Mike Boulay <br />85. The Division requests that MCM commit to continual monitoring for <br />threatened and endangered species and report any new findings to the <br />CDOW and CDRMS. <br />MCM: Please provide to MCM the DRMS rule that requires continual monitoring for <br />threatened and endangered species. <br />Rule 2.05.6(3) Protection of hydrological balance <br />86. On revised permit text page 2.05 -63, reference is made to Map 8 for the <br />hydrologic monitoring locations. Please change this reference to Figure 4.2 -2. <br />MCM: Please see revised page 2.05 -61. <br />-32- <br />October 16, 2012 <br />87. There is a typographical error in the second paragraph of page 2.05 -63. Please <br />change "dept" to "depth ". <br />MCM: Please see revised page 2.05 -61. <br />88. There is no bedrock groundwater monitoring proposed in the revised Hydrologic <br />Monitoring Plan (page 2.05 -63). Please explain how MCM will monitor and <br />ensure the protection of bedrock groundwater within both the proposed <br />permit and adjacent areas from potential adverse effects of the proposed <br />underground mining activities. See Item 14 above and provide a <br />substantive response. <br />MCM: See revised page 2.04 -21. <br />89. There is no proposed plan for laboratory analyses for the currently monitored <br />alluvial wells listed on page 2.05 -63 and there is no Groundwater Parameter List <br />provided. As described in Item 12 above in Section 2.04.7, the Division believes <br />that one additional monitoring point down gradient of the disturbance area <br />associated with the refuse pile is warranted. This well will serve to verify the <br />conclusions presented in the PHC for potential impacts to alluvial groundwater and <br />East Salt Creek. In order to substantiate the conclusions presented in Appendix N <br />— Probable hydrologic Consequences the Division is requesting that the alluvial <br />wells be included for quarterly laboratory analyses for at least one year to establish <br />baseline conditions. At a minimum the parameters included in the Leachate <br />and Mine Water Metal Analysis should be included on the parameter list. <br />Please update Section 2.05.6 with an appropriate groundwater parameter list <br />for laboratory analyses. <br />
