by the Division. The ground water monitoring plan is found in Appendix <br /> 2.05.6(3)-3 of the permit document. (4.05.13(1)): <br /> 2. The surface water monitoring plan is discussed in Section 2.05.6(3) of the <br /> permit. The list of parameters to be analyzed is located in Appendix 2.04.7-2. <br /> The monitoring plan will be used to identify any trends in water quality or <br /> quantity that would indicate any negative impact from the mining and <br /> reclamation operations. The monitoring plan was submitted under <br /> 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv) and is found in Appendix 2.05.6(3)-3 of the permit document. <br /> (4.05.13(2)) <br /> H. Transfer of Wells <br /> A domestic well located at the southern portion of the permit area, at the former <br /> facilities area has been transferred to the landowner. <br /> I. Discharge of Water into an Underground Mine <br /> This section does not apply as NHN is a surface mine. <br /> J. Stream Buffer Zones <br /> The drainage area for Nygren Draws is 0.88. Since this area is less than one <br /> square mile, it does not qualify for stream buffer zone protection as defined by <br /> Rule 4.05.18(1). <br /> The drainage area for Meehan Draw is larger than I square mile. Stream buffer <br /> zones signs are in place on both sides of the draw. The signs are set back 100 feet <br /> from the stream and will be maintained until final reclamation. <br /> K. Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br /> A discussion of the Probable Hydrologic Consequences (PHC) is presented in <br /> Section 2.05.6(3) Protection of Hydrological Balance of the permit. Concerning <br /> groundwater, ERMR presents their assessment that the probable impacts to <br /> groundwater were determined to have no short-term or long-term significance. <br /> ERMR nevertheless has provided a plan to mitigate any impacts determined to <br /> have significance. A summary of the probable hydrologic consequences is <br /> provided in Appendix 2.05.6(3)-2. Alluvial groundwater is essentially non- <br /> existent within the permit and immediate adjacent areas. <br /> Table 2.05.6(3)-2 located in Appendix 2.05.6(3)-2,page 31, of the permit <br /> document summarizes the probable hydrologic consequences for surface and <br /> ground water. All of the probable impacts have been determined to be of a short <br /> term nature, of minimal significance, or a plan has been presented to mitigate those <br /> determined to have some significance. The Division concurs with ERMR's <br /> 22 <br />
