RE: Wyoming Fuels Surface and Ground Water Monitoring Progress
for the New Elk and Golden Eagle Mines
I have reviewed Dave Stout' s letter of August 6, 1995 and have the following
corlments addressing his numbered concerns.
1 . Stipulation No. 8 of the New Elk Permit Revision has been revised as
shown on the enclosed monitoring requirements list.
2. CCAW-1 and ACAW-1 were inadvertently omitted from the list. Wyoming
Fuels should continue monitoring these as required on the attached sheet.
3. The long list has been dropped from the monitoring requirements. The
Division agrees with the point that the present data shows no probleri
with these parameters. Also, the mining operation will continue in the
same seams as previously disturbed and the surface operations are such
that no new sources for these parameters should be present.
4. Springs and seeps numbered 12 through 19 were all listed as sources of
livestock and wildlife water. For this reason, it is important that the
springs and seeps be monitored at least on an annual basis as the mining
activity has the potential to affect these water sources.
After further review of the spring and seep survey, it was noted that
Spring No. 14 feeds a stockpond in Apache Canyon. Flow could not be
measured due to the ponding. However, the Division requires that in the
future a reference point on the pond embankment be established whereby
water level in the pond can be noted during the annual survey.
A,:gust surveying of the springs is appropriate for the area due to the
fait that highest precipitation for the area occurs during June, July a.id
Nuyusc supplying recharge to the aquifers.
Stipulation No. 12 of the New Elk Findings and Stipulation No. 10 of the
Golden Eagle Findings are revised as follows to include the present
r,onitoring plan for both mines .
