-zz- Stipulation No. 8: THE PERMITTEE SHALL VERIFY THE LOCATIONS OF ALL SPRINGS AND SEEPS IDENTIFIED IN THE PRELIMINARY SPRING SURVEY THROUGH AFIELD SURVEY. THIS FIELD SPRING SURVEY SHALL ALSO INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF EACH SPRING OR SEEP KEYED TO A LOCATION MAP. THE DESCRIPTION SHALL IDENTIFY THE POTENTIAL OR OBSERVED WATER SOURCE OF EACH SPRING OR SEEP (i.e., SANDSTONE OUTCROP, ALLUVIUM, FAULT ZONE, FRACTURE ZONE, ETC.); THE MEASURED OR ESTIMATED FLOW RATE OF EACH SPRING OR SEEP; AND THE FIELD MEASUREMENT OF pH, ELECTRO-CONDUCTIVITY, AND TEMPERATURE FOR EACH SPRING OR SEEP. THIS SPRING SURVEY SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN MARCH OR APRIL OF 1984, WHEN WEATHER PERMITS ACCESS TO THESE AREAS. RESULTS OF THE FIELD SPRING SURVEY SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO THE DIVISION BY JUNE 1, 1984. Stipulation No. 9: THE PERMITTEE SHALL MONITOR THE FLOWS OF ALL SPRINGS AND SEEPS WITHIN THE ALLEN MINE'S PERMIT AND ADJACENT AREAS ON A MONTHLY BASIS FOR ONE GROWING SEASON (APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER). THE PERMITTEE MAY REQUEST A REDUCTION IN SPRING AND SEEP MONITORING FOLLOWING THE SUBMITTAL OF THE DATA OBTAINED DURING THE GROWING SEASON, AND AFTER SUBMITTAL OF AN ASSESSMENT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SPRINGS AND SEEPS ON SURFACE FLOWS, IRRIGATION PRACTICES, LIVESTOCK WATERING, WILDLIFE WATERING, AND DOMESTIC USE. The applicant is required by Rules 2.04.7(1((a)(iii) and 2.05.6(3) to provide a map locating all wells within one mile of the affected area. The well survey provided by the applicant identifies wells adjacent to and upstream of the Allen Mine. The Division is aware that other wells exist within one mile of the permit area which were not identified. Therefore, the following stipulation is required. Stipulation No. 10: WITHIN 90 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE THE PERMITTEE SHALL PROVIDE A MAP SHOWING THE LOCATION OF ALL WELLS WITHIN ONE MILE OF THE PERMIT AREA. IN ADDITION, THE PERMITTEE SHALL IDENTIFY THOSE WELLS THAT MIGHT BE AFFECTED (QUANTITY AND QUALITY) BY MINING OPERATIONS, AND PREDICT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THOSE EFFECTS. The Quaternary age alluvial deposits along the Middle Fork of the Purgatoire River contain ground water. These alluvial deposits are a major ground water source in the region. Most of the domestic, livestock, and irrigation wells in the permit and adjacent areas are completed in the alluvium adjacent to the Middle Fork of the Purgatoire River. The quantity and quality of alluvial ground water in this aquifer is dependent on the quantity and quality of water in the river and the domestic, agricultural, and industrial activities on, and adjacent to, the alluvial body.
