The applicant has and will conduct monitoring of ground water <br />in a manner approved by the Division. The ground water <br />monitoring plan following approval of this permit revision <br />(PR-Ol) is as follows (4.05.13(1)): <br />Three alluvial wells are monitored quarterly. These are wel <br />A6 (upgradient on Goodspring Creek), North Good Spring Well <br />(downgradient on Goodspring Creek) and Gossard Well No. 1 <br />(downgradient at the mouth of Taylor Creek). <br />Analysis of the following parameters is performed on a <br />quarterly basis and submitted to the Division in an annual <br />report: <br />Phosphate Ammonia pH <br />Conductivity at 25°C Nitrate Lead <br />Total Dissolved Solids Calcium Manganese <br />Total Suspended Solids Bicarbonate Sodium <br />Mercury Magnesium Sulfate <br />Arsenic Selenium Zinc <br />Iron Depth to Water <br />Well A6 is proposed to replace well A3 (the current <br />upgradient Goodspring Creek alluvial well) since proposed <br />mining operations may now impact the Goodspring Creek <br />alluvial water upstream from well A3. Past water quality <br />analysis data for well A6 is included in Exhibit 7. No <br />further modifications to the ground water monitoring plan are <br />required to identify potential impacts to ground water due to <br />mining operations. <br />The applicant has and will continue to conduct monitoring of <br />surface water in a manner approved by the Division. The <br />monitoring plan was submitted under Rule 2.05.6(3>(b)(iv) and <br />includes the following (4.05.13(2)): <br />Three surface water sampling sites are monitored monthly for <br />the following parameters: <br />flow, <br />temperature, <br />pH, <br />and electrical conductivity. <br />The sampling sites are: 1) Taylor Creek near the mouth of <br />the creek, 2) lower Goodspring Creek (downstream from the <br />mine) and 3) upper Goodspring Creek (upstream from the <br />mine). The upper Goodspring Creek sampling site is being <br />relocated with approval of Permit Revision No. 1 because <br />surface drainage from the disturbed area will potentially <br />reach the creek upstream from the current sampling site. The <br />current sampling site has also been impacted by beaver <br />colonization of Goodspring Creek. <br />-18- <br />
