Results of the quarterly ground water monitoring are submitted to the Division <br />immediately after data collection and analysis. Results of additional monitoring are <br />submitted in an annual hydrologic report (AHR). The AHR will detail inflows, <br />discharges and consumption of water within the mine and shall be structured around the <br />normal "water year" (October 1 through September 30). No specific due date for AHR <br />submittal is specified in the permit application document, although the AHR has <br />generally been submitted in January. The following stipulation is included to specify <br />a due date for AHR submittal. <br />STIPULATION NO. 26 <br />THE ANNUAL HYDROLOGIC REPORT (AHR) COVERING THE <br />PREVIOUS WATER YEAR FOR THE MCCLANE CANYON <br />MINE WILL BE SUBMITTED NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 1 <br />EACH YEAR. <br />SURFACE WATER <br />Surface water hydrology description is provided in Sections 4.2.2 and 4.2.6 of the <br />permit application. The surface water monitoring program is described in Section 4.2.7. <br />Required analytical monitoring parameters are specified in Table 4.2-15, and monitoring <br />sites are depicted on Figure 4.2-2. <br />RN-04 amendments included clarification in the application text that East Salt Creek and <br />McGlone Creek flow data would be obtained by measuring rated culvert depths, rather <br />than use of a continuous recording station and crest stage gage, and several <br />modifications were made regarding required analytical parameters. In response to <br />Division request, the downstream sampling point on East Salt creek was relocated to the <br />Munger Canyon bridge, and the operator committed to flow measurement at that <br />location. <br />Surface water quantity and quality will be monitored upstream and downstream of the <br />disturbance in McClane Canyon and on East Salt Creek upstream and downstream of <br />the confluence of McClane Canyon and East Salt Creek in a manner approved by the <br />Division. The monitoring plan was submitted under 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv), and includes the <br />following, pursuant to 4.05.13(2). <br />SW-1 and SW-8 (East Salt Creek upstream and downstream): Quarterly Flow and <br />Quality. <br />SW-2 (McClane Creek below mine bench): Flow and quality, once during spring <br />snowmelt, and once during storm event runoff. <br />SW-5 (McClane Creek above mine bench): Water quality samples twice a year, <br />once during spring snowmelt, and once during storm event runoff. <br />18 <br />
