Page 132 <br />Hard Rock/Metai Mining Rule 6 <br />waters have the potential to be contaminated by designated chemicals used in <br />the extractive metallurgical process or by materials that aze toxic or acid- <br />formiag, or that groduce acid mine drainage; <br />(d) identify and locate on a map, in Exhibit C,-known major <br />fracture systems that affect rock formations under proposed sites of material <br />storage, stockpiles, waste piles, disposal sites, solution containment facilities <br />and other sites within the existing or proposed affected (land) area where such <br />fractures and any associated waters have the potential to be contaminated by <br />toxic or acid-forming materials or designated chemicals used in extractive <br />metallurgical process or that produce acid mine drainage; and <br />(e) describe and illustrate the hydrogeology of the area where <br />surface or groundwater maybe impacted by the Designated Mining Operation <br />activities. Include in the description and iIlustration, those geologic strata and <br />fracture systems that have the potential to transmit groundwater. <br />(9) Groundwater Quality Data - <br />(a) Indicate the existing and reasonably potential future <br />groundwater uses on and within two (2) miles down-gradient of the affected <br />lands. The required information may further be limited to that azea which can <br />also be demonstrated by the Operator to lie within the local ground and <br />surface water regimes that include the affected lands. On asite-specific basis <br />the Office or Board may extend the distance beyond 2 miles. <br />(b) Submit, at a minimum, groundwater quality data collected <br />during five (5) successive calendaz quarters or as specified by the Division, as <br />may be necessary to adequately characterize baseline conditions. This baseline <br />data shall be sufficient to provide for the proper design of facilities, to serve <br />as a basis for the evaluation of reclamation performance standards, and to <br />ensure the adequacy of Environmental Protection Facility design, maintenance <br />- - - _ -- - -and operation. - -- - - - -- - - - -- - -- - - - - - - - - - <br />(c) Analytical detection limits and groundwater quality parameters <br />must be acceptable to the Office. <br />(10) Surface Water Control and Containment Facilities Information <br />(a) Provide design specifications certified by a licensed <br />professional engineer for all Environmental Protection Facilities intended to: <br />
