Creek near the mouth of the creek, 2J lower Gaodspring Creek (downstream from the mine) and <br />3) upper Goodspring Creek (upstream from the mine). The monitoring plan was submitted under <br />Rule 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv) and includes the following [Rule 4.05.13(2)]: <br />Monthly sampling for: pH, electrical conductivity, temperature, Total Suspended Solids <br />(TSS), and flow. <br />Quarterly sampling forpH; Conducrivity at 25 <br />(HCO3-), Calcium (Ca+z), Magnesium (Mg'Z), Ammonia (NH3), Nitrate-Nitrite, <br />Phosphate (POa"s as P), Sodium (Na~, Sulfate (SO4 ), Arsenic (As), Iron (Fe), Lead (Pb), <br />Manganese (Mn), Mercury (Hg), Selenium (Se), Zinc (Zn), and Total Suspended Solids <br />(total recoverable metals). <br />In addition to the monitoring discussed above, the Operator is required to monitor (see page 4.05- <br />15,PAP) discharges, from all Colorado Discharge Permit System (CDPS) discharge points <br />(sediment ponds} as required by the mine's CDPS permit. Results of this monitoring are reported <br />to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) on a quarterly basis <br />and to the Division on a yearly basis. <br />H_.Transfer of WellsRule 405>14 <br />No transfer of wells.is pmposed_ AU monitoring wells wr7l be`reclaimed'prior to bond release <br />I.

This decision was based on a fmding <br />-that the original stream channel will be restored, water quality and quantity shall not be adversely <br />affected, and appropriate riparian vegetation will be reestablished. The buffer zone variance is <br />granted for portions of Goodspring Creek near the sediment ponds which dischazge into that <br />creek, and that portion of Taylor Creek neaz the loadout [4.05.18(1)]. <br />L.
