i. The permit text on page 2.05 -36 (first paragraph, last sentence) should be revised to read: "Water monitoring <br />requirements as detailed above will be re- initiated approximately one year prior to the time the Operator <br />requests final bond release." Also the monitoring plan should be changed on page 2.05 -35 to include a full <br />suite analyses for bedrock wells. Based on the current approved monitoring plan, if Honeywood commences <br />the sampling this spring, sampling could be completed by the fall of 2012 following the annual fall full suite <br />analyses. These modifications to the approved plan must be made through a minor revision to the permit. <br />ii. Conduct the sampling and analyses in accordance with the approved plan as revised and submit the results to <br />the Division in a final water monitoring report/AHR. <br />iii. Submit a revised SL -3 application that includes a surface and groundwater quantity and quality impact <br />analysis in accordance with the 1995 DRMS Coal Mine Bond Release Guidelines (see page 12, Item 5). <br />This concludes the Division's preliminary review of the bond release application. The Division received proof of <br />publication on February 2, 2012. However the last date of publication will not take place until February 9, 2012. <br />Prior to determining the application complete, the Division must verify publication occurred on February 9, 2012 and <br />the completeness items listed above must be addressed. Once the application is deemed complete, the Division will <br />conduct a detailed review of the application. As indicated above, the issue regarding the Water Monitoring Plan will <br />need to be addressed to the Division's satisfaction prior to approval of the bond release. <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (303) 866 -3567 ext. 8120. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jared Ebert <br />Environmental Protection Specialist, DRMS <br />CC: Marcia Talvitie, DRMS <br />Sandy Brown, DRMS <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
