Long <br />Division Director <br />RE: Somerset/Sanborn Creek Mine, File No. C-81-022, Annual <br />Hydrology Reports <br />Dear Mr, Wright: <br />The Division received the 1994 Annual Hydrology Report for the <br />Somerset Mine on February 2, 1995. The 1993 and 1994 reports were <br />both reviewed by Kent Gorham who is a Environmental Protection <br />Specialist in our office. <br />Generally, there was a marked improvement in the monitoring <br />compliance in the 1994 report versus the 1993 report. However, <br />several questions were raised about the monitoring frequency in the <br />1993 report along with a couple of items in the 1994 report. Also, <br />there was some concern about the unusually high levels of sodium <br />chloride in the Rollins sandstone wells. <br />The Division is requesting that Somerset respond to the issue of <br />the missing data by February 24, 1995. Please be advised that the <br />Division may pursue enforcement action for the missing values if a <br />justifiable response about their absence is not received. <br />Yent's revie:. memo is enclosed and provides more specifics abo'~t <br />the Division's concerns. If you have any questions, please contact <br />me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~5~~~ <br />Anthon}~J.
