The reports were <br /> received on October 17, 2019. The Division finds the reports to be in compliance with <br /> the following Rules: <br /> Rule 4.05.13(2)(i)— Samples are measured accurately and record the quality and <br /> quantity of the water discharged from the permit area. <br /> Rule 4.05.13(2)(ii)—Discharges occurred from DP-1 (Outfall 00 1-A/MN-0 1), <br /> SDH-3/5 (Outfall 026-A/026-W/MN-26), the B-Seam Dewatering System No. 1 <br /> (Outfall 029-A/029-W/MN-29) and the Sewage Treatment Plant(Outfall 045-A) <br /> during the 3rd quarter of 2019. The samples collected from 001-A, 026-A, 029-A <br /> and 045-A were below the maximum allowable values or within acceptable value <br /> ranges. It was noted in the 3rd quarter DMRs that 026-W failed WET Testing for <br /> the quarter. This has been documented in previous DMR reports. Blue Mountain <br /> Energy, Inc. is working to get an amendment approved to include an additional <br /> discharge point to 026-A. This discharge point would be direct to the White <br /> River for the water discharging from 026-A. <br /> Rule 4.05.13(2)(iii)—Discharge Monitoring Reports are received on a quarterly <br /> basis and filed with the Division within 90 days of the sample collection. <br /> This concludes the Division's review of the 2019 3rd Quarter Discharge Monitoring <br /> Reports.
