<br />r <br />The applicant states that the Victory No. 1 portal was discharging during the <br />summer of 1984, indicating that rubbilization has intercepted some ground <br />water in either the Cliff House Sandstone or the upper Menefee Formation. The <br />Victory No. ] portal was sealed by the applicant and a controlled discharge <br />pipe was built into the seal. This discharge has been monitored by the <br />Division and has exhibited low pH water. Since this discharge flows to the <br />permit area sediment pond it must be monitored to ensure that proper treatment <br />is undertaken if needed. <br />Stipulation No. 3 <br />THE APPLICANT SHALL MONITOR THE QUANTITY OF DISCHARGE FROM THE ABANDONED <br />VICTORY N0. 1 PORTAL ON A MONTHLY BASIS. THE APPLICANT SHALL SAMPLE <br />THIS DISCHARGE QUARTERLY FOR THE PARAMETERS LISTED BELOW. <br />GROUND WATER PARAMETERS: <br />pH (Field) <br />Conductivity (Field) <br />Temperature (Field) <br />Total Dissolved Solids <br />Bicarbonate (as CaCo3) <br />Calcium <br />Carbonate <br />Chloride <br />Magnesium <br />Ammonia <br />Nitrate-Nitrite <br />Phosphate <br />Sodium <br />Sulfate <br />Arsenic <br />Cadmium <br />Iron <br />Manganese <br />Mercury <br />Selenium <br />Zinc <br />A more detailed discussion of Subsidence Related Flow is found in <br />Section XXIII. - Subsidence. <br />Menefee Formation Aquifers <br />Minor amounts of water flow through coal seams of the Menefee Formation. <br />Numerous seeps emanating from various coal seams and riders were noted at the. <br />proposed mine highwall in the spring of 1985. Seeps from coal seams along <br />Highway 160 in and near Coal Gulch were also observed. <br />Most seeps along Highway 160 were gone by mid-June, 1985, but seepage was <br />still evident along the Coal Gulch highwall, which is upgradient from the <br />highway. These observations indicate that the Menefee Formation supports a <br />short duration, seasonal flow system. <br />
