State Reg. <br />• claimed lands will be diverted. Water pumped out of the mine pits will <br />be minimal and will enter the surface water system upstream of the NPDES <br />discharge point subject to routine monitoring. <br />In the vicinity of the tie-across haul road corridor, there will be no <br />disturbance to the surface or ground water hydrologic balance. For the <br />most part, the road will be built on ground which is well above stream <br />valley bottoms and thus is physically and hydrologically removed from <br />any stream or alluvial aquifer, the nearest to the surface water <br />systems. Along the east and west portions of the road, the road <br />descends and connects to presently existing roads. Because the road <br />construction will entail only minimal surface disturbance, there will be <br />no interruption, discontinuance or diminution of flow or quality of <br />either surface or ground water. Proper measures to control surface <br />water flow into, through, and around the affected area of the tie across <br />haul road using properly sized culverts and ditches will be taken as <br />• detailed in Section IV and depicted in Exhibit 12-9. <br />2.05.6(3) <br />(b)(ii) The application does not anticipate the necessity of treating effluent <br />waters to lower or raise pH or to flocculate suspended sediments. Nor <br />does the applicant anticipate the necessity of treating effluent waters <br />to lower the concentrations of any specific anions, cations, or <br />particulates. This conclusion is based upon evaluation of premining <br />surface and ground water quality data and overburden data. <br />2.05.6(3) <br />(b)(iii) A. Operational Monitoring Plan <br />Monitoring of surface and ground waters will continue throughout the <br />life of the mine until either the release of the reclamation bond or a <br />written authorization from the Colorado DMLR that monitoring is no <br />longer necessary. Ground water levels will be monitored triannually. <br />All of the well sites presently being monitored are located outside of <br />• the areas to be mined (see Exhibit 7-1). Therefore, these wells will be <br />monitored throughout the life of the mine. Wells monitoring reclaimed <br />7-175 Revised 04/22/88 <br />
