14. Section 4.05.13 needs to be revised to reflect a surface and <br />water monitoring oroaram for the ife of mining. <br />RESPONSE: <br />Subsurface water encountered within the mining operation of Peerless <br />Resources, Inc. will be channeled to an underground sump for use in the <br />mining operations. In order to respond to Division concerns, Peerless <br />Resources, Inc. will analyze this subsurface water in the sump on a <br />quarterly basis for the elements listed in the Groundwater Sampling <br />Guidelines of the Division. If no problems are encountered after a year <br />of monitoring (4 quarters), Peerless Resources, Inc. will petition the <br />Division for reduction or elimination of this groundwater monitoring. <br />As mentioned in Section 4.05.13, Peerless Resources, Inc. will monitor <br />any discharge from the sedimentation pond as required by an NPDES <br />permit. <br />In addition, for a period of one year, Peerless Resources, Inc. will <br />) monitor on a quarterly basis those stations sampled during March of 1985 <br />• and shown on the Mine Facilities Map (Map 12) and the Regional Hydrology <br />Map (Map 6).

The applicant shall sample <br />this discharge quarterly for the parameters listed below <br /> Ground Water Parameters: <br />pH (Field) Chloride Arsenic <br />Conductivity (Field) Magnesium Cadmium <br />Temperature (Field) Ammonia Iron <br />Total Dissolved Solids Nitrate-Nitrite Manganese <br />Bicarbonate (as CaCo3) Phosphate Mercury <br />Calcium Sodium Selenium <br />• Carbonate Sulfate Zinc <br />... - <br />
