Comment 7 - Note 8 of the 2008 AHR page 5 and future AHRs will reflect flow and field <br />parameters. Lack of field parameter analysis was an oversite and will be reflected in future <br />AHRs. <br />Comment 8 - D2B2 has been added to the page 5 of the 2008 AHR. Due to the sealing of the <br />Hubbard shaft in 2008, the sealing of the western district and discontinuance of pumping, no <br />further analytical data will be collected. We expect borehole D2B2 will be sealed in 2009. <br />Comment 9 - The 2008 AHR has been modified to report both total recoverable and dissolved <br />iron. <br />Comment 10 - The parameter alkalinity is listed on the data sheets as "HC03" <br />Comment 11 - The flow information for site S-1 has been modified in the 2008 AHR. <br />Comment 12 - The 2008 AHR has been modified to report the additional constituents. <br />Comment 13 - The 2008 AHR has been modified to report the 2007 H-10 well information to <br />show that the well was dry in 2007. <br />Comment 14 - The 2007 AHR information on page 12 describes the damage to Well BC-1 by <br />parked vehicles and the efforts to correct the problem. Further, the 2008 AHR information <br />provides (pages 12 - 13) an update for the remediation of the well and water data obtained during <br />late 2008. <br />Comment 15 - The 2008 AHR Exhibit 2 contains an additional summary table for D2B and <br />D2B2 water depth information. The primary purpose of the B-2 and B-3 information is to <br />analyze the variable stream flows in Bear Creek for the Federal land management agencies and <br />consider if there is any adverse effects related to mining activities. Leaving the limited B-2, B-3 <br />information in the text section appears appropriate for the intended audience. <br />Comment 16 - For the ephemeral steams S-1, C-1 and HN-1, the fact that there is no flow in <br />June is still valuable "data" regarding the general flow characteristics of the drainages. We will <br />consider the Division's suggestion to collect samples earlier in the quarter. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions concerning our comments <br />Sincerely, <br />k. <br />??mes A.
