5. Ground and Surface Water <br />C~ <br />a. As previously stated in the mid-term review of this permit, the <br />format for baseline and monitoring data collected to date should be <br />revised to include individual sampling dates and quality parameters <br />through time. The format should be chosen so that full suite <br />chemistry is presented over time in one table allowing easier <br />identification of trends. Field measurements should be in a <br />separate table. This issue was originally addressed in concerns <br />over the annual hydrologic report (AHR). However, as the new <br />permit application is to replace the old permit, the individual <br />analyses of each sampling site for baseline and ongoing monitoring <br />need to be included in this document. As previously noted to <br />Empire Energy, the statistical tables given for each sampling site <br />are inadequate to depict trends from site to site. <br />RESPONSE: Baseline and monitoring data collected to date has been <br />• revised to include individual sampling dates and quality parameters <br />through time. A copy of this data has been made available to <br />CMLRD. <br />b. Page 2.04.7-94 - No mention is made of the Fran Lux Well. The <br />original permit application committed to replacement of this well <br />if any impacts occurred due to Empire's mining. Reasoning for <br />deleting this wording needs to be explained. <br />RESPONSE: Page 2.04.7-94 has been revised to address this issue. <br />c. Chemical Treatment Svstem. Paae 2.05.3-31 - The first sentence of <br />this section states that raw mine water is treated orior to <br />entering the sediment pond. The last sentence states that no <br />treatment is used prior to the mine water entering the sediment <br />. pond. Clarification is needed. <br />39-9 <br />
