IV. Geology - Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6 The specific findings required under this section which were made in the February, 1988 Findings Document (Renewal) have not been modified by PR-04 and remain applicable. The proposed section is in compliance with the requirements of this section. V. Ground Water Hvdrologv - Rules 2.04.5, 2.04.7, 2.05.6(3) and 4.05 VI. Ground water information submitted in the original permit application has been incorporated in the proposed permit revision and addresses all ground water issues for the entire permitted area. Ground water monitoring was terminated after the 4th quarter 1991 by TR-19. A discussion of possible ground water hydrologic impacts can be found in the Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Assessment in the February 1988 Findings Document. The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. 4). 2.05.6(3) Information pertaining to surface water quality and quantity can be found on pages 2.04.17 and 2.05.17 of the permit revision application and the Federal Lease permit revision application. Additional surface water hydrology information is provided in the application by Exhibits 7 and Maps 4 and 8. Information pertaining to sediment control structures can be found in Exhibit 7 of the permit revision application. The approved permit area is drained by one perennial drainage, Stollsteimer Creek. Flows in Stollsteimer Creek vary seasonally. Highest flows occur during periods of snowmelt and intense thunderstorms. Stollsteimer Creek receives flow from numerous ephemeras drainages. This creek is dammed in numerous locations above the proposed permit area, the closest dam being located at Capote Lake, approximately 5 miles upstream. The landowner has constructed an irrigation ditch which runs adjacent to the creek. This ditch is periodically dammed to flood irrigate the pasture located between the East Pit and the Barren Ridge permit area. Reclamation operations will not preclude the use of this irrigation ditch. All runoffs from disturbed areas are currently routed through four sediment control ponds and one sediment trap. Sediment pond 002 is located on the western edge of the East Pit Area. Sediment pond 003 is located on the northeastern edge of the permit boundary. Two sediment ponds, 004 and 005 serve as sediment control structures in the Barren Ridge and Federal Lease areas. The sediment trap lies below Sediment pond 002. -6-
