4--14 • 4.2.2.3 Existing Groundwater Rights There are no groundwater rights adjudicated within a three mile radius of the permit area. The groundwater appropriations from wells and springs in the large region of the permit area are listed in Table 4.2-4S. There are only four springs with adjudicated water rights upstream of the permit area. The closest groundwater right to the permit area is about nine miles distant. No effect on any groundwater right is expected from the proposed facilities and operations described in Chapter 2.0. 4.2.3 Ground Water Monitoring A water quality monitoring program was established to monitor the effects of the McClave Canyon and Munger Canyon mines on ground water in the area. The groundwater monitoring program shown below has been modified to include monitoring of GW-7, near the refuse disposal area: 1. Quarterly monitoring of wells GW-2, GW-3, GW-4, GW-6, GW7 and GW-8 for Static Water Level, pH, Temperature, and Specific Conductance. 2. Water quality sampling of mine water discharges as required by NPDES and CDOH permit. 3. Monitoring of all non-seep inflows into to mine to include source, quantity, duration and quality (pH, Electrical Conductance, and Temperature). 4. Monitor quantities of water discharged from the mine, consumed in the mine, and imported for use in the mine. Results of the quarterly groundwater monitoring shall be submitted to the Division immediately after data collection and analysis. Results of additional monitoring will be submitted to the Division in an annual hydrological report. The annual report will detail inflows, discharges and consumption of water within the mine and shall be structured around the normal "water year' (October 1 through September 30). Water samples will be collected with a bailer after the depth to water table has been measured. All monitoring wells shall be pumped at lease once a year and prior to sample collection with an air lift or a bailer. Mu VOLUME VI 1 - 22 - 96
