Lochhead <br />Executive DIlMOr <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Duector <br />The Division has completed review of the responses submitted by Greystone, Inc. to the <br />Division's questions raised as a result of review of the 1995 Annual Hydrology Report for <br />the Golden Eagle and New Elk mines. <br />The Division has no further questions at this time. As discussed with Cathy Begej of <br />Greystone, the new copy of Exhibit 1 is difficult to read due to technical problems during <br />reproduction. Cathy agreed that this would be rectified in future reports.. Also, a page <br />numbering problem was discussed, and new pages will be provided for replacement in the <br />near future. A number of sampling visits were missed during the 1995 reporting period. <br />While none of these samples individually were critical for identification of impacts, the <br />Division reminds Basin to strive to complete monitoring exactly as set forth by the approved <br />hydrologic monitoring program. If access, personnel, or equipment difficulties aze <br />encountered, please contact the Division as soon as possible. <br />Overall, no appazent impacts or trends were observed in the data reported. Some <br />inconsistencies will be field checked by the Division during the next 5eld season. Given the <br />reclaimed status of the Golden Eagle mine, future impacts appear unlikely at this operation. <br />If you have questions, please call me. <br />Sincer ly, <br />~'~„~- <br />Ken A.
