from the Sanborn Creek Fansite. Hubbard Creek Pond controls sediment from <br /> the Upper Hubbard Creek facilities area and the East Yard Pond controls <br /> sediment from the east yard of the Elk Creek facilities yard. One additional <br /> pond was approved for treatment of underground discharge from the Sanborn <br /> Creek portals and will be retained for use with the water treatment plant for the <br /> town of Somerset. Specific plans are found within section 6 of Exhibit 2.05-E3 <br /> in the PAP, (Vol. 10). All ponds are designed in compliance with Rule 4.05.6. <br /> E.

Impoundments <br /> Refer to Section D, Sedimentation Ponds, above. <br /> G. Surface and Ground Water Monitoring <br /> 1. The applicant will conduct monitoring of ground water in a manner approved <br /> by the Division. The ground water monitoring plan is specified on Page 2.04- <br /> 41of the PAP (4.05.13(1)). <br /> 2.
