Lang <br />Colstrip, MT 59323 DivisionDirecror <br />RE: 1995 Annual River Relocation Survey, <br />New Elk Mine, #C-81-012 <br />Dear Mr. Montgomery: <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology (Division) has completed <br />review of the 1995 Annual River Relocation Survey for the New Elk <br />Mine. <br />Comparison of 1995 data to 1994 survey results reveals possible <br />downcutting within the channel itself ranging from .03 feet to 1.0 <br />feet. This would fall within expected changes due to natural <br />erosion processes. River bank measurements show very slight <br />changes, likely due to normal survey error, No unusual or un- <br />natural changes were noted. Overall, this section of river shows <br />no un-desirable changes due to relocation. <br />Thank you for your diligent efforts to adhere to your approved <br />monitoring program. If you have questions, please call me. <br />Sinc rel~ `o' <br />J Kent A. Gorham <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />cc: Dan Hernandez, DMG <br />
