sampling will be overseen may be collected either whatever BMRI proposed. by a third party, and that samples by BMRI or by the third party, The Division proposed that third party verification sampling be conducted no more than 6 times in the first quarter of the year following approval of this TR, no more than 3 times in the second quarter of that year, and no more than 3 times in the second half of that year. BMRI shall be notified 2 days prior to the date of sampling. 6. The Division is not satisfied with the response. The reason for monitoring major cations and anions is to detect 'changes in water composition that may be related to mining. Measuring one without the other is of very limited use, as pne is more or less matched with the other to check charge balance. If there is a net negative (or positive) balance, then, in all likelihood, there is an analytical problem, and the labs need to be told about it. 7. Comment answered 8. Comment answered 9.

Comment answered Comment answered Comment answered The Division expects that RS-5 and RS-6, M-2, M-6, M-7, M-8, and M-9 will be monitored bi-weekly. Comment answered. It appears that BMRI did not understand the intept of this comment, perhaps because of my imprecision. Ordinarily, all sample bottles sent to labs should be completely full. Anything less than a full bottle should indicate to the lab either leakage or low sample availability. The sampling protocol should account for the disposition of partial samples, and make the lab responsible for noting such samples. If partial samples are to be supplied to the lab, BMRI should evaluate the probable effects on the analyses of agitation, in air, during shipment.
