^ r <br /> Letter to Jay Jones -8- November 29 1995 <br /> cannot be ruled out, and that ground water discharges, along with <br /> fugitive dust, would not be completely captured by the treatment <br /> system. Climax Mine ground water issues are being handled through <br /> technical revision TR-08 that is currently under review. <br /> 18. Mine pumps inby of the Storke Portal are alluded to in the EPP <br /> application. Narrative included in Appendix F to the application <br /> indicates that if these pumps are down, that discharge from the <br /> portal would be collected by the east flume to the Storke Waste <br /> Water Pumping Station. Please provide details on the location and <br /> operation of these pumps. <br /> 19. In section 5.3 .2 of the EPP application, it is stated that <br /> precipitates (water treatment sludges) are contained within the <br /> Mayflower impoundment. Please correlate the rate of accumulation of <br /> the precipitates with the storage capacity available in the <br /> Mayflower impoundment. <br /> 20. In section 5.4. 2 of the EPP application, it ,is stated that the Eagle <br /> Park Reservoir seepage collection and pump station will remain in <br /> place and fully functional until such time as seepage from beneath <br /> the dam meets water quality standards for discharge. Once the EPP <br /> application is approved by the Division, operation of the Eagle Park <br /> Reservoir seepage collection and pump station will be a performance <br /> requirement of the Permit and Reclamation Plan. Discontinuance of <br /> operation and removal of the Eagle Park Reservoir seepage collection <br /> and pump station would have to be preceded by an approval from the <br /> Division in accordance with the terms of Rule 7.2 . 11 of the Mineral <br /> Rules and Regulations. This would be the case for all of the <br /> Environmental Protection Facilities identified in the EPP. <br /> 21. In section 5.5. 1 of the EPP application, the statement is made that <br /> a ground water monitoring well (#5 Shaft Monitoring Well) has been <br /> installed adjacent to the pump station to monitor the quantity and <br /> quality of water at No. 5 Shaft. It was the Division's <br /> understanding that the #5 Shaft Monitoring Well was not completed in <br /> such a way that it could be used for monitoring water quality. <br /> Please clarify this issue. <br /> As we have discussed, a meeting to discuss issues related to the EPP's and <br /> the ground water programs for Henderson and Climax would be beneficial and <br /> productive. Please contact me to schedule such a meeting, or if you have <br /> any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Allen C. Sorenson <br /> Reclamation Specialist C:\WP51\CLIMEPP.ADQ <br />
