WILL BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 1 EACH YEAR. <br /> SiTRFACE WATER <br /> Surface water hydrology description is provided in Sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.6 of the permit <br /> application. The surface water monitoring program is described in Section 4.2.7. Required <br /> analytical monitoring parameters are specified in Table 4.2-15, and monitoring sites are depicted <br /> on Figure 4.2-2. <br /> East Salt Creek and McClane Creek flow data are obtained by measuring rated culvert depths. In <br /> 1996, the downstream sampling point on East Salt creek was relocated to the bridge over East Salt <br /> Creek in the Munger Canyon Mine permit area,and flow measurements are made at that location. <br /> Surface water quantity and quality will be monitored upstream and downstream of the disturbance <br /> in McClane Canyon and on East Salt Creek upstream and downstream of the confluence of <br /> McClane Canyon and East Salt Creek in a manner approved by the Division. The monitoring plan <br /> was submitted under 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv),and includes the following,pursuant to 4.05.13(2). <br /> SW-1 and SW-8(East Salt Creek upstream and downstream): Quarterly Flow and Quality. <br /> SW-2 (McClane Creek below mine bench): Flow and quality, once during spring snowmelt, <br /> and once during storm event runoff. <br /> SW-5 (McClane Creek above mine bench): Water quality samples twice a year,once during <br /> spring snowmelt,and once during storm event runoff. <br /> The water quality monitoring parameter list is outlined on Table 4.2-15. A reduced <br /> parameter list(Short Suite For Temporary Cessation)is included in the table. A notation on <br /> the table specifies that the short suite is to be implemented only after mining has ceased for a <br /> period of at least 6 months. <br /> Results of the quarterly surface water monitoring are submitted to the Division immediately after <br /> data collection and analysis. Monitoring results and evaluation are submitted in an annual <br /> hydrologic report(AHR). The AHR will assess observed impacts to the surface water system,and <br /> will be structured around the normal "water year" (October 1 through September 30). The annual <br /> report will also include baseline water quality data in addition to the quarterly monitoring data to <br /> allow for comparison of baseline and"during mining"conditions. No specific due date for AHR <br /> submittal is specified in the permit application document, although the AHR has generally been <br /> submitted in January. Stipulation 26, above, establishes February 1 each year as the due date for <br /> AHR submittal. <br /> E. Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br /> A determination of the probable hydrologic consequences (PHC) of the mining and reclamation <br /> activities at the McClane Canyon Mine site has been made by the applicant and is found in <br /> Section 2.4.2.1 and Appendix N of the permit application. Annual PHC updates are included in <br /> the annual hydrology report submitted each year by the operator. <br /> The Probable Hydrologic Consequences section of this document is divided into two main <br /> subsections: Ground Water Effects and Surface Water Effects. <br /> 16 <br />
