-14- <br />have been recorded for some sites. Historical ground water quality data from <br />three of the deep aquifer monitor wells have not been included in the present <br />permit application, however. This information is contained in the original <br />Energy Mine No. 3 permit application submitted by Energy Fuels Corporation in <br />February, 1981 (CMLRD File No. C-036-81), and must be included in the present <br />permit application as necessary baseline information. Therefore the following <br />stipulation is necessary. <br />Stipulation No. 1 <br />WITHIN 30 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE THE PERMITTEE MUST SUBMIT ALL HISTORICAL <br />GROUND WATER QUALITY INFORMATION FROM DEEP AQUIFER MONITOR WELLS <br />008-77-43, 008-79-7, AND 008-FM-6 INTO THE PERMIT APPLICATION. <br />Four of the five shallow aquifer monitor wells are located in alluvial <br />deposits just upstream of the confluence of Foidel Creek and Middle Creek. <br />These wells are identified as 008-AV-1, 008-AU-2, 008-AV-3 and 008-AV-4. An <br />additional shallow monitor well (008-AX-1) is located in the alluvium of <br />Middle Creek, downstream from the mine. <br />In order to quantify the effects of mining from the Energy Mine No. 3 on the <br />surface water system, water quality samples and corresponding stream flow <br />measurements taken at the time of sample collection must be obtained upstream <br />of the mine on both Middle and Foidel Creeks. U.S.G.S. Gaging Stations <br />09243700 and 09243900 are located upstream of the mine on Middle and Foidel <br />Creeks, respectively. The applicant has entered into a cooperative agreement <br />with the U.S.G.S. in order for the U.S.G.S. to continue data collection at <br />these two sites. The applicant proposes to utilize instantaneous flow data <br />from continuous flow records collected by the U.S.G.S. at these two sites as <br />part of the hydrologic monitoring plan. This data is made available to the <br />applicant within several months after the time of collection. The U.S.G.S. <br />also periodically monitors water quality at these two sites. However, due to <br />the lag time involved in water quality data reporting and the fact that <br />U.S.G.S. water quality sampling schedule and frequency is not coordinated with <br />the applicant's monitoring plan, this data would not be included in the <br />applicant's hydrologic monitoring program. The applicant has proposed to <br />collect water quality data upstream on Middle Creek at Site 18, but has not <br />proposed to monitor water quality upstream on Foidel Creek. The following two <br />stipulations are necessary so that upstream monitoring is accurately <br />quantified. <br />Stipulation No. 2 <br />INSTANTANEOUS FLOIJ MEASUREMENTS FOR BOTH UPSTREAM SURFACE WATER MONITOR <br />SITES ON MIDDLE AND FOIDEL CREEKS MUST BE OBTAINED AT THE APPROXIMATE TIME <br />OF WATER QUALITY SAMPLE COLLECTION. THESE FLOW DATA MAY BE EXTRACTED FROM <br />CONTINUOUS FLOW RECORDS AT U.S.G.S. GAGING STATIONS 09243700 AND 09243900 <br />TO THE EXTENT WHICH THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON <br />(OTHER THAN NO FLOW) THE U.S.G.S. DOES NOT COLLECT THIS INFORMATION OR IS <br />NOT ABLE TO FORWARD THIS INFORMATION TO THE PERMITTEE IN A TIMELY MANNER, <br />IT WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PERMITTEE TO COLLECT AND REPORT IT TO <br />THE DIVISION WITHIN THE PERMITTEE'S ANNUAL HYDROLOGIC MONITORING REPORT. <br />
