1996 Annunl Hydro/ogy Report Responses <br />December 1 /, 1997 <br />Pnge 7 <br />.All of the wells identified by the Division in this point (SOM 45-H-2, SOM <br />C-76, 96-2-2, 96-27-1, RAV-4b, SOM 23-H-1, and SO.W-1) are under the <br />baseline monitoring program; therefore, the third sampling analyses does not <br />apply to these wells. Page 2.04-69, 70 and 71 in MCC's permit explains the <br />baseline monitoring program. As you will note from the tables provided in the <br />1996 AHR, MCC complied with this schedule, and in fact, have more than the <br />three full-suite analyses for many of the wells during the 1996 water year. <br />Please note that field parameters were collected for these wells as shown on <br />Tables I-]0, I-18, I-21, I-22, I-26, I-27, and I-29, respectively. The lab did not <br />complete the analyses of some of the parameters, as specified on MCC's <br />standazd list of parameters. MCC has had numerous discussions with the lab <br />and cannot explain why they missed a few parameters on the groundwater sites, <br />as specified on MCC's s[andazd list of parameters. <br />•As we discussed and observed during previous site inspections, GB-1 has <br />been abandoned and since replaced. The well was located on the east side of <br />LRP. A revision is forthcoming to Division to include the completion <br />information for the new well in the permit. B-32 is a barren member well and <br />is clearly not needed in the monitoring program any longer, as MCC will not <br />mine in the area of this well in the future and will not mine the F-seam. MCC <br />plans to continue monitoring SOM 38-H-1 and reevaluate it afrer the review of <br />the 1997 Water Yeaz data. <br />Based upon the above discussion, MCC would like the Division to reconsider <br />the issuance of the NOV. <br />17. Total and dissolved iron were indeed transposed on Table I-3l for SOM 128H. <br />A revised table is enclosed. <br />18. A list of maps has been added to the Table of Contents. <br />19. MCC has addressed the incompleteness letter for MR#208 under sepazate <br />cover, which was faxed to the Division on December 5, 1997. However, MCC <br />has specific comments regarding the four points made by the Division. <br />.The request to provide mine inflow sample results in AHRs was not made by <br />the Division until December 9, 1996, which is afrer the 1996 Water Year; <br />therefore, this information was not provided in the 1996 AHR. Mine inflow <br />sample results will be included in the 1997 AHR. <br />.Again, this request was made after the 1996 Water Year; therefore, this <br />information was not included in the 1996 AHR. MCC has provided <br />
