Ebert <br />February 2, 2012 <br />Page 3 <br />1) The permit text on page 2.05 -36 (first paragraph, last sentence) should be revised to read: <br />"Water monitoring requirements as detailed above will be re- initiated approximately one <br />year prior to the time the Operator requests final bond release." Based on the current <br />approved monitoring plan if Honeywood commences the sampling in the spring they could <br />be completed by the fall of 2012 following the annual fall full suite analyses. This plan <br />would not actually take a full year and I don't think two years of data are necessary or even <br />helpful at this point. The rule requires that they show seasonal variation which would be <br />accomplished with the recommended course of action. Also the monitoring plan should be <br />changed on page 2.05 -35 to include a full suite analyses for bedrock wells. I think these <br />changes can be done as a minor revision as opposed to a technical revision because we are <br />not reducing or terminating approved environmental monitoring programs (see definition for <br />technical revision). <br />2) Conduct the sampling and analyses in accordance with the approved plan as revised and <br />submit the results to the Division in a final water monitoring repordAHR. <br />3) Submit a revised SL -3 application that includes a surface and groundwater quantity and <br />quality impact analysis in accordance with the 1995 DRMS Coal Mine Bond Release <br />Guidelines (see page 12, Item 5). <br />Let me know if you have questions or require additional information. <br />C: Sandy Brown <br />Marcia Talvitie <br />
