Re: Shell Exploration & Production Company, Notice of Ine?rlt (NOI) P-2010-026, Review
of Multi-Mineral RDD Lease, Second Notice of Deficiency.
Dear Mr. Posey,
The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) has reviewed the Shell Exploration &
Production Company response to the DRMS Notice of Deficiency letter dated February 23, 2011
regarding the Multi-Mineral RDD Lease Notice of Intent to Conduct Prospecting Operations
(NOI), No. P-2010-026, submitted December 30, 2010. All items other than item No. 6 have
been addressed by Shell's May 12, 2011 response to the Notice of Deficiency. Item No. 6 must
be addressed in order for the notice to be considered adequate to begin operations.
1. Initial review of the NOI submittal revealed that a hydrologic sampling and analysis plan
was not included with the original submittal. Please submit a hydrologic sampling and
analysis plan that complies with the requirements of Rules 3.1.6 and 3.1.7. Also, please
specify proposed reporting intervals.
• Response Adequate
2. Hydrology pad 138-4-298 is not identified/mislabeled on the East RD&D Pilot Facilities
Plan figure located in the figure section. Please provide a revised facilities layout figure
that clearly locates the 138-4-298 point of compliance.
• Response Adequate
3. Is the proposed location of a single L4 hydrology monitoring well sufficient to serve as
an "early warning" or should additional wells be installed to the northwest and southeast?
If no other wells are necessary please give a reason that explains why only one "early
warning" well is sufficient.
• Response Adequate
