Map 2.04,7 -1 and Map 2.05.3(3) -1 show several surface water bodies within the permit area. However, there is no discussion of these water bodies in the Site Specific Surface Water Information section or in the Probable Hydrologic Consequences section of Section 2.04.7 and 2.05.6(3). Please revise the appropriate permit text under Rule 2.04.7(2)(a) to include a description, including ownership and use, of these water bodies. Depending on their use, Rule 2.04.7(3), requiring alternate water supply information, may be applicable and these water bodies may need to be added to the surface water hydrology monitoring program required under Rule 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv). In addition, if water rights are involved, then, those rights need to be protected under Rule 4.05.15, Please revise the text where necessary. A discussion of the ponds was added, and the PHC discussion has been removed from Section 2.04.7. rr�rrr r evoli7ed in Iiti %a i X 1 response. 12. As shown in the surface water monitoring data sheets in Appendix 2.04.7 -2; monitoring sites SW -N202 and SW -N203 experienced flows throughout the year but no full water quality analyses were completed.. Please explain. Item resolve in 111(�17®2011 response. 13. In Table 2.04.7 -5 on page 17 of Section 2.04.7, surface water monitoring station SW -N205 is described as being inflow for Glasier Draw. However, referring to the topographic contour lines on Map 2.04.7 -1, it appears that runoff from this site would flow southwest into Meehan Draw, rather than into Glasier Draw. Please explain. In the May -2011 response, WFC responded that SW -N205 is located on ail irrigation ditch which flows northward. The irrigation ditch appears on Map 2.04.7 -1 of the Dec -2011 response. Item resolved ire Uay-2111 and 3 c -201 l responses. 14. In the last full paragraph on page 23 of Section 2.04.7, reference is made to pond NHN -001 and ponds NHN -002 through NHN =004. Please revise this text to show that there are three ponds. tent r evoli =curl iii i1 rt1 # -2 i11 r sl)rrnst 15: In several instances in the permit application, reference is made to baseline surface water hydrology data being located in the New Horizon 1 Area and the New Horizon 2 Area permit applications. Please include all baseline information relevant to the proposed New Horizon North Mine in the New Horizon North Mine permit application. Additional water monitoring data from the NHl Mine was added to Appendix 2.04.7 -2 in the May- 2011 submittal. However; please explain why baseline surface water monitoring data from the NI-12 Mine that is referenced in the New Horizon North permit application was not submitted as well.
