More specifically,the Plan will provide baseline and long-term water quality data for surface <br /> and groundwater conditions at the site. Long-term monitoring results will be compared to <br /> baseline conditions to determine if gravel pit operations have impacted water quality <br /> either from mining activity or from trucks moving mined material offsite. <br /> The Plan provides for the collection of pre-operational water quality data (baseline data) <br /> that will ultimately be used to compare with results from continuing long-term water quality <br /> monitoring. Collection of pre-operational groundwater levels has also occurred as part of <br /> the Plan. <br /> 3.2 Sampling Methodology <br /> This section identifies the groundwater sampling locations, selected parameters, <br /> frequency of tests, analytical techniques, the method of interpreting the results of the <br /> tests, and general program operation. <br /> 3.2.1 Background Monitoring and Point of Compliance (POC) <br /> Locations <br /> Seven water quality sampling wells have been identified to evaluate pre-operational water <br /> quality and potential impacts to surface and groundwater. An additional six wells will be <br /> monitored for groundwater elevations, but not sampled for water quality. The location of <br /> the monitoring locations is shown above in Figure 2; the locations and their purpose are <br /> summarized in Table 2. Available well construction and yield estimate reports are <br /> provided, as is available, in Attachment B. Note: Not all monitoring wells were either <br /> constructed by RMCC or registered with the Division of Water Resources, so construction <br /> diagrams are not available. <br /> 9 <br />
