Rule: 2.05.6(3) Protection of Hydrological Balance
January 2016
Page 3
This rule addresses the evaluation and determination of probable hydrologic
consequences, the hydrologic reclamation plan, protection of surface water quality,
water rights, and control of discharge. The review was undertaken in regards to
consequences occurring after underground mining. Adherence to rules 2.05.6 and
4 are adequately addressed in the following:
o The Proposed Decision and Finding of Compliance for Roadside Portals SL -08
(October 2015)
o Annual Hydrology Report for October 2013 through September 2014
The Division finds that the measures taken and analysis performed have been
adequate to ensure protection of:
1. Surface water quality and quantity within permit area and adjacent to
permit area
2. Users rights to water
To summarize information in the above cited documents:
Outfall Number
Status
001
Ceased flowing in March 2002, reclaimed in 2008
002
Ceased flowing in March 2002, will remain as backup to
outfall 016
015
Never put to use
016
Perpetual and consistent volume of gravity discharge
from mine consisting of groundwater inflow
Ponds
Ponds 1, 2, 6, 8,
9, 10, 11 and 13
and sewage
lagoons
Reclaimed to Phase I
Pond 7
Reclaimed and requesting full Phase I and II release
Impoundments
No permanent impoundments will remain
Further hydrologic investigation for certain areas as outlined in SL -8 will be undertaken.
As per the conclusion of SL -8, there are no signs of erosion or instability. Pollution of
surface water is not occurring and is not expected to occur.
