<br /> ~ II II ~II ~~I ~I~~ ~ ~I ~ <br /> 999 <br />INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br />DMS/ON OF M/NERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />TO: HARRY RANNEY <br />FROM: Dan Hernandez `~1~ <br />DATE: December 16, 1996 <br />RE: Review of 1995 AHR for New Horizon Mines 1 and 2 <br />Western Fuels-Colorado, Permit No. C-81-008 <br />My review of the New Horizon permit for Mine 1 and 2, and of the 1995 AHR, found numerous <br />discrepancies existing within the permit, and between the permit and the AHR. These discrepancies <br />made it difficult to determine exactly what the New Horizon Water monitoring and analysis program <br />is. Because of these discrepancies, it was also difficult to determine if Western Fuels is conducting <br />its approved water monitoring and analysis program. The following discrepancies need to be resolved. <br />1. Two sections of permit text exist in the Tab 15 section of Volume F. The first section runs <br />from Pages IS-1 to 15-18. The second runs from 15-19 to 15-24. Are both sections still <br />pertinent? If the first section isn't pertinent anymore, should it be removed? <br />2. Appendix 15-1 is missing from the permit and appears to need replacing back into the permit. <br />Appendix 15-1 is referred to on Page 15-1, Volume F, Tab 15, in the paragraph entitled <br />"Nucla East Baseline Surface Water Monitoring Program". Appendix 15-1 is also referred to <br />on Page 15-4, in the paragraph entitled "Current Surface Water Monitoring Activities for Nucla <br />and Nucla East Mining Area". <br />3. In the first paragraph on Page 15-4, it is stated that "the full suite (surface) water quality <br />analysis (for Mine 1) has been changed from montlily to semi-annual". On Page 15-20, <br />however, Table 15-7 lists the frequency for full suite analysis as for Mine 1 quarterly, rather <br />than semi-annual. Which is the correct frequency? <br />4. In the second paragraph on Page 15-4, a portion of a sentence reads "...water level recorders <br />at sites SW-N104 and SW-106 measure water level stage in the west lateral irrigation ditch. <br />..". On Page 15-21, however, in Table 15-7, the permit indicates the two West lateral Ditch <br />monitoring stations are SW-N 104 and SW-N105. SW-N106 is not listed in either Table 15-7 <br />of the permit or Table 1 of the 1995 AHR. How many west Lateral Ditch monitoring stations <br />are there, and what are the site designations? <br />5. In the third paragraph on Page 15-4, reference is made to "Monitor Site SW-N107". This site, <br />though identified on Map "Exhibit 7-1", is not listed in either Table 15-7 on Page 15-21 or in <br />the Table 1 of the 1995 AHR. Are we supposed to be getting data from this monitoring point? <br />
