Christine Johnston <br />Mountain Coal Company <br />Page Z <br />January l3, 1998 <br />7. No response is necessary. <br />The Division is uncleaz as to what is meant by MCC's statement that Figure H-5 (well <br />GP-5) shows a rising water level in the well (yet is still dry). Data submitted in the AHR <br />indicate that there were approximately 11 feet of water in the well casing at the time <br />water levels were measured during WY96. This is sufficient water to obtain a sample for <br />chemical analysis. <br />Figure H-32 (well SO.W-3) indicates that there were approximately 255 feet of water in <br />this well casing at the time water levels were measured during WY96. This is sufficient <br />water to obtain a sample for chemical analysis. <br />Failure to obtain samples from these wells indicates noncompliance with the required <br />groundwater monitoring plan. No further response is required at this time. <br />Response accepted. <br />10. Field pazazneters were missed during the first and second sampling periods appazently <br />due to damage to the well. All required monitoring points must be maintained or <br />replaced to ensure that required data can be obtained. If revisions to the approved plan <br />aze desired, then a technical revision must be submitted for consideration. These <br />problems indicate noncompliance with the required groundwater monitoring plan. No <br />further response is required at this time. <br />11. Monitoring wells SOM-23-H-1 and LP-1 are part of the approved and required <br />monitoring plan contained in the permit. Monitoring of these wells is required unless the <br />approved plan contained in the permit is revised by the technical revision process. It <br />appeazs that there is still a discrepancy in the water level reporting for well LP-l. The <br />total depth of this well is 260 feet and Table I-30 shows a depth to water of <br />approximately 75 feet as measured on five occasions during WY96. This does not <br />indicate that this is a dry well. Failure to obtain a sample from this well indicates <br />noncompliance with the required groundwater monitoring plan. No further response is <br />required at this time. <br />l2. Response accepted. <br />13. Response accepted. <br />
