Information provided by the applicant with respect to ground water in the permit area <br /> can be found in 4.2.2 through 4.2.4 of Volume I of the permit application. The <br /> monitoring plan is described in Section 4.2.4, and monitoring parameters are <br /> specified in Table 4.2-15 of the PAP. <br /> As discussed in the Probable Hydrologic Consequences (PHC) section of this <br /> document, no significant effects to bedrock or alluvial ground water systems are <br /> anticipated for this operation. The applicant will conduct monitoring of ground <br /> water in a manner approved by the Division to verify the projections of the PHC. <br /> The ground water monitoring plan is as follows(4.05.13(1)): <br /> 1. Quarterly monitoring of alluvial wells GW-1 and GW-9 for static <br /> water level, pH,temperature, and specific conductance. <br /> 2. Water quality sampling of mine water discharges as required by <br /> CDPS permit. <br /> 3. Monitoring of all non-seep inflows into the mine to include source, <br /> quantity, duration and quality (pH, electrical conductance, and <br /> temperature). <br /> 4. Monitoring of quantities of water discharged from the mine, <br /> consumed in the mine, and imported for use in the mine. <br /> Results of the quarterly ground water monitoring are submitted to the Division <br /> during the month following the end of that quarter. Monitoring results and <br /> evaluation for ground water and surface water are submitted in an annual hydrologic <br /> report(AHR). The AHR will detail inflows,discharges and consumption of water <br /> within the mine and shall be structured around the normal "water year" (October 1 <br /> through September 30). The annual report will also include baseline water quality <br /> data in addition to the quarterly monitoring data to allow for comparison of baseline <br /> and"during mining" conditions. The annual report for the previous water year will <br /> be submitted no later than March 31 of each year. <br /> SURFACE WATER <br /> Surface water hydrology description is provided in Sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.6 of the <br /> permit application. The surface water monitoring program is described in Section <br /> 4.2.7 of the PAP. Required analytical monitoring parameters are specified in Table <br /> 4.2-15 of the PAP, and monitoring sites are depicted on Figure 4.2-2 of the PAP. <br /> East Salt Creek and McClane Creek flow data are obtained by measuring rated <br /> culvert depths. In 1996,the downstream sampling point on East Salt Creek was <br /> relocated to the bridge over East Salt Creek in the terminated Munger Canyon Mine <br /> permit area, and flow measurements are made at that location. <br /> xvii <br />
