<br /> <br />MS. CAROL PAHLKE <br />Page 3 <br />Cbtober 10, 1980 <br />Violation 80-27 - Failure to comply with Stipulation #2, attached <br />to Permit #79-53 by the Mined Land I~clamation Board. Failure to su}init <br />information and plans required by this stipulation relative to overburden <br />volumes, haul road drainage, L~ 1 Agua Canyon hydrology and shrub plantings. <br />Progress - A11 of the information outlined under NOV 80-28 can <br />also be used to satisfy the abatement conditions required in NOV 30-27. <br />In addition to the work outlined above, TBM has initiated the following: <br />1) Del Agua Canyon Hydrology - The sediment oontml map crontained <br />within the October 7, 1980 arrp_ndrnent submission exhibits five groundwater <br />monitoring wells and the school cell. Water samples were taken from <br />these and the sartg~les will be analyzed per the MLR requirements. In <br />addition, a water sample was taken from a spring in the Del Agua Canyon <br />(shown on U.S. Quad Sheet) and it will be analyzed for the same parameters. <br />At this time four (4) additional wells will be crompleted in the Del <br />Agua Canyon drainage to further define its hydrologic character. These <br />wells will be located so as to provide information for permit expansion <br />into Section 21 and Section 15. The wells will be logged and rtnnitored <br />in compliance with the regulations, with well completion expected by <br />October 17, 1980. <br />Mr. 13~bert Brogden of Bishop and Associates has been wntracted to <br />perform the pump test to determine the transmissivity of the aquifer. <br />Scheduling of this activity has been problematic but as of this date the <br />testing will be performed during the reek of October 20, 1980. <br />2) Haul fmad Drainage - This has been satisfied in the information <br />submitted in the technical revisions to the permit and the plan sutanitted <br />requesting approval to mine to the west. Further information can be <br />found in the C~tober 7, 1980 amendment submission. <br />3) Shrub Plantings - Trinidad Basin Mining, through its consultant, <br />will harvest shrub seeds and attempt to propagate them and then plant <br />the seedlings. 'Ihe species to be collected will be: snowberry, tmuntain <br />mahogany, gambles oak, and rubber rabbitbrush. The seedlings will be <br />planted in clumps, with 25 seedlings per clump, and 9 clams per acre. <br />The 25 seedlings will be comprised of si.x seedlings of each species. <br />If sufficient plant materials do not exist at the site then tube- <br />lings will be purchased and established as above. The planting of the <br />various shrub species is dependent on availability and if, some species <br />are not available MLR will be advised and the plan revised accordingly. <br />9) Facilities Area F~clamation - Preas that are actively used for <br />machinery maintenance or coal storage will require additional preparatory <br />
