-6- C) QUALITY DATA, INCLUDING pH, ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITY, AND TEMPERATURE, AND THE SOURCE (I.E., FAULTS, FRACTURES; DRAINAGE FROM SEALS, ETC.) FOR ALL POINT SOURCE INFLOWS NOT PREVIOUSLY MAPPED. D) THE SUBMITTAL OF A CONTINUOUS RECORD OF MINE DISCHARGES FOR THE YEAR AND A HYDROGRAPH OF FLOWS. Stipulation No. 12 PRIOR TO SECONDARY OR RETREAT MINING UNDER CIRUELA CANYON, APACHE CANYON, AND SANTISTEVAN CANYON DRAINAGES, THE PERMITTEE MUST COLLECT DATA ON THE QUANTITY OF WATER FLOWING IN THESE DRAINAGES. MONITORING MUST BE SUFFICIENT TO DIFFERENTIATE SEASONAL FLOW VARIATIONS. THE PERMITTEE MUST MONITOR THE QUALITY OF WATER FLOWING IN CIRUELLA CANYON QUARTERLY. MONITORING MUST BE DONE AT TWO SITES, ONE ABOVE THE MINE WATER DISCHARGE POINT AND ONE BELOW THE COAL PROCESSING WASTE PILE. THE PERMITTEE SHALL PROVIDE AN ASSESSMENT OF THE PROBABLE HYDROLOGIC CONSEQUENCES OF SECONDARY OR RETREAT MINING ON THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF SURFACE WATER IN CIRUELA, APACHE AND SANTISTEVAN CANYONS. ALL MONITORING MUST CONTINUE UNTIL DISCONTINUATION IS APPROVED BY THE DIVISION IN WRITING. Stipulation No. 13 THE PERMITTEE SHALL SUBMIT AN ANNUAL HYDROLOGIC MONITORING REPORT FOR THE MAXWELL MINE. THE MONITORING REPORT SHALL INCLUDE A SUMMARY AND ANALYSIS OF DATA COLLECTED DURING THE YEAR, INCLUDING: 1) WATER USED IN THE MINING OPERATION; 2) MINE WATER DISCHARGES TO RECEIVING STREAMS (QUANTITY AND QUALITY); 3) MINE WATER INFLOWS (ANNUAL MINE INFLOW STUDY); 4) STREAM FLOWS AND QUALITY; 5) IMPACTS TO THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF ALLUVIAL AND BEDROCK AQUIFERS; AND 6) IMPACTS TO SPRING FLOWS AND QUALITY. THE MONITORING REPORT SHOULD INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF MITIGATIVE MEASURES TAKEN TO MINIMIZE DISTURBANCE TO THE PREVAILING HYDROLOGIC BALANCE. THE MONITORING REPORT SHALL BE ADEQUATE TO PLAN FOR MODIFICATION OF SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING ACTIVITIES, IF NECESSARY, TO MINIMIZE DISTURBANCE TO THE PREVAILING HYDROLOGIC BALANCE. Stipulation No. 14 . PRIOR TO SECONDARY OR RETREAT MINING UNDER APACHE CANYON OR SANTISTEVAN CANYON, THE PERMITTEE MUST SUBMIT TO THE DIVISION SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE FOR THE DIVISION TO MAKE FINDINGS THAT SECONDARY OR RETREAT MINING UNDER THESE CANYONS WILL: 1) NOT INTERRUPT, DISCONTINUE, OR PRECLUDE FARMING ON THE ALLUVIAL VALLEY FLOORS. 2) NOT CAUSE MATERIAL DAMAGE TO THE QUANTITY OF GROUND WATER THAT SUPPLIES THE ALLUVIAL VALLEY FLOORS. 3) PRESERVE THE ESSENTIAL HYDROLOGIC FUNCTIONS OF THE ALLUVIAL VALLEY FLOORS.
