P,.(af,•o.~ ,rQC~..~r,.Ts ~~ to The following additional stipulations and conditions form an integral part of the foresoing permit: Stipulation No. Description 1. The ambient ground water qualih data collected through implementation of the ground water characterization plan described in the permit application will be incorporated into the permit through a technical revision that will assure an opportunity for meaningful public participation in the process. Permit conditions protective of ground water Hill also be established through the same technical revision process, which is described below. Until the permit is so revised to include permit conditions protective of ground water, the Operator is precluded from injecting fluids under this permit for the purpose of solution mining. If the ambient ground water quality urformation collected under the chazacterizationpJan proses to be inadequate to establish permit conditions protective of ground water, the Board may require additional characterization ofground water prior to allowing injection of fluids for solution mining. If the 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 emplo} ed will occur through the following steps: Provision of the ground water data to the Division as it 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 hate 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 1.63. 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 [o consider the merits of the technical revision and to hear testimony from the parties and the public. <f the technical revision is not ready for a hearing in July 2000, the hearing date could be continued. If the hearing is to be continued, then the operator must notifi the parties at least 43 day's prior to the hearing.
