5. When was the maooina of sorinos and seeps accomplished? Have <br />RESPONSE: <br />• The mapping for springs and seeps originally was completed during the <br />summer of 1984. None were identified during this time; however, some <br />amount of water was coming from the old underground coal mine workings <br />located in the permit area. <br />In March of 1985, another spring and seep survey was conducted. At this <br />time, the pipe emanating from the old underground coal mine workings was <br />discharging water at a rate of approximately 20 to 25 gallons per <br />minute. Coal Gulch was also running at this time at an estimated 1-2 <br />cubic feet per second. Because the ground was either covered by snow or <br />saturated during the March 1985 visit, it was impossible to identify any <br />springs and seeps. <br />6. Page 4.05-8, Section 4.05.11 states that no discussion of <br />roundwater rotection is necessar because of lack of roundwater <br />and lack of the resence of aci -formin and toxic-formin <br />substances. As mentioned previous y t ese areas need to be <br />• re-evaluated and this section may need to be revised. <br />RESPONSE: <br />As mentioned above, Peerless Resources, Inc. believes that there is a <br />lack of useable groundwater within the permit area. As a result of the <br />lack of useable groundwater, Peerless Resources, Inc. does not believe <br />that any groundwater protection is necessary. In addition, during the <br />March 11, 1985 meeting, Peerless Resources, Inc. and the Division agreed <br />that there are no acid-forming or toxic-forming substances found in the <br />overburden or underburden material of the "A" Coal Seam. <br />r~ <br />MAR n a 1986 <br />~.oN-;~~ <br />
