~~ <br />BRL states that no samples were collected from the small area exemptions (SAES) located <br />within the permit area. Page 2.0~-32 of the permit states that BRL will monitor the flow from <br />the SAES to assure compliance with Rule 4.052(3), and the applicant will use its best efforts <br />to obtain samples. With the exception of the pump station located near Deer Trail Ditch, BRL <br />provides no explanation for the lack of sampling at the SAE locations. Please explain why <br />samples were not collected from the SAE areas. If appropriate, provide revised page(s). <br />2. A full suite sample was not provided for the Deer Trail Ditch (downstream location) during the <br />second quarter of 1998. Please submit the required data or provide an explanation for the lack <br />of monitoring. <br />3. Quarterly field pazameters and semi-annual full suite analyses were not provided for DH-34B. <br />BRL provided comments that the bailer leaked during attempts to sample, and in the fourth <br />quarter there was too much sediment. From the information provided, it appears that there is <br />approximately 250 feet of standing water in the drill hole. This appears to be a viable well and <br />an adequate sample should be obtained. If necessary, please consider redeveloping the well to <br />remove the accumulated sediment. <br />4. According to the permit document, Ponds 1 through 5 will be monitored quarterly. The <br />following information should be collected for the ponds: 1) inflow, 2) outflow, and 3) water <br />level or depth of water. Inflow and outflow have not been measured consistently. Inflow <br />was only provided for Pond 1, and outflow was not provided for any of the ponds. Please <br />provide an explanation for the lack of inflow and outflow monitoring. Please provide . <br />revised report pages, if deemed appropriate. <br />1998 Annual Subsidence Report <br />The subsidence monitoring report for 1998 consists of a one summary page. Mining initiated in <br />1997 had not impacted any of the concerned springs, ponds or landslides as of the completion of <br />this annual subsidence report. <br />Visual inspection of the known historic and modem landslides was conducted by David Jenkel. <br />No new or rejuvenated landsliding was discerned during Mr. Jenkel's inspections in June and <br />November of 1998. <br />1998 Annual Mine Inflow Report <br />Mine inflow information was reported for 1998. There was no measurable mine water inflow <br />during 1998, and the mine has not discharged any water from the undergroundworkings.The Mine <br />Inflow Report is acceptable as submitted. <br />
