The Division has the following questions conceming the hydrologic monitoring: <br />The permit application does not appear to list the required field parameters for surface water and <br />ground water monitoring. Please point out in the permit application where the field parameters list <br />is or revise the permit application to include such a list. <br />2. On page 7 of the 2000 Annual Report, it is shown that quarterly field parameters and quarterly lab <br />parameters are required for alluvial ground water wells MWO1, MW02 and MW03. However, <br />there are no field parameters, except for water level, and no lab parameters for MW02 for the <br />entire year. Also, there are no first quarter lab parameters for MWOl and no first quarter field ar <br />lab parameters for MW03. These three sites are accessible during the winter months. Please <br />explain these omissions. <br />The submittal shows that quarterly field sampling was done for springs 51013 and 51404, with no <br />winter access for the first quarter. However, Table 1 shows that monthly sampling at these two <br />locations is required. Please explain. <br />4. There were no annual lab analyses for springs 50805 and S 1013, and for springs/ponds SP0701 <br />and SP2200, even though there were discharges during some of the months. Please explain the <br />reason for the omissions. <br />There was no quarterly lab sampling for Terror Creek location SW02 and no second quarter lab <br />sampiing for Steven's Gulch location SWOS, even though there was flow in those streams during <br />those visits. Please explain these omissions. <br />6. There were several missing pazameters in the lab analyses for streams and springs. There was no <br />TSS analysis in the third quarter for East Roatcap Creek location SW06, no TSS analysis in the <br />atmual lab analysis for spring 53000, and no TSS analysis for the second and third quarters for <br />springs S3100 and 53200. Please explain. <br />There were several missing pazameters in the lab analyses for ponds, as well. There were no TSS <br />measurements in the annual lab analyses for ponds P0306, P8700 and P8900. Also, there were no <br />sulfate measurements in the annual parameters for ponds P1002, PI004, P1007, P1009, P150] and <br />P8700. Please explain. <br />2000 Annual Mine Inflow Report <br />The Division has no questions conceming the 2000 Mine Inflow Report. There was no annual mine inflow <br />study conducted in 2000 due to the sealing of the mine adits for reclamation. Historically, mine water <br />inflows have not been significant. Water usage in 2000 was essentially restricted to water consumption at <br />the train loadout and to evaporative losses at the ponds. <br />2000 Annual Subsidence Report <br />The Division has no questions concerning the 2000 Annual Subsidence Report. The subsidence <br />monitoring report consisted of the results from those monitoring locations proposed and approved in the <br />
