<br />United States Department of the Interior RECEIVED <br />OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING <br />Rcclamarion and En(orcemenr <br />1999 Broadway, Sui[e 3320 <br />Denvcr, Colorado 80202-5733 <br />June 15, 1995 <br />Ms. Susan McCannon <br />Coal Program Supervisor <br />Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Ms. McCannon: <br />JUN 16 1995 <br />pivision u; muie;ii~s ~ heolo9Y <br />Thank you for your letter dated June 6, 1995, explaining the <br />results of the Division's further review of the water well issue <br />which was alleged violation number two of Ten Day Notice X-93- <br />020-370-005-TV-3, for Basin Resources, Inc., the Golden Eagle <br />Mine, permit number C-81-013. <br />As described in your letter, the Division conducted further <br />investigations into possible impacts to the livestock windmill <br />water well owned by Jim and Ann Tatum, located near Weston, <br />Colorado. As a result of these further investigations the <br />Division found that it is likely the water level in the well was <br />influenced by the adjacent underground workings and exhaust <br />shaft. However, the water well was not in use at the time the <br />permit application was prepared and therefore it was not included <br />in the permit. You also determined that the operator took <br />measures to minimize hydrologic impacts in the area of the well. <br />I find that your investigation and conclusions as reported in <br />your June 6, 1995, letter constitute appropriate action in <br />response to the second alleged violation relating to water loss <br />in Ten Day Notice X-93-020-370-005-TV-3. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ja~~ <br />James Fulton <br />Denver Field Manager <br />
