2. The applicant will conduct monitoring of surface water in a <br />manner approved by the Division. The monitoring plan was <br />submitted under 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv) and inciudes the following: <br />• (4.05.13(2>). <br />a. Surface water monitoring is currently conducted at nine <br />stations in and adjacent to the permit area. Three <br />additional stations will be utilized one year prior to <br />mining fn the extreme northwest (lease C-8424) portion <br />of the permit area. Locations of surface water <br />monitoring stations are depicted on Map 137. The <br />stations include: SW1-1, 5W11-1, SW12-l, SW11-2, <br />SW6-1, SW31-1, SW33-1, SW23-l, SW24-1. <br />b. Five of the stations are crest stage gauges designed to <br />measure the crest of flow events and collect samples <br />from these events. Four stations are grab sample <br />collectors for water quality analysis only. <br />c. Crest gauge and sample collection samples will be <br />monitored quarterly. <br />d. Surface water quality parameters include: <br />Field Measurements Laboratory Analysis <br />Discharge Ammonia Manganese, Total <br />pH Bicarbonate Nickel, Total <br />Specific Conductance -Boron Nitrate <br />• Temperature Calcium Potassium <br />Carbonate Selenium, Total <br />Chloride Sodium <br />Copper, Totai Sulfate <br />Fluoride Total Suspended Solids <br />Iron, Total Total Dissolved Solids <br />Lead, Total Total Volatile Solids <br />Magnesium Sodium Adsorption Rate <br />III. Coal Mine Waste Banks <br />1. The Division is proposing to approve plans for use, construction <br />and maintenance of a coal mine waste disposal area. (4.10.1 (1)). <br />2. An alternative subdratnage system for the, coal mine waste area has <br />been proposed. The Division finds that such an alternative will <br />ensure the applicable static safety factor, stability of the fill, <br />and protection of the surface and ground water. (4.10.3(5)). <br />• -12- <br />
