Rule 2.04 Information on Environmental Resources <br />2. Please re-submit those permit text narrative pages submitted under Rule <br />2.04 (2.04-5 to 31, not all inclusive) with the changes required as a result of <br />the adequacy response to question #2 of the Divisions adequacy letter of <br />March 24, 2011 for TR-56 (below in italics). Pages 2.04-8 to 11 under PR- <br />02 are now in conflict with pages recently approved under TR-55. (please <br />also note page 2.04-8 is the second side of a two-sided page). Also, please <br />ensure that currently approved permit text narrative presenting baseline <br />information is retained to the extent that the information is still accurate and <br />representative for the expanded permit area. <br />Permit text narrative on pages 2.04-17 to 2.04-25 describe the groundwater <br />hydrology as required by Rule 2.04.7(1). Included in this section of text <br />narrative are brief statements with regard to the impacts due to mining. <br />While Rule 2.04.7(3) requires identification of the extent that the operation <br />may affect surface or underground sources of water put to beneficial use, <br />the detailed discussion of impacts should be quantified and summarized <br />under Rule 2.05.6(3), rather than included with the baseline hydrologic <br />information. Please also modify permit text on page 2.04-11 b indicating the <br />correct reference to the probable hydrologic consequences section (not <br />section 2.04.7). Permit text on 2.04-24 also identifies wells that could be <br />impacted. This type of information should be included and summarized in <br />the PHC section of the permit application. Rule 2.04.7(3) should focus <br />primarily on the alternative water supply available should contamination or <br />diminution occur and water rights owned or leased by the operation. Exhibit <br />8(4) is inadequate with regard to a summary of all hydrologic impacts that <br />are probable due to the proposed operations. Please review these pages <br />along with Exhibit 8(4) and include a detailed summary of the probable <br />hydrologic consequences of mining to surface and ground water quantity <br />and quality. This summary should address the probable; <br />• Impacts to groundwater quantity (both wells and springs) from subsidence; <br />• Impacts of mining to groundwater quality; <br />• Impacts of mine water inflow and subsequent discharge to surface water quality; <br />• Impacts of subsidence to surface water quantity; and <br />• Impacts of mine water consumption to surface water users <br />3. Page v, List of Figures is missing TR-55 Bates Portals figures 5a and 17a. <br />4. Page vii, List of Exhibits will now need to be page viii due to the expansion of <br />the map list.
