A. J. Waldron -2- June 29, 1995 <br />drain monitoring information presented in the 1993 AHR was not <br />required by the permit and therefore should not be one of the <br />Division's concerns. <br />The monitoring requirements presented on page 2.04-30b do <br />require the french drains to be monitored for field parameters <br />which includes temperature. Therefore, a revised permit page <br />is not required. Bear will collect temperature information on <br />the french drains in the future. <br />4. The Division's review and comparison of the 1993 AHR and 1993 <br />DMR's precipitated questions regarding TSS and flow for the <br />1st and 2nd quarters of the 1993 DMR's. It appears from the <br />data available that the lab reports for the period April 19 <br />through May 3, 1993 were not available or utilized for the <br />preparation of the 2nd quarter DMR's. <br />It appears that about 24,000 gallons were discharged during <br />the 1st quarter 1993. According to the DMR, the 30 day <br />average was 720 gallons per day (720 X 30 = 21,600 gallons). <br />The 2nd quarter 1993 DMR had the 30-day average and the daily <br />maximum flows reversed. <br />5. "NT" was recorded for the water level of AA1 during the 4th <br />quarter 1992. "NT" means none taken probably due to a problem <br />with the water level instrument. <br />6. Enclosed is a table which presents the field parameters <br />collected for G-26A, G-26B and CR-12. This data is collected <br />by an outside consultant and it was not available during the <br />preparation of the 1994 AHR. <br />Oualitv Analysis and Predictions <br />1. The Division finds fault with the statement in the 1992 AHR <br />"although ground water test data is elevated over the previous <br />year, it appears it was not due to conditions associated with <br />the mining operations at the Bear #3 Mine". Taken in context <br />this statement does make sense. The paragraph preceding this <br />statement indicates that test data was elevated at both AA1 <br />and AA3. AA3 is the well that is presumably unaffected by the <br />mining operation, if both wells are "elevated" then it could <br />be concluded that it was not due to conditions associated with <br />the mining operations at the Bear #3 Mine. <br />Report Content Requirements <br />1993 Annual Hydrologic Report <br />1.
