2.05.6(3)(b) Hydrologic Monitoring Plan <br />Results of water quality and quantity monitoring and analyses will be reported to the Division on <br />an annual basis in the Annual Hydrologic Report. This Annual Hydrologic Report will cover <br />hydrologic years from October 1 of one year through September 30 of the next year. The report <br />will be submitted to the Division within six (6) months of the completion of the hydrologic year. <br />The required Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) DMR's will be submitted within 30 <br />days of the end of the reporting period. The submittal of quarterly water sampling results, which <br />became effective with the approval of TR -28 in August 1999 and included the results of pond <br />inspections, refuse pile inspections, surface water sampling, groundwater sampling and refuse <br />pile piezometer levels, was discontinued with the approval of TR -67. Final inspections of CRDA <br />#1 (January 2011) and CRDA #2 and RSRDA (December 2008) have been performed in <br />accordance with Rule 4.10.2(2)(a) and are no longer reported. All sediment ponds have been <br />reclaimed and final inspections have been performed. The Division will be notified within five (5) <br />days after receiving analyses of sample collections that indicate noncompliance with a permit or <br />standard. Where CDPS permit effluent limitation noncompliance has occurred, the analytic <br />results along with written notice of noncompliance will be forwarded to the Division. <br />Surface Water Monitorinq Plan <br />Surface water monitoring includes mine dewatering discharges. Past monitoring included <br />sediment pond discharges, the Colorado River quality, annual springs and seep surveys, and <br />monitoring flow in Jerry, Cottonwood, Rapid, and Coal Creeks. Surface water monitoring <br />locations are shown on Exhibit 56. <br />Sediment pond discharge was monitored only when pond dewatering occurred as a result of a <br />10 -year, 24-hour event or lesser event. A grab sample was taken from the pond discharge. All <br />sediment ponds have been reclaimed and no further discharges will occur. Mine dewatering <br />discharge points will be sampled in accordance with the CDPS governed by the State of <br />Colorado and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. The samples will be tested for the <br />parameters listed in Table 18-1. <br />The Operator's discharge Permit No. CO -0027146 included 5 mine dewatering discharge points. <br />Reclaimed Outfall 001 was located on the southeast bank of the Colorado River under the <br />conveyor suspension bridge. Outfall 002 is located on the southeast bank of the Colorado River <br />TR -67 18-1 Rev 11/15 <br />
