~ J~~ <br />Paq• 3-69, Table 3.5-3, Rater Rights Summary <br />Two rights were omitted for °Terror Ditch Extension" 6.:) CFS, <br />Apro Date 01/01/1884 and 23.0 CFS, Aprp Date 12/31/76. <br />Pages 106-110 Hydrology <br />On page• 107 it states that "Miningr xould also resu:.t in <br />dewateriaq of saturated zones of the mined horison". H,. also <br />fell that subsidenoe associated with the mining could h,:)ve an <br />adverse effect on springs and seeps and alsc could lead water <br />flow dower cracks into the mined arena and into northeast d:.ppinq <br />aquifers with resulting. loss of water to Terror Dit::h and <br />Reservoir Co. We therefore disagreewith the conclusions c:~~ page <br />110, 8.6.4.2. <br />Tn addition to the above, we also think that the [J.S. 'orest <br />Service needs to look at cumulative impacts in this area. This <br />should include the additional impacts from the proposed timber <br />sale in our water shed. Previous timbering in our water shed <br />have ,had an adverse effect on our mid-summer water supply ~:lue to <br />the accelerated snow melt in spring and early summer, espe::ially <br />in areas of clear cutting. <br />Page 110, 8:ploration Drill Soles <br />1n paraq~aph 3.6.4.1., close watch should be kept on water <br />quality and quantity in areas of exploration holes and if a::lverse <br />effects are noted, casing and cementing o.f holes aho~.)id be <br />undertaken. <br />Pages 3-49 b 50, Figures <br />fie want to compliment you on your preparation of your maG~s and <br />general geology. <br />Flhile Terror Ditch and Seservoir Co. does not want to impe:e the <br />development of these coal resources unnecessarily, we do noi: feel <br />we should assume additional risks ae we do not share in r..ny of <br />economic benefits from this endeavor. we therefore asaum~:~ that <br />the Bureau of Laad Management and the Onited States forest <br />Service would underwrite nay damages to our water syst::~m and <br />assume•reaponsibilitp and liability !or any failure to our I:~am as <br />the length of stay of any mining company is an unknown. <br />A.~ <br />Sincerely, <br />Terror Ditch and Reservoir Co. <br />Richard H.
