to give corrected dates for the application and issuance of Permit No. C-008-81, and include <br />a reference to the detailed history provided in Section 2.04.3. <br />Response - The requested correction has been made. <br />3. The second paragraph describing the 1979 survey states, "Site 5MN1257 has almost totally <br />been destroyed by previous mining disturbance, with nearly all of the site being disturbed." <br />This statement is at odds with language contained within the study, which says the site "has <br />also been impacted by ground disturbance from road construction, ranching and farming <br />activities" and that a portion of the site "has received less disturbance than much of the <br />surrounding area." Please review the text provided in the application and revise as <br />appropriate to remove contradictory statements. <br />Response - The text has been revised to remove contradiction. <br />4. A copy of the 1979 survey (revised January 17, 1980) has been included with the <br />application, as has a copy of the 1984 study by High Plains Consultants. However, the two <br />reports have not been numbered as attachments, and are not referenced in the Table of <br />Contents. Please modify the Table of Contents to include references to the 1980 and 1984 <br />reports as attachments. <br />Response - The two reports are included in Table of Contents of Section 2.04.4. These <br />reports are identified as Appendix 2.04.4-1 and Appendix 2.04.4-2 in the text of Section <br />2.04.4 and are included behind these tabs. <br />2.04.5 - General Description of Hydrology and Geology <br />1. In the second paragraph on page 4 of Section 2.04.5 there is an incomplete sentence or an <br />extra space that needs to be corrected. <br />Response - The error has been corrected <br />2. Under the discussion of Significance of Groundwater on pages 6 and 7 the information <br />presented is from 1970 and focuses on historic use. This seems somewhat outdated and should <br />be clarified with reference to present use. In Section 2.04.7 pages 11-13 there is a discussion <br />on present and potential use of groundwater, which seems more appropriate. Please add a brief <br />discussion to the significance of groundwater section that references the present and potential <br />use of groundwater and whether the historic consumptive use presented in Table 2.04.5-2 is <br />reflective of current conditions. <br />Response - Section 2. 04.5 has been revised to address these comments. A discussion of <br />recent consumptive use data is presented on page 9. <br />3. Please provide a Map 2.04.5(1) which addresses the requirements of 2.04.5(1). <br />Response -A new "Map 2.04.5-1 General Geology and Hydrology Map" has been provided <br />to address the requirements of 2.04.5(1). <br />Response to First Adequacy Review Page 12
