Here is the email with the comments provided by DWR. If you can address the
following by next Wednesday I'll see if we can get this wrapped up without sending
another ADI letter.
• How are you addressing areas B and C?
• Why aren't the wells addressed in the OM plan?
Thanks,
Adam Parr

Subject: Modification, Bent River Mine, Permit# 08-22
Dear Mr. Parr;
I am writing in response to your recent questions to Mr. Tim Newsome regarding the above
referenced modification. You have asked, "How are you addressing areas B and C?", and "Why
weren't the wells addressed in the OM Plan?".
Areas B and C will be pumped and dewatered in accordance with the permit conditions. It is
anticipated that water from B and C will be pumped into the previously mined areas (area A)
and held there until discharge is needed. Water will then be pumped from Area A into the
Roanoke River, in accordance with this modification request.
The wells were not addressed because they have never actually been functional. They were
installed by a previous property owner to potentially use to fill duck impoundment ponds, but
were never completed, and have never been in use. Pumps have never been installed, and
there is no electrical power to operate them. We are not sure why they were shown on the
original plan, but for all practical purposes, they have never actually existed. Any dewatering or
discharge of water will have no impact on the wells, because they have never been in use, nor
will they ever be used.
We appreciate the opportunity to address these questions with you. Please let us know if
you need any additional information.
Sincerely,
James Izzell
