Loloff Mine <br />TR -0 1 Adequacy Letter <br />Page 2 of 6 <br />5. The revision submittal included calculations to estimate the effects of the dewatering of the <br />pit to address the complaint from Mr. and Mrs. Larry Monroe. Please indicate the impacted <br />Monroe groundwater well on the graphical representation of the estimated cone of <br />depression /radius of influence resulting from the dewatering activities. <br />6. Please commit to providing the Division a copy of the approved well permit for the site. <br />Rule 6.4.7 Exhibit G - Water Information <br />7. Rule 6.4.7(2) states if the operation is expected to directly affect surface or groundwater <br />systems, you shall: <br />(a) Locate on the map (in Exhibit C) tributary water courses, wells, springs, <br />stock water ponds, reservoirs, and ditches on the affected land and on adjacent lands <br />where such structures may be affected by the proposed mining operations; <br />(b) Identify all known aquifers; and <br />(c) Submit a brief statement or plan showing how water from dewatering <br />operations or from runoff from disturbed areas, piled material and operating surfaces will <br />be managed to protect against pollution of either surface or groundwater (and, where <br />applicable, control pollution in a manner that is consistent with water quality discharge <br />permits), both during and after the operation. <br />8. Please provide an estimate of the project water requirements including flow rates and annual <br />volumes for the development, mining and reclamation phases of the project. <br />9. Please indicate the projected amount from each of the sources of water to supply the project <br />water requirements for the mining operation and reclamation. <br />10. The revision states as part of the mitigation plan for recharge Loloff Construction, Inc. is <br />pumping into the Monroe Wetland Pond to recharge the aquifer to mitigate the effects of the <br />dewatering of the pit. Please provide a signed agreement between the Operator and the <br />Monroe's allowing the Operator to discharge water into the Monroe pond to recharge the <br />aquifer. <br />11. During the Division's inspection on June 3, 2013, the Operator was discharging water into <br />the ditch located southwest of the site. Please state if water is still being discharged into <br />this structure or if all dewatering discharge is pumped into the Monroe pond. If the ditch in <br />the southwest corner is being used, please provide consent to discharge water into this <br />structure. If water is discharged into a ditch that is unlined, it may be prone to erosion if <br />the discharge rates exceed the carrying capacity of the ditch. The Operator must submit <br />documentation to the Division for review as to the proposed maximum discharge rate into <br />
