Box 27950 Division "' and Sa ety n, <br />27950 RCR #27 Mining <br />Oak Creek, Colorado 80467 <br />RE: Monitoring Well Abandonment/Transfer Ownership, Edna Mine <br />Dear Mr. and Mrs. Long: <br />Chevron Mining Inc. (Chevron) has contracted WWC Engineering (WWC) to assist in <br />attaining bond release for the former Edna Mine, Permit Number C-80-001, located in Routt <br />County, Colorado. The Edna Mine is in permanent cessation, reclamation is nearly complete, <br />and the site is approaching potential final bond release. Prior to and during mining activities <br />numerous monitoring wells were drilled within and extending outside of the permit boundary. <br />The monitoring wells are constructed of steel/PVC casing ranging in diameter from 1"-6" and <br />depth from tens to hundreds of feet. Most monitoring wells are completed with a 6" stick-up <br />above ground and a protective housing at the well head, however some wells are flush with <br />the ground. The construction of the monitoring wells was for observation not production. <br />The monitoring wells had numerous purposes including attaining water level and/or water <br />quality data. The referred monitoring wells have since been removed from the Edna Mine <br />groundwater monitoring program. These monitoring wells need to be either plugged and <br />abandoned in accordance with state regulations or transferred in ownership rights to the <br />current property owner prior to final bond release. The following monitoring wells are located <br />on your property (Figure 1): <br />• TR-1 <br />Monitoring well TR-1 has not been observed in the field and has been expected to have been <br />flooded by Trout Creek. Information regarding this well has been enclosed. (Table 1) Those <br />monitoring wells not located during our field inspection are assumed to have been plugged <br />and abandoned or destroyed by mining or other activities. However, should you as a <br />landowner locate such a well within 5 years of this notice and you desire the well to be <br />plugged and abandoned, Chevron commits to performing this action. <br />
