<br />Letter to Rich Muza <br />U.S. EPA Region 8 <br />Page 3 <br />We are very pleased with the actions that the DMG and BMRI leave taken to ensure ong--term <br />protection of [he District's drinking water supply as described in DMG's follow up response dated <br />February 14, 2000. We also understand the concerns of the community, and support their efforts to <br />take whatever measures they deem necessary [o monitor and protect their water supply. We gathered <br />from EPA and DMG that there is some question as to the need for a monitoring well. but no argument <br />about your recommendation regarding the location should the District decide to proceed with the <br />drilling. <br />We have informed the District that funding may be available to support the drilling of [he well, but that <br />they would have to support the sampling and analyses activities. The placement of .he well and the <br />monitoring could be undertaken as a component of the "protection" phase of source water assessment <br />and protection, but is not included in the assessment phase. <br />The Division truly appreciates the time and effort you have taken in responding to our request. Please <br />let us know if you have any questions about our interpretations and recommendations. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~-~"~-~x~.9-rte <br />Kathleen Reilly, Watershed Co rdinator, Arkansas & Rio Grande Basin <br />WATER QUALITY CONTR L DIVISION <br />cc: Juanita Bernal, SLWSD <br />Dave Holm, WQCD <br />Mike McGowan, CCCD <br />Jim Dillie, DMG <br />Carol Russell, EPA, Region 8 <br />Bill Lyle, BMRI <br />
