Have these sites been abandoned according to the guidelines found <br />in 4.077 If these sites have not been permanently sealed, please <br />prepare bonding calculations to cover appropriate sealing <br />techniques. <br />11. B-Seam Fuel Characterization Data <br />Page 2.04.21 provides fuel characterization information on the C seam per <br />Rule 2.04.6(2)(a)(iii)(c). Please supplement this with B seam data. <br />Correspondence from Bear Coal Company on 12/7/89 within TR 3, and 7/29/89 <br />within MR 6 provide this data.

Water Consumption and Water Rights <br />In Exhibit 5, of Exhibit 14, pane 2, the operator claims to have pumped <br />2,100,000 gallons of water from a shallow well at the Bear No. 3 Mine in <br />1984. On page 3, projected maximum streamflow depletion of the North <br />Fork of the Gunnison River is projected to be 1,721,000 gallons (5.3 AF) <br />per year, yet Annual Hydrology Reports over the last six years have <br />documented water consumption of approximately 2 acre-feet/year. Does <br />Bear anticipate that water consumption will remain the same during the <br />remainder of the permit term? What is the source of this water and from <br />what decree does Bear derive its water rights per Rule 2.04.7(1)(a)(iv)? <br />Identify the location of this well or water diversion on Map 10, the Mine <br />Facilities map, or the sediment control map requested in question 21 <br />below to effect compliance with Rule 2.05.6(3)(b)(vi). In addition, <br />documentation of water rights in the permit application was not found, <br />though Section 4.05.15 of the permit commits Bear Coal to replacing water <br />supplies affected by the mining operations. Please proviae proof of <br />necessary water rights in compliance with Rules 4.05.15 and 1.12. <br />-5- <br />
