The surface and ground waters of the permit area and surrounding AVF will be <br />• protected by water quality monitoring. The Roaring Fork River is monitored <br />month]y for pH, temperature and conductivity. Quarterly chemical constituents <br />are being measured. Three monitor wells are used to monitor ground water in the <br />alluvial aquifer. The water level, pH, temperature and conductivity will be <br />measured each month with chemical analyses to be performed quarterly. <br />The surrounding operation of irrigated agriculture will not be interrupted by <br />the operation of the loadout facility. The irrigation of the hay field just <br />north of the loadout will continue as it has in the past. The interruption of <br />irrigation at the facility will only be temporary as the reclamation plan <br />returns the land to its former state at the completion of the operation. <br />In summary, the AVF essential hydrologic functions of the loadout facility will <br />be preserved. This will be accomplished by the minimal disturbance at the site, <br />sediment control, complete hydrologic monitoring, the operation on an <br />augmentation plan, and no interruption to the irrigation activities on <br />surrounding areas. <br /> <br /> <br />5-15 <br />
