Operations at the McClane <br />quality of water in East <br />requires that monitoring <br />verify these conditions. <br />monitoring program. <br />Canyon Mine will have little effect on the <br />Salt Creek and McClane Canyon. The Division <br />of surface water continue during mining to <br />The following discussion explains the <br />Surface water quantity and quality will be monitored upstream and <br />downstream of the disturbance in McClane Canyon and on East Salt Creek <br />upstream and downstream of the confluence of McClane Canyon and East Salt <br />Creek. Salt Creek Mining Company has established anew monitoring site <br />on East Salt Creek directly below the mouth of McClane Canyon Mine <br />Station SW-8. This monitoring network will be sufficient to identify any <br />effects of the operation on surface water. <br />The following stipulation is necessary to ensure the proper monitoring of <br />effects of the operation on the surface water hydrology. <br />2. SURFACE WATER MONITORING: <br />A. FLOW MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN AT SURFACE WATER MONITORING <br />SITE SW-2 AND WATER SAMPLES SHALL BE TAKEN FROM SITES SW-2 AND SW-5 <br />ON McCLANE CANYON TWICE A YEAR (AT DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE YEAR) AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />i) ONCE DURING SPRING SNOWMELT <br />ii) ONCE DURING A STORM EVENT <br />B. FLOW MEASUREMENTS MUST BE TAKEN QUARTERLY FROM SITE SW-1 AND <br />WATER SAMPLES MUST BE TAKEN QUARTERLY FROM SITES SW-1 AND SW-8. <br />C. THE WATER SAMPLES MUST BE CHEMICALLY ANALYZED FOR THE <br />PARAMETERS SPECIFIED BELOW: <br />pH Sodium Absorption Sodium (Na+) Lead(Pb) <br />Specific Conductance Ratio Sulfate(S04) Manganese(Mn) <br />Temperature(field) Bicarbonate(HC03) Aluminum(A1) Mercury(Hg) <br />Total Suspended Solids Calcium(Ca+2) Arsenic(As) Molybdenum(Mo) <br />Total Dissolved Solids Magnesium(Mg+2) Boron(B) Selenium(Se) <br />Total Combustible Solids Cadmium(Cd) Zinc(Zn) <br />Total Hardness Copper(Cu) <br /> Iron(Fe) <br />D) THE RESULTS OF ALL MONITORING MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE <br />DIVISION IMMEDIATELY AFTER DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS. <br />E) DUE TO THE CURRENT TEMPORARY CESSATION OF OPERATIONS AT THE <br />McCLANE CANYON MINE, ITEMS A, B, AND C LISTED ABOVE ARE MODIFIED AS <br />FOLLOWS: QUARTERLY FLOW MEASUREMENTS SHALL BE TAKEN ONLY AT <br />SURFACE WATER MONITORING SITE SW-2. WATER QUALITY SAMPLES SHALL BE <br />TAKEN TWICE A YEAR (ONCE DURING SPRING SNOWMELT AND ONCE DURING A <br />STORM EVENT) AND MUST BE CHEMICALLY ANALYZED FOR THE PARAMETERS <br />LISTED BELOW: <br />-g- <br />
