S <br />the Division requests that BRL revise the permit text in Sections 2.05.6(6) and 2.04.7(3) to reflect <br />a worst possible consequence of material damage and diminution of reasonably foreseeable use to <br />the Terror Creek Reservoir due to mine induced seismicity possibly causing the Bruce Park <br />landslide to negatively affect the Terror Creek Reservoir. Permit text in Sections 2.05.6(6)(b)(i)(c), <br />(b)(ii), (b)(iii), (d)(i), (f)(v)(B) and 2.04.7(3) need to be revised. <br />Additionally, based on information from the Division of Water Resources, it also appears that the <br />worst possible consequences for the Bruce Park main dam and saddle dam will not result in <br />material damage or diminution of reasonably foreseeable use. Therefore, the permit text in Section <br />2.05.6(6) for the Bruce Park Dams appears to be in order. However, the Division requests that the <br />contingency subsidence control plan for the Bruce Park Dams mentioned under Rule <br />2.05.6(6)(d)(i) and described in Section 2.05.6(6)(f) be retained. <br />Rule 2.05 <br />5. Please update the Probable Hydrologic Consequences section 2.05.6(3) of the permit application <br />to include a discussion of the hydrologic impacts of the operations proposed in PR-10. <br />The Division has no further concerns. BRL responded that no PHC updates were needed. The <br />Division agrees. <br />6. In order to assess the hydrologic impact of proposed limited extraction beneath a portion of <br />Hubbard Creek, the Division requests that BRL develop a mine water inflow monitoring program, <br />per Rule 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv). The monitoring program would include a survey of locations and rates <br />of flow of seeps in the limited extraction zone beneath Hubbard Creek. The appropriate permit <br />text needs to be revised to describe this monitoring program, including the methodology, a seep <br />location map, seep rate of flow measurements and the frequency of monitoring and reporting. <br />The Division has no further concerns. In the December 28, 2006 submittal, BRL revised page <br />2.05-78 to include a semi-annual seep monitoring program, the results of which are to be <br />submitted in the Annual Hydrology Report. However, the Division requested that the seep <br />monitoring and reporting frequency be on a monthly basis until it is established that the <br />development mining beneath Hubbard Creek is not affecting Hubbard Creek. BRL revised page <br />2.05-78 accordingly in the January 30, 2008 submittal. <br />7. In Section 2.05.6(6) (a) of the permit application, please add the prehistoric campsite designated <br />as 5DT1326 to the inventory of structures within the permit and adjacent areas. <br />The Division has no further concerns. Page 2.05-99 was revised in the submittal dated December <br />28, 2006. <br />8. Under Rule 2.05.6(6) (a), please add depictions and annotations of the Terror Creek Ditch and the <br />Deer Trail Ditch to Map 9, as they no longer appear to be presented on this map. <br />The Division has no further concerns. BRL pointed out that the ditch depictions are already on the <br />approved Map 23, Water Rights Location. <br />3
