticipate transferring up to 3 million gallons per year. Pumping records will be kept and the annual volume of water transferred will be noted in the AHR. 2E. Please see the revised Permit Page 2.05-96b for a discussion of the volume available in the abandoned B and C seam workings. We have no information suggesting that hydraulic seals or bulkheads were installed in the C seam workings. Interviews with local miners with C seam experience suggests the C seam mine was dry and such seals would not have been used. 3. OMLLC owns or purchases additional water rights intended to be fully utilized and "consumed" by the mining operations (with a portion used by the town of Somerset). Unlike agricultural water rights where there may be an expectation of return flows from irrigation activities, there is no requirement or expectation for any return flows to the North Fork of the Gunnison River. 4. Map 2.05-M1 -General Facilities has been modified to include the injection well within the disturbance boundary and present disturbed area. No new additional acres of disturbance are required.
