2.05.6(3)(b) Hydrologic Monitoring Plan <br />Results of water quality and quantity monitoring and analyses will be reported to the <br />Division on an annual basis in the Annual Hydrologic Report. This Annual Hydrologic <br />Report will cover hydrologic years from October 1 of one year through September 30 of <br />the next year. The report will be submitted to the Division within six (6) months of the <br />completion of the hydrologic year. Additionally, results of water sampling will be submitted <br />to the Division each quarter, within 30 days of the end of the quarter. The quarterly <br />submittals will include the results of the pond inspections, refuse pile inspections, surface <br />water sampling results, groundwater sampling results, refuse pile piezometer levels, and <br />NPDES DMR's. The Division will be notified within five (5) days after receiving analyses of <br />sample collections that indicate noncompliance with a permit or standard. Where NPDES <br />permit effluent limitation noncompliance has occurred, the analytic results along with <br />written notice of noncompliance will be forwarded to the Division. <br />Surface Water Monitoring Plan <br />Surface water monitoring includes sediment pond and mine dewatering discharges, flows <br />in Cottonwood and Rapid Creeks; as well as, monthly flows in Coal and Jeny Creeks. <br />Past monitoring included the Colorado River quality and annual springs and seep surveys. <br />Surface water monitoring locations are shown on Exhibit 56. <br />Sediment pond discharge will be monitored only when pond dewatering occurs as a result <br />of a 10-year, 24-hour event or lesser event. A grab sample will be taken from the pond <br />discharge. Mine dewatering discharge points and pond discharges will be sampled in <br />accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System governed by the <br />State of Colorado and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. The samples will be <br />tested for the parameters listed in Table 18-1. <br />VOL 5 Tab 18 18-1 (Rev) 07/06 <br />
