(Federal--OfFice of Surface Mining) oversight inspection, and has been <br />continued to date. Coors Energy Company (CEC), with the cooperation of <br />the Division, will likely propose amerger/modification of these procedwes as <br />part of the upcoming renewal application for its Mining and Reclamation <br />Permit. <br />Additionally, CEC is concerned about the monitoring of wells located outside <br />the Permit boundary. Currently two (2) wells (DH 122 and DH 96) are <br />located on private property not owned by CEC and not within the Permit <br />area. CEC would like to work with the Division to avoid property issues, yet <br />comply with the rules and regulations in monitoring and sampling waters <br />potentially affected by its reclamation operations. <br />Data <br />All wells are sampled using the above described procedwe. The following is <br />tlne sequence in which the wells are presently sampled: (1) FPW, (2) DH <br />122, (3) DH 96, (4) AMW-1, (5) SMW-2. Historically, this represents the <br />ordering of the wells from least to greatest salinity. <br />• Ash Monitoring Well (AMW-2) remained "dry" through 1995. this well is <br />located on the North-East edge of "A" Pit (Cell) in a highly distwbed <br />reclaimed-overbwden area. The well was redrilled in 1993, as per <br />specifications supplied by the Division, and we continue to assume that <br />recharge in this area has yet to occw. It has also been noted that numerous <br />faults were evident in the coal seam to the West from this well's location. <br />There may be an effect from this activity on the recharge process. <br />Laboratory reports from 1995 are presented on the following pages. Each <br />well was double sampled, as per the procedwe described, for the entire year <br />(fow quarterly samplings). In reviewing the report, parameter values denoted <br />by the "A" following the well designation refer to the first five bailer volume <br />pwging procedwe. Parameter values denoted by the "B" following the well <br />designation refer to the three well volume pwging, followed by the second <br />five bailer volume pwging procedwe. All well samples appear to be <br />consistent with past analyses. <br />• The field analysis data can be found following the laboratory reports. <br />AHR-1995 -35- STIPULATION #5 <br />
