Lochhead <br />E>,ecunve Director <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Director <br />While reviewing the above referenced (ile it was noted that in an October 20, 1992 letter from <br />Tuttle Applegate to the Division the following commitment was made as part of the 83d Joint Venture <br />Permit: <br />B(b) The groundwater level temperature, and conductivity of each monitoring well and the two <br />private wells (if owner permission is obtained) will be monitored and submitted with each <br />annual report. Baseline data monitoring will begin as soon as possible prior to commence <br />of mining and continue concurrent with mining. If no significant differences occur <br />between the baseline data and the mining monitoring data for a period of two years, the <br />monitoring for temperature and conductivity may be suspended based on review by <br />Division staff. <br />This requirement was reiterated in the Division's Permit Issuance letter of January 27, 1994 -paragraph 2: <br />'The operator is reminded that quarterly ground water monitoring of private and monitoring wells <br />is a requirement o(this permit. Quarterly reports are to be delivered to the Division pursuant to <br />the monitoring programs agreed [o on the permit.' <br />I have reviewed our correspondence file and your January 1995 and January 1996 annual reports and have <br />nol found any ground water monitoring reports. <br />The Division will wait until April 20, 1996 to receive these reports. If they are not received by that date <br />you may be issued a "Reason to Believe a Violation Exists" notice for not following the conditions of the <br />83d Joint Venture Permit. <br />If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~ ,..e,~.~-~ <br />1Gregg R.
