Cattany <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />On November 24, 2003, DMG approved AR-02, releasing 76.31 acres from the permit area for <br />successful completion of reclamation. Tailings ponds 1, 2 and 3 at the Mayflower facility were <br />included in the released lands. Sample sites BC-1, BC-2, SCTP3-1 and SCTP-2 were intended <br />to monitor drainage from those lands during mining and reclamation activities. It is appropriate <br />to discontinue monitoring drainage from lands that have been fully reclaimed and released from <br />reclamation liability. Reduction of the hydrologic monitoring program to discontinue monitoring <br />at BC-1, BC-2, SCTP3-1 and SCTP-2 was intended but not previously clarified. As of <br />November 24, 2003, monitoring requirements at the referenced sites was terminated. <br />Thank you for informing DMG of DWR finding activities conducted under TR-26 as being <br />exempt from well permit requirements. <br />Please contact me at the DMG Durango Office, 701 Camino del Rio, Room 125, Durango, CO <br />81301, phone (970) 247-5469, if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Wallace H.
