The report covers the. <br />water year October 1, 2003 through September 30, 2004. I am requesting.a hydroldgist <br />review for PHC compliance evaluation. Jim Burnell has done this review in the past. <br />~~ <br />The format and content of the report is largely consistent with previous reports, with the- <br />addition of several diagrams that depict data trends at various monitoring locations over <br />time. Monitoring has been conducted at the locations and in accordance with the schedule <br />in the approved permit. I do not see any apparent discrepancies or inconsistencies in the <br />data. Data trends over time, as well as data from the 2004 sampling appear to me to be <br />consistent with PHC projections. <br />I have identified no concerns to be evaluated by the hydrologist as a part of the PHC <br />compliance review this year. <br />Please forward my request for PHC compliance review to Jim (or other hydrologist of your <br />choosing). You should already have received a copy of the AHR submittal in the Denver <br />office. <br />Thanks. <br />• <br />Office of Office of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines Geological Survey <br />
