<br /> <br /> <br />3-1 <br /> <br />Section 3 <br />Surface Water Monitoring <br />Surface water monitoring will be performed by Holcim or its contractor under the direction of <br />Holcim’s project manager. Analytical services for the program will be provided by a National <br />Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference-certified analytical laboratory. Information <br />regarding the responsibilities of the key personnel for the project is provided in the QAPP (Appendix <br />B). <br />3.1 Surface Water Monitoring Locations <br />An investigation to identify wetlands and waters of the United States within the RCQ permit <br />boundaries identified a section of Red Creek as either ephemeral, intermittent or perennial. Only the <br />sections of Red Creek that are perennial will be monitored for water quality. <br />The surface water monitoring network at the RCQ comprises 3 surface water monitoring locations. <br />The monitoring station identification number (ID), location descriptions, and monitoring frequency <br />are provided in Table 3-1. The surface water monitoring locations are shown on Figure 5. <br /> <br />Table 3-1.

Visual <br />observation locations are shown on Figure 5. <br />3.2 Surface Water Monitoring Schedule <br />Surface water will be monitored quarterly for a minimum of five consecutive quarters. The actual <br />dates of the monitoring will depend on weather and sampling location accessibility. Groundwater and <br />surface water monitoring activities are anticipated to be conducted under the same quarterly <br />monitoring event. <br />3.3 Surface Water Monitoring Procedures <br />The surface water monitoring program will include the following items: <br />• Measurement of field parameters: <br />− pH <br />− Temperature <br />− Specific conductance (SC)
