i ~ ~~ <br />Per the requirements of this permit, attached are groundwater-monitoring results for the 3 <br />monitoring wells located on the permit area that we are still monitoring. Two wells are <br />no longer being monitored due to their irrelevance to offsite groundwater impacts. These <br />two wells were installed to monitor potential groundwater contamination, not water <br />levels. We have received no complaints from adjacent well owners for declines in their <br />water levels or pumping capabilities that can be attributed to our mining operation. Both <br />monitoring wells on the southeast perimeter of the permit azea have shown little change <br />in almost two years of monitoring. The only well that has shown a significant decline is <br />#2, which is directly adjacent to our dewatering trench. There are no private alluvial <br />wells nearby in this area that could be impacted by the dewatering. <br />Sufficiency of Value of Financial Warranty <br />The permittee holds a Financial Warranty for the permit through Employers Mutual <br />Casualty Company. On November 7, 2000 the CDMG approved the Financial Warranty <br />for this operation in the full amount of $562,813.00, a figure sufficient to achieve all <br />reclamation requirements under the current permit. The financial wazranty will be <br />adjusted accordingly once the amendment for increased mining is approved. <br />A check in the amount of $688.00 is being submitted with this report to cover the Annua] <br />Fee required to maintain this permit in good standing. <br />
