RE: MID-CONTINENT MID-TERM REVIEW C-017-81
After review of the permit correspondence file and the Division' s findings
document and after consultation with Jim Herron, I have developed a more
refined idea of the man-power needs for completing the Mid-Term Review. The
major requirements in the Mid-Term Review will be a reevaluation of the
existing surface and ground water monitoring data with a subsequent rewriting
of the PHC and/or CHIS if applicable. The other major task will be a review
of the bond and checking of the assumptions made to derive the bond amount.
Many smaller tasks remain, which as the lead on the mine, I believe I will
have to undertake mainly by myself. Under the current plan, Mid-Continent is
submitting revisions to the permit application chapter by chapter. Chapter 1
concerning legal and financial information has already been submitted. A memo
is in typing to George Wear detailing my adequacy concerns for this chapter.
Other chapters requiring major re-writes will be Chapter 2 - Mine Operation
Plan which Doug Bowman has said is nearing completion. Also, Section 3 of
Chapter 3 on Hydrology description is being re-organized by the operator.
This basically entails reformatting of hydrology monitoring results to allow
for depiction of effects of mining on the hydrologic balance.
Another task nearing completion is review of stipulation responses for the
mine. I have reviewed personnel requirements for these tasks and, other than
myself, have identified the following needs for personnel . Jeff Deckler is
presently reviewing the bond calculations and amount required for reclamation
of the mine site. I have discussed with Sandy Brown and Susan Mowry the need
to review bond type submitted, the present bond entails a first lean on
property in Carbondale owned by the mine. Sandy has a document from Robert
Hyken detailing problems with this type of bond. I will need her or Susan to
review the present bond type and to determine if this bond is an acceptable
form. Also, we need to determine the frequency required for reappraisal of
the property we now hold.
As you've probably noted, I have not projected needing either Gregg Squire or
yourself in this Mid-Term Review. I had thought of Gregg mainly in terms of
reviewing revegetation or soils requirements and to-date have not identified
any needs in these areas. Please think about the personnel requirements as I
have stated and let me know if you have any ideas on ways I might utilize
Gregg or yourself.
