respectively, along Dry Creek. The list of pazameters sampled is found in <br />Table 13-1 of Tab 13. <br />In addition to the monitoring discussed above, the operator is required to <br />monitor discharges from two NPDES discharge points (sediment ponds) as <br />required by the mine's NPDES permit. <br />The current stream monitoring program has the following deficiency: <br />Site HGSDl is 1.5 miles upstream of the loadout; Stokes Gulch and inflows <br />and outflows from agriculture enter Dry Creek before it enters the permit <br />area. Attempts at interpretation of the loadout's effects on the surface water <br />quality of Dry Creek have been hindered by this situation. Please refer to <br />Tab 15 of the permit application and Figure 4, on page 17a of this document. <br />In order to insure that results from the groundwater monitoring program are <br />representative of alluvial quality in the Dry Creek alluvium upstream and <br />downstream of the disturbance associated with the HG Loadout (see "ground <br />water monitoring plan", above) and to minimize non-mine related influences <br />between upstream and downstream surface water monitoring sites, the <br />following stipulation has been added to the permit: <br />Stipulation # 3 <br />THE PERMTTTEE MUST SUBMIT A REVISION TO THE PERMIT, IN <br />CONSULTATION WITH THE DIVISION, ADDRESSING CHANGES TO <br />THE GROUND AND SURFACE WATER MONITORING PLAN AND <br />HAVE THIS REVISION TO THE DIVISION FOR ITS APPROVAL <br />WTI'HIN 60 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE AND WELLS AND <br />SURFACE MONITORING STIES IN OPERATION BEFORE FALL <br />SAMPLING, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. <br />H. Transfer of Wells <br />No transfer of wells is proposed. All monitoring wells and the Yampa Valley <br />Alluvial Well will be reclaimed prior to bond release (4.05.14). <br />I. Discharge of Water into an Underground Mine <br />No surface water will be dischazged into underground mine workings (4.05.15). <br />19 <br />
