affected by the proposed activites, and proposed quan- <br />titative limits on pollutants in discharges subject to 4.05.2, <br />according to the more stringent of the following: <br />(A) These rules; or <br />(B) Other applicable State and Federal laws. <br />RESPONSE <br />Sediment ponds will be utilized to treat drainage from the af- <br />fected area. Treatment will consist of simple settling and con- <br />trolled release of the water. Clear water will be discharged from <br />the smaller ponds by decantation via manually operated siphons. <br />The discharge from the larger pond will be via a restricted flow <br />drop inlet structure and pumping. The water discharged from <br />the sediment ponds will meet the following limitations: <br />Maxunum Average <br />Iron, total (mg/1) 7.0 3.5 <br />Manganese, total (mg/1) 4.0 2.0 <br />Total suspended solids (mg/1) 45.0 30.0 <br />• pH between 6.0 and 9.0 <br />Discharges not falling within the above limits will be stopped and <br />natural oxidation and settlement allowed to continue until the <br />water is of acceptable quality. Batch treatment of the ponds <br />with appropriate flocculant or neutralizing chemicals will be <br />utilized if controlled natural processes are inadequate for un- <br />usual runoff conditions. <br />2.05.6 (3) (6) <br />(iii) A plan for the collection, recording, and reporting of ground <br />and surface water quality and quantity data, according to <br />4.05.13. <br />RESPONSE <br />Discharges for sediment ponds <br />Discharges from the sediment ponds will be intermittent in na- <br />ture, oaring in magnitude and frequency with natural runoff <br />. sources. Ground water contribution to the ponds will be mini- <br />mal. <br />
