• 2.04.7 Hydrology Description <br />(1) Ground Water Information <br />(a) The application shall contain a description of the ground water <br />hydrology for the proposed mine plan and adjacent area, includ- <br />ing, at a minunum: <br />(i) The depth below the surface and the horiaontal extent of <br />the water table and aquifers; <br />(ii) The lithology and thickness of the aquifers; <br />(iii) Rnown uses of the water in the aquifers and water table; <br />and <br />(iv) The quality of the subsurface water. <br />(b) The application shall contain additional information which des- <br />tribes the recharge, storage, and discharge characteristics of <br />aquifers and the quality and quantity of ground water, according <br />to the parameters and in the detail required by the Division. <br />(2) Surface Water Information <br />(a) Surface water information shall be provided, including the name <br />of the watershed which will receive water discharges from the <br />• permit area, the location of all surface water bodies such as <br />streams. lakes. ponds and springs, the location of any water <br />discharge into any surface body of water, and descriptions of <br />surface drainage systems auffident to identify, in detail, the <br />seasonal variations in water quantity and quality within the <br />proposed permit and adjacent areas. <br />(b) Surface water information shall include: <br />(i) Minimum, maximum, and average flows which identify eriti- <br />cal bw flow and peak discharge rates of streams sufficient <br />to identify seasonal variations; and <br />(ii) Water quality data from surface waters in, discharging into, <br />or which will receive flows from surface or ground water <br />f=am affected areas within the proposed permit area. suf- <br />- fident to identify seasonal variations, showing: <br />(A) Total dissolved solids in milligrams per liter; <br />(B) Total suspended solids in milligrams per liter; <br />(C) Aridity; <br />(D) pH; <br />(E) Total and dissolved iron in milligrams per liter; <br />(F) Total manganese in milligrams per liter; and <br />(G) Such other information as the Division, for good cause <br />shown. determines is relevant. <br />(3) Alternative Water Supply Information. The application shall identify <br />the extent to which the proposed surface coal mining operations may <br />pro~mately result in contamination, diminution, or interruption of an <br />
