w PROPOSED CONDITIONS FOR APPROVAL OF THE APPLICATION AMERICAN SODA, L.L.P., YANKEE GULCH PROJECT, FILE NO. M-99-002 CONDITION NO. 1 III IIIIIIIIIIIII III (~C~ .~h~5 ~JMt ~r The ambient ground water quality data collected through implemen[a ' n of the ground water characterization plan described in the permit application will be inc orated into the permit through a technical revision that will assure an opportunity for meaningful p lic participation in the process. Permit conditions protective of ground water will also be establis ed through the same technical revision process, which is described below. Until the permit so is revise to include permit conditions protective of ground water, the Operator is precluded from injecting fluids or the purpose of solution mining. If [he ambient ground water quality information collected under the characterization plan proves to be inadequate to establish permit conditions protective of ground water, the Board may require additional characterization of ground water prior to allowing injection of fluids for solution mining. If [he ambient ground water quality information demonstrates that the existing and reasonable potential future uses of ground water may not be protected by permit conditions under the mine plan described in the permit application, or in the permit as it may be revised, then the Board may bar the Operator from further executing the mine plan and require reclamation of any disturbance that has occurred up to that point. The technical revision process to be employed will occur through the following steps: • Provision of the ground water data [o the Division as i[ is accumulated rather than as a single submittal at the end of the data gathering period. The Division will disseminate the data to the parties to the permit application process. This procedure will assure that interested parties have adequate opportunity to evaluate the data. • Once all of the required ambient ground water data has been accumulated, the Operator will apply for a technical revision to incorporate the data into the permit and to establish permit conditions protective of ground water. The Operator will follow the public notice procedures of Rule 1.6.2 and Rule 1.6.3. Public comment on the technical revision will be in accordance with Rule 1.7.1 and Rule 1.7.2. • A Formal Public Hearing will be convened during the July 2000 meeting of the Board to consider the merits of the technical revision and to hear testimony from the parties and the public. If the technical revision is not ready fora (hearing in July 2000, the hearing,date could be continued. ~ .~ ~ ~ ~ ~ -+ ntva,'~ i~ .r(Cv ,ii.ll~i~ r(5 n~c.~ ~ ,~r 3i .i G_.~i'~.
