-2- <br />II. Monitoring in the Colorado River Drainage Basin <br />Storm King plans increased monitoring in the Colorado Kiver Basin up and <br />down stream of the proposed mine facility site and processing waste <br />disposal area. Proposed sampling locations on the Colorado River are <br />adequate, the U.S.G.S. Staiion at Glenwood upstream and the proposed <br />Storm King station below the surface facilities. The proposed ground <br />water monitoring plan seems adequate for the Colorado River area. A <br />detailed spring survey should be conducted for the Grand Hogback from the <br />Colorado River to the southern most extent of the proposed mine. The <br />spring survey should concentrate only on springs in the Upper <br />Iles/Rollins Formation, Lower Mesaverde formation and alluvial/colluvial <br />bodies associated with the hogback which will be mined. <br />III. Water Quality Parameters <br />The following water quality parameters may be reduced from water quality <br />analyses, since the last year and a half, data show no-occurrence or <br />occurrence below detection limits: <br />Nrsenic <br />Copper <br />Flouride <br />Hytlroxide Ion <br />Lead <br />Molyodenum <br />Cadmium and Mercury may not be deleted from monitoring at this time. <br />However, following permitting these parameters may also be reduced upon <br />request of the operator. <br />Would you please send a copy of this memo to Sam S. Arentz III of Storm <br />King Mines, to Michael K. Meenan of Giobs and Hill, Inc. and the Michael <br />Galloway of Terra Therm a. If you or the companies representatives have <br />any question, please feel free to contact me. <br />/mt <br />cc: James Pendleton <br />Fred Banta <br />Sam S. Arentz III <br />Michael K.
