OF MINERALS <br />8 GEOLOGY <br />CERTIFIED MAIL -RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED P 120 595 704 <br />RE: Bulldog Project -Mineral County, CO <br />Results of Spring /Seep Site /nspection and Sampling <br />Dear Mr. Shuey: <br />This letter is in response to your letter dated May 29, 1998 (copy attached) <br />concerning additional conditions on the tracer injection plan portion of the stipulated <br />approval for Technical Revision No. 7 for the Bulldog Reclamation permit -File M- <br />77-215. In particular, condition 2. requires that the springs located at the toe of <br />the 9360 waste rock dump be placed on the tracer detection sampling list and that <br />one characterization sample from each spring [21 be collected and analyzed for the <br />same analysis parameters as currently used for the seepage from the 9360 adit. <br />Attached please find the water quality analytical results from samples collected <br />from the 2 seeps [DT-1; DT-2] along with the Chain of Custody forms. Also <br />attached is an extract from a trip report prepared by Water Management <br />Consultants (Jerry Rowe) describing observations and information collected in the <br />field during sampling of DT-2. Please note, among other items of interest, that B. <br />Boppe recalls these areas as showing spring/seepage flows at this location for a <br />number of years including during operation of the Bulldog Mine. The exact source <br />of the water, while not verified, is believed by him to be from the old original Windy <br />Gulch streambed. As you know, streamflow in Windy Gulch in this particular area <br />is conveyed by a culvert installation completed when the waste rock dump was <br />under development. <br />Thank you for your time and attention on this matter. If you have any questions, <br />please contact me in the San Francisco office. <br />Very Truly Yours, <br />Cc: ~/A. Sorenson -Colorado DMG, Denver <br />P.
