This may be demonstrated by <br />locating and monitoring a well between the pit area and the Anderson's well prior to <br />excavation. The static water level should be monitored quarterly during periods of <br />operation. if the mining operation, as shown by the monitoring plan, does not significantly <br />impact the groundwater system, the monitoring program may be discontinued through a <br />Technical Revision. <br />Response: Tn order to ensure that the portion of the proposed mine plan azea, which corresponds <br />to mining yeazs 2007, 2008 and 2009, which is potentially hydrologically connected with the <br />water bearing strata associated with the Anderson's water well, the Applicant will commit to <br />establish a ground water monitoring well betwcen this mine pit area and the Anderson's water <br />well. The enclosed "Map # 3, Tellier Gravel Pit -Mine Plan Map" shows that a proposed ground <br />water monitoring well has been proposed in this azea. This site is labeled on this map as the <br />"Proposed Ground Water Monitoring Well." <br />The proposed parameters which will be analyzed and frequency of analysis aze contained in the <br />discussion which was submitted to the DMG in our package dated 23 October 1998, specifically <br />the revised information contained in Exhibit G, Water Information and the accompanying letter <br />dated 9 December 1997 which was sent to the Anderson's Attorney and which was prepazed to <br />address a specific stipulation promulgated relative to this project by the Routt County Regional <br />Planning Commission. All of our proposals associated with the Routt County monitoring <br />condition will be applied to the monitoring well proposed by the DMG. The results of this water <br />monitoring information will be submitted to the DMG in connection with the required Annual <br />Report for this operation. In the event that interim monitoring data shows dramatic declines in <br />either water quality or quantity, then the DMG will be notified of these developments within <br />seven workings days of this information becoming available. <br />It is hoped that this additional information addresses all of the concerns raised in your letter, In <br />the event that additional clarification is needed, please do not hesitate to call me at (970) 638- <br />4462. <br />Sincerely, <br />Kent A.
