already been completed (noted in the preceeding section) and the ongoing CDMG <br />approved monitoring program.. <br />A Phase II Monitoring Program will initiate, if required, after a reassessment of the Lease <br />area hydrologic features to be conducted during the summer of 2003. <br />PHASEI <br />Phase I Inventory <br />As noted above, all identified water resources located within the Elk Creek lease had <br />been included in the EIS and have been identified on the CDMG permit <br />Geology/Hydrology Map 2.04-M2 (see Appendix 6) and the data presented in Permit <br />Exhibit 2.04-E4 (see Appendix 3). <br />According to the latest Colorado Division of Water Resources (CDWR) information <br />there are no deeded water rights ornon-jurisdictional structures, under Colorado water <br />law, identified within the Elk Creek lease area. <br />Phase I Monitoring Plan <br />The current monitoring plan for the water resources within the OMLLC permit area is <br />described in CDMG permit Exhibit 2.05-E7 (also Appendix 4 herein), pages 2.05-99 <br />through 101 Hydrologic Monitoring Plan (also Appendix 2), Table 2.04.7 - Tl, Surface <br />and Groundwater Parameters, PAP page 2.04-41 (also Appendix 1) and Table 2.04.7-T2 <br />Historic Ground Water Monitoring summary, PAP page 2.04-42 (also Appendix 1). The <br />monitoring program provides for a frequency and distribution of operational monitoring <br />data collection adequate to identify and document trends and fluctuations in the quantity <br />and quality of surface water, the level and quality of groundwater and the overall effects <br />of mining and reclamation activities on the hydrologic balance. <br />An Annual Hydrology Report (AHR) is prepared and submitted to the CDMG. The AHR <br />includes a compilation of the data collected from the various stream sites, spring and seep <br />sites, and groundwater well sites described in the permit. An analysis of the data is <br />prepazed and compared to the probable hydrologic consequences predicted for the mine <br />operations. <br />Stream Monitorine: <br />A lower Bear Creek sampling site is located near Highway 133, two Elk Creek sampling <br />sites are located above and below the OMLLC surface facilities and a Hubbazd Creek <br />sampling site is located approximately one mile north of Highway 133. <br />OMLLC records stream flows and field parameters on a monthly basis from April <br />through October. Laboratory samples are obtained during the second and third quarters. <br /> <br />4 <br />
