Response: Based on no indication to the contrary in Adequacy Review #5 from the DRMS, <br />COAG Corporation will assume that its proposal for mine water sampling is acceptable to the <br />DRMS. <br />• A more detailed description of where bulk sampling will occur shall be provided. A regional <br />description as in such and such level and within such and such drift will be sufficient. <br />Response: Based on no indication to the contrary in Adequacy Review #5 from the DRMS, <br />COAG Corporation will assume that its more detailed description of where bulk sampling will <br />occur is acceptable to the DRMS. <br />• Describe to the best COAG Corporation's knowledge, where standing water is and where any <br />inflows may be. <br />Response: Based on no indication to the contrary in Adequacy Review #5 from the DRMS, <br />COAG Corporation will assume that its commitment to taking water samples within the mine <br />workings during bulk sampling is acceptable to the DRMS. <br />To the extent available, cross section(s) and aerial section(s) showing the extent of underground <br />workings shall be provide. (Of concern to the DRMS is any COAG Corporation's activities that <br />may causes flow or increase of flow or connection of waters from the Franklin Mine into <br />adjacent workings and there-by find its way to the ARGO Tunnel.) <br />Response: Please see the attached colored map that shows both a profile view and a plan <br />view (map view). (DRMS in Adequacy Review #5 has requested additional information, please <br />see below.) <br />• DRMS wants COAG Corporation to sample the mine water pool during bulk sampling, if such <br />sampling can be done safely. <br />Response: Based on no indication to the contrary in Adequacy Review #5 from the DRMS, <br />COAG Corporation will assume that its commitment to taking water samples within the mine <br />workings during bulk sampling is acceptable to the DRMS. <br />• DRMS would like COAG Corporation to more fully describe its proposed bulk sampling <br />activity. <br />Response: Based on no indication to the contrary in Adequacy Review #5 from the DRMS, <br />COAG Corporation will assume that its description as to how and where bulk sampling will <br />occur is acceptable to the DRMS. <br />As stated in a previous correspondence, the shaft closure documentation has been sent by COAG <br />Corporation's engineering consultant to your Ms. Erica Crosby. We understand that the Division <br />has concerns about the closures and some issues with construction. COAG Corporation will <br />ensure that these issues are addressed.
