<br /> <br />Section III - Status of Stipulations <br />(continued) <br />Stipulation No. 10 <br />All springs in the five-year permit area and adjacent area (those in <br />Sections 18 and 19, T13S, R91W, and Section 24, T13S, R92W) shall be <br />monitored for discharge and water quality (i.e. pH, electro-conductivity <br />and temperature) on a quarterly basis as weather permits. The data <br />gathered from the monitoring shall be submitted to the Division quarterly. <br />Resolved: CWI's spring monitoring program is described in <br />Section 2.05.6(3)(b)(iii) of the permit application and documented more <br />specifically in Table 3 of Volume 4. Data gathered is submitted on an <br />annual basis and available for review throughout the year at the mine <br />offices. <br />Stipulation 11 <br />The operator shall begin monitoring the alluvium of the Stevens Gulch well <br />field. The monitoring well should be monitored monthly for water levels <br />and quarterly for water chemistry. The data gathered from the well shall <br />be submitted to the Division quarterly. <br />Resolved: CWI describes its monitoring of alluvial/colluvial deposits, <br />including the Stevens Gulch wellfield in 2.05.6(3)(b>(iii). The two wells <br />in the Stevens Gulch wellfield are SM-2 and SM-9. <br />Stipulation No. 12 <br />Colorado Westmoreland, Inc. is directed to complete Phase II of the <br />geotechnical and stability analyses of its surface facilities area at the <br />Orchard Valley Mine, as outlined in the various letters of proposal from <br />Merrick & Company and Geohydro Consultants included in Volume 10 of the <br />amended application. Phase II of this study includes an analysis of <br />alternate proposed sites for a coal processing waste pile at the <br />Orchard Valley Mine. The scope of Phase II shall include test drilling <br />and excavation of test pits, the installation of appropriate water <br />quantity and quality monitoring wells, the performance of various rock and <br />soil tests, and the performance of a series of stability analyses dealing <br />with existing surface facility configurations and with the proposed <br />alternative sites and structures for a coal processing waste pile. This <br />analysis shall be complete and a report summarizing the results and <br />methodology thereof submitted to the Division for review by December 31, <br />1981. <br />Resolved: The final submittal of Phase II was received by the Division on <br />April 16, 1982 and approved on May 17, 1982. It is incorporated into the <br />permit application in Volume 6. <br />-8- <br />
