~ -Z_ i <br />The applicant has also responded to ML,RD stipulation 8 (35?) which <br />requires submittal of a plan for monitoring the agricultural usage and <br />productivity of the North Fork AVF. The applicant's proposed survey plan <br />adequately responds to the stipulation. However, the demonstration <br />that the operation's fresh water usage would cause no material damage <br />to those waters supplying the alluvial valley floor may make an annual <br />survey unnecessary. I recommend that the survey be performed once to <br />inventory agricultural usage on the AVF, but that an annual survey <br />not be required. The survey could again be required at a later time if <br />there is a significant change in the mining and reclamation plan, or if <br />hydrologic monitoring indicated changes in water quality and quantity as <br />a result of mining. <br />/ep <br />cc: E.
