Home My WebLink About20211105_DMF_emailFrom: Harrison, James A To: Parr, Adam Subject: Re: Foster Forbes Mine Monitoring Date: Friday, November 5, 2021 11:02:19 AM Attachments: Outlook-xi44zp 1e.ina Good morning Adam, I just spoke with Anne about this, and it sounds like the meeting they had with the higher ups just involved passing along some of the background info and a brief discussion about our comments. I told Anne about the increased monitoring, and we both agree that that should alleviate the discharge concerns mentioned in the comment memo (specifically, the impact on SAV). With that in mind, DMF would be amenable to permit issuance, with the increased monitoring included as a permit requirement. I'm not sure who receives the monitoring reports (if any are submitted), but it would be helpful to have those passed along to DMF so that we can maintain a record for our use. This also brought up a discussion of DMF potentially conducting our own mine monitoring as a side project for me, if one is close enough to my office and could have potential impacts. It would mainly be for educational purposes, but the results could be used to develop our own requirements in the future that include specific monitoring requirements, water quality levels, etc. so that we've got something in writing to be used for future permits. That'll be something we can discuss in more depth later, if a permit comes up that would be a good candidate for that project. Thanks Adam, and feel free to reach out if you've got any additional questions/concerns/etc. Have a good weekend!

The applicant has agreed to more frequent monitoring than what is listed in the NPDES Stormwater permit. The Condition below is what has been added to our permit. "Any sampling required under the NPDES Stormwater permit will be performed as required in the NPDES permit, or monthly, whichever is more frequent, and will be provided annually with the Annual Reclamation Report." I look forward to hearing back from you tomorrow.
