-16- Further discussion of surface water can be found in Section VII "Probable Hydrologic Consequences of Mining and Cumulative Hydrologic Impacts Hssessment". Sediment Control The design calculations and narrative for the sediment control system can be found in Volume I, Section 2.05, page 13-25, Section 4.05, page 9, and Section V of the Response to Draft Findings Document Stipulations document. No exemptions from sediment control or effluent quality limitations were requested or granted. The operator was however, granted a variance from two design requirements. Normally, ponds are required to be dewatered automatically. The Division granted a variance from this requirement since all ponds will be incised below ground level. Manual dewatering devices are the only practical method in this case. Another variance was granted from the requirement of submitting detailed pond dimensions. This was granted since the ponds are incised and will need to be field built to accomodate natural land features. However, to ensure that the pond will be built to the proprr size, the Division imposes the following stipulation: Stipulation No. 2 WITHIN 60 UNYS OF CONSTRUCTION OF A SEDIMENT PUNU THE, OPERATOR SHALL 1) SUBMIT CERTIFIED AS-BUILT DESIGNS FOR THE PONDS SHOWING DIMENSIONS NND ELEVATIONS AND 2) SUBMIT H REPORT CERTIFIED BY N QUALIFIED REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER THAT STATES THAT THE POND WAS CONSTRUCTED ACCORDING TU THE APPROVED PLAN CONTAINED IN THE APPLICNTION. Upon submittal of the above, the Division will determine whether the structures are sized for the appropriate design event. In addition, the permittee must submit certification for the existing pond: Stipulation No. 3 WITHIN 60 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE, THE PERMITTEE MUST SUBMIT A REPORT CERTIFIED BY A QUALIFIED REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER THAT STATES THAT THE EXISTING SEDIMENT POND WAS CONSTRUCTED ACCORDING TO THE APPROVED PLAN INCLUDED IN THE AUGUST 10, 1982 kEVISIUIV. With the acceptance of the above stipulations the Division finds the application in compliance with the requirements of this section.
