Re: Bowie Plo. 2 Mine
Dear Mr. Berry:
Thank-you for taking time to meet with me on Friday to discuss the
proposed permit application for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. The purpose
of the meeting was to solicit the Division's guidance regarding the
baseline water monitoring program for the proposed permit and
adjacent areas. The following discussion will summarize my
understanding of the Division's input on the water monitoring
program.
Bedrock Wells
There are currently 13 bedrock wells on the property completed as
follows:
1. Upper D-Seam - 5 wells (13, 15, 16, 25, 38)
2. Overburden to upper D-Seam - 5 wells (39, 42, 49, 52, 54)
3. Overburden to lower B-Seam - 1 well (55)
4. Rollins Sands tone - 1 well (34B)
5. Overburden - 1 well (34C)
The Division indicated that a maximum of three wells from each
aquifer needed to be sampled. The Division recommended that 3
samples per year be obtained from each bedrock monitoring well.
The samples would have to be collected during periods when the site
is accessible, April through November. Therefore, a logical
sampling schedule would be April, July and October. Samples will
be analyzed for field parameters and full suite.
Wirings
Nine springs and seeps have been identified on the property. The
Division recommended that the springs be monitored monthly from
April through November for field parameters. The Division also
requested that we obtain two or three full suite analyses from each
spring during the year.
