RE: Goose Haven Reservoir #2; DRMS File No. M-2010-071; Adequacy Review - 02
Dear Mr. Asquith,
The Division has identified several other comments and questions that must be addressed prior to
the Division's decision due date. Please be advised that if you are unable to satisfactorily
address any concerns identified in this review before the decision date, it will be your
responsibility to request an extension of the review period. If there are outstanding issues
that have not been adequately addressed prior to the end of the review period, and no
extension has been requested, the Division will deny this application.
6.4.7 Exhibit G - Water Information
The Division has completed the review of the Applicant's Groundwater Impact Analysis and
concurs with the findings in the report. The Division requests the Applicant submit a
groundwater monitoring plan which will be implemented by the Operator to verify the
presence or absence of impacts to the groundwater system in the affected land and
surrounding area throughout the life of the operation. At a minimum, the monitoring plan
should include the location of monitoring stations, frequency of water table elevations to be
collected, commitments for reporting measurements to the Division, water level criteria that
will be used to determine when an adverse affect to groundwater has occurred, and
commitments for mitigation in the event the adverse impact criteria are exceeded.
As previously mentioned, if you are unable to provide satisfactory responses to any inadequacies
prior to April 15, 2011, it will be your responsibility to request an extension of time to allow
for continued review of this application. If there are still unresolved issues when the decision
date arrives and no extension has been requested, the application will be denied.
