The report documents that the operations have had <br />no impact on groundwater or surface water resources in the vicinity of the mines. <br />Hydrologic monitoring results conform to projections of the Probable Hydrologic <br />Consequences (PHC) sections of the permit applications. <br />~~ <br />OLORADO <br />[VISION O F <br />INE~RALS <br />EOLOGY <br />]LAMATION•MIN ING <br />UFETY•SCIENCE <br />Bill Owens <br />Governor <br />Greg E. Walther <br />Executive Direcor <br />Ronald W. Cottony <br />Division Director <br />Natural Resource Trustee <br />The Division has only one request regarding future monitoring and reporting activities. Over <br />the years, collection of flow and analytical data from Munger Creek and McClane Creek <br />(both ephemeral streams) has been sporadic. Beginning in 2004, we request that data from <br />these creeks be collected annually. Please ensure that an operator representative who is <br />on-site full time is assigned the responsibility of collecting samples and flow measurements <br />during at least one summer storm runoff event and from at least one snowmelt runoff event <br />at the Munger Creek and McClane Creek sampling sites. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ ~".. <br />Danie athews <br />Environmental Protecti n Specialist <br />C: Denver File <br />Office of Office of ~ Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
