II. Water Treatment Facilities. GKMC is obligated to treat water (for WQCC) using facilities that <br />SGC is obligated to reclaim (for MLRB). Only one of these obligations can be carried out. <br />Leaving along-term water treatment plant on site is not compatible with the approved <br />reclamation plan. What aze SGC's plans for reclaiming the water treatment plant? <br />III. Sedimentation ponds. GKMC's access right, for treatment, is limited. However, even without <br />that limitation, SGC is still obligated under the DMG permit to remove these ponds and reclaim <br />the area to rangeland. Please clarify your access right to this property for reclamation. What aze <br />SGC's plans for reclaiming this area of the permit and what is the schedule? <br />IV. Hydrologic Balance. The Division is in possession of considerable water quality and water <br />quantity data from the monitoring program approved in TR-14 to the SGC permit, but currently <br />has no concise assessment from SGC of the impact of plugging on flow and water quality from <br />other azeas. If GKMC fails to adequately operate the American Tunnel water treatment facility, <br />what are SGC's plans to address groundwater quality at the Gold King mine? <br />We would appreciate a timely response to the issues addressed above. If you have questions or need <br />clarification, please contact Wally Erickson. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~E~~ <br />Harry H.
