DM&O of and Safety n,
The DRMS' letter dated March 5, 2012 transmitted its adequacy review for the referenced minor
revision. Following are Honeywood Coal Company's (HON) responses to the DRMS comments
and concerns:
1. In accordance with Rule 2.03.4(2), the Operator indicated in the MR the address for
Honeywood Coal Company is 2120 Crestmoor Road, Suite 3020, Nashville, TN 87215.
However, the Division checked this information with the Applicant Violator System
(AVS) and it indicated the address for the Honeywood Coal Company is 95 White Bridge
Road, No. 404, Nashville, TN 87205. Please confirm which address is correct? If the
address provided in the minor revision is incorrect please send a revised page with the
correct information.
HON - The correct address is 2120 Crestmoor Road, Suite 3020, Nashville, TN 87215.
2. The minor revision updated the language of the current approved monitoring plan. This
was done as a result of the Divisions preliminary review of the pending Phase III bond
release (SL -03). The Division preliminary review requested the Permittee to update the
plan to include a full suite analysis for the bedrock wells. However, the updated plan
submitted only committed to measuring conductivity semi - annually (Monitoring
Schedule #2). The applicant will need to revise page 2.05 -35 and commit to conducting a
fall full suite analyses for bedrock wells.
HON - Page 2.05 -35 was revised to add a fall full suite analyses for bedrock wells.
3. Well completion information was requested back in July of 1998 and again in the
Division's preliminary review of SL -03 and was not provided. This information is critical
to assessing groundwater quantity and quality impacts. Well completion information is
unavailable in the permit file other than a "typical" drawing for an alluvial well and a
bedrock well and the total depth of the wells listed next to the well location for some but
not all wells. Please submit well completion information.
