I refer to the <br />'Regulations of the Colorado Mined Lana Reclamation Board for Coal Mining' rule 4.Ob.f 3(1) <br />Grpund Wetar, part a) which states that: <br />C~ <br />'Groundwater levels, infiltration rates, subsurface flow end storage <br />charecterlstlcs, and the quality of ground water shall ba monitored in e <br />manner aooroved by the Divisio0,after consultation with the Division of <br />Wets Resources ....' (emphasis sddedl. <br />The Division of Water Resources In correspondence with you end DMG has provided <br />information regarding monitoring end observation walla permitted end regulated by DWR. <br />1 believe that DMG'a authority supersedes DWR'8 by virtue of this rule as well as 3.2 of <br />pWR's Water Well Conatructlon Rules if DMG chooses to Impose Its own rules in lieu of those <br />of DWR rogerding monitoring and observation wells. It's apparent that DMG'S rule 4.06.13(1) <br />eoMemplated considering DWR's requirements relating to monitoring end observation wells. <br />The Division of Water Resources in the specific Instance of monitoring end observation <br />wells covered under DMG's rule 4.05.13(11 defers authority to DMG, but will continue to <br />provide Information and specifics that would be required by DWR if it were permitting and <br />raguleting a monitoring and observation wall et the referenced site(s). <br />Xi': dtsr dur~, ,Disl4 <br />CRG:jmg:7417 <br />Sincerely, J~~~ <br />/sP,~O" <br />huck Roberts <br />Professional Engineer III <br />• ~ TOTAL P. 01 <br />
