CMLRD Mid-term Review October 25, 1989 Page 3 Stipulation 18. -The area of Beaver Reservoir is not currently considered minable and has not been included in WECC's Resource Recovery and Protection Plan approved by the Bureau of Land Management and the Office ~`/ of Surface Mining. It is not anticipated that this area will be mined. Should the minability criteria change some time in the future and the mine plans change, WECC will submit a revision application for the Division's approval at that time. WECC believes this stipulation is not applicable and should be terminated. Stipulation 19. -WECC has submitted revised subsidence evaluations and will continue to do so in future permit applications, as this information is required in the regulations. As stated on revised page 3-79, when a plan is submitted ~~ to undermine the Dry Fork of the Minnesota Creek, the subsidence protection plan will be evaluated and altered, if necessary, based upon subsidence data collected during earlier mining. Again, the area of Beaver Reservoir is not currently minable. Stipulation 21. -WECC has installed monitoring wells in the alluvium of Dry Fork (see well Nos. A-1 (AV-1 ), A-2 (AV-2), and A-3 (AV-3), in Appendix D-5). These wells were monitored for a period after the installation, though they are not currently included in the groundwater monitoring program. Water levels and ~1 water quality monitoring will be resumed one year prior to mining in this watershed. Wells will be installed and monitored in the alluvium of Lick Creek one year prior to mining in this watershed as stated on revised page 2-480. South Prong and Horse Creek will not be undermined as these areas are not part of the current minable reserves, therefore WECC does not plan to monitor the alluvium of these areas. Stipulation 22. - As stated on revised page 2-358, WECC will make other arrangements to monitor the North Fork of the Gunnison River, should the U.S.G.S. discontinue monitoring the existing station. Stipulation 28. -This stipulation is basically the same as Stipulation 2. See the ~~ response to Stipulation 2. Stipulation 30. -Bonding calculations for the Lower Refuse Pile in Volume 12 (Bond Section, page 1) already states that..."additional bond will be posted as !`~~ necessary for Phases III, IV, and V prior to their disturbance. As you know, all but Phase V has been bonded to date.
