(Permit No: M-88-112) <br />Dear Mr. Douchane; <br />The Division continues to progress on its revie`,v of each of the thr@e above <br />referenced technical revisions. We appreciate the aggressive manner in which <br />Battle Mountain Resources, Inc. (BMRI) has pursued resolution of each of its <br />technical revision applications. However, the complex nature, the burden of <br />other duties, and the sequential nature of several of these revisions, make it <br />impossible for the Division to complete their revie`d by the original statutory <br />deadlines. For this reason, I ask that 6MRI request the following review <br />deadline extensions. Failing a request by BMR?, the Division's only <br />alternative svculd be denial of the revision applications. <br />TR-008 Installation of additional around `:,afar monitorina_ and <br />evaluation of the pa`a collected. Necessary well permits <br />were verbally approved July 7, 1992 by the Division of Water <br />Resources. In accordance '.vith the Board's additicnai <br />corrective action order of June 25, 1992, this sets the <br />peadline for 3MRI's submittal of an evaluative report as <br />August 6, 1992. The parties svill then have ten days to <br />comment. In light of this, I ask that you request an <br />extens'on of the TR-C08 review deadline from July 16 to <br />Monday, ~.ugust 22, 1992 (prior to the .august Eoard meeting). <br />TR-L'09 Following the satisfactory completion or TR-008, EMR: can <br />then finalize its ground `.voter containment plan, proposed as <br />technical revision TR-~i09. Realistically, I project that the <br />submittal, party comment, response and approval could not be <br />completed prior to late September. Therefore, I ask that you <br />request an extension cf the TR-009 review deadline from <br />July 16, 1992 to Monday, September 21, 1992 (prior to the <br />September Board meeting). <br />TR-010 The Division is involved in the revie~,v of BMRI's response to <br />our technical aeequacy comments. ? hope to completB revie.v <br />
