CNAPTERTWO Proposed Action and Alternawes The groundwater well sample analytical results and water level measurements would be reported to BLM on a monthly basis and to EPA on a quarterly basis. 2.2.5.4 Evaporation Pond Monitoring The evaporation ponds to be located at the Piceance Site and the Parachute Site are described in Section 2.2.1.2 and Section 2.2.3.2, respectively. Monitoring of overflow from the ponds would occur on a daily basis by visual inspection. Although overflows are not expected because adequate freeboazd would be incorporated into all pond designs, any overflows would be reported to the BLM within 72 hours. Total dissolved solids and pH in the Piceance Site evaporation pond, the Parachute evaporation pond, and the Pazachute MVR purge pond would be measured and recorded every 6 months. Results would be included in the periodic (monthly or quarterly) reporting to BLM, EPA, and CDMG. 2.2.5.5 Air Emission Source Monitoring A construction pernut application, including a fugitive dust control plan, would tie filed with the Air Pollution Control Division of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for each significant source of air pollutants at each site prior to construction. The sources at the Piceance and Parachute sites would be reviewed in accordance with the provisions for prevention of significant deterioration. Following construction, a renewable operating permit application (Title V) would also be filed for each site. The emissions from each :;ire would be monitored as necessary to demonstrate compliance with the permit provisions. During construction and operation, water would be applied as necessary to roads and cleazed azeas for dust control. Routine dust control on roads and cleazed azeas would be :provided by watering trucks. 2.2.5.6 Wildlife Recovery and Replacement Plan Three primary wildlife concerns have been identified for the Yankee Gulch Project, including impacts to mule deer, potential impacts to migratory birds that may utilize project ponds, and potential impacts to sage grouse resulting from pipeline construction. American .soda is consulting with BLM, Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW), and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to develop final plans to address these concems. Based on initial consultations, the following describe the general measures that American Soda would implement. Mu/e Deer A deer habitat improvement program would be implemented at the Piceance `fire with the goal of providing sufficient overwintering and transitional habitat to support <ieer displaced by the project. 2-22
