Box 449 <br />Florence, CO 81226 <br />Re: Mid-term Review: 2nd response <br />Southfield Mine (C-81-014) <br />Dear Mr. Weaver: <br />pF' COQ <br />Nis- b <br />. p <br />r. <br />Roy Romer <br />G mernnr <br />Mrchael B Lnng <br />Division Director <br />The Division has reviewed your technical revision (TR 15) adequacy <br />response in addressing Mid-term review issues and has the following <br />comments. Comments are listed in the numbering sequence of the <br />Mid-term review. <br />Items one through six: Satisfied. Thank you for your responses. <br />Item #7: Thank you for your draft submittal of letters to the <br />landowners. Please forward signed copies as soon as possible per <br />your letter dated April 9, 1993. <br />Items 8 through 10: Satisfied. Thank you for your reply. <br />Item # 11: This issue is im need of resolution. In consultation <br />with the State Engineer's Office, your file indicated that there <br />were no petitions for further inquiry or consideration filed per <br />the State Engineer's Office request, dated July 22, 1991. The <br />letter received from Delaney and Balcomb, addressed to EFCI and <br />forwarded to the Division; dated March 16, 1992 does not constitute <br />a valid response to the State Engineer's Office. Two items must be <br />resolved before the Division can clear this item from the Mid-term <br />Review. These are: one, an augmentation plan must be presented for <br />the loss of water due to evaporation on the 1.1 acre pond; and two, <br />since the "well" falls within 600 feet from two other wells, one a <br />fee well and one for domestic use, that a letter waiving a hearing <br />by the State Engineer's Administrative Officer by the owners of the <br />said wells, must be submitted to the State Engineer's Office. Upon <br />receipt of the letters, which could also be a legal agreement <br />reached by EFCI and the well owners concerning damage to well water <br />loss, etc., the State Engineer's Office will reconsider the <br />application. The Division is concerned that the continued <br />withdrawal of state waters from the mine without a permit to do so, <br />
