• 4.05.13 Surface and Groundwater Monitori <br />Because no groundwater has been or is expected to be encountered, no <br />groundwater monitoring is planned. <br />The planned surface water monitoring plan includes monitoring required <br />under an NPDES Permit to be issued by the Colorado Department of Health. <br />Surface water monitoring. locations are shown on the Drainage and <br />Sediment Control Plan Map (Map 6). Surface water samples will be <br />analyzed for pH, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids <br />(TDS), iron, manganese, oil and grease content, and other parameters <br />that may be required by the NPDES Permit. Sunbelt will measure the <br />quantity and quality of any discharge from the sedimentation pond in <br />compliance with the NPDES Permit. <br />Sunbelt will report on discharge in accordance with the Clean Water Act <br />of 1977 under an NPDES Permit on an annual basis; therefore, Sunbelt <br />• will plan to use the NPDES report for filing with the Division. <br />Following the cessation of use of underground mine workings, Sunbelt <br />will continue to monitor surface water flow and quality until determined <br />that the reclamation has met the requirements of Section 4.05, such that <br />the disturbance has minimized any impact to the prevailing hydrologic <br />balance and the post-mining land use has been attained. Equipment, <br />structures, and other devices necessary to measure and sample the <br />quality and quantity of surface water discharge will be removed when no <br />longer needed at the mine site. <br />4.05.14 Transfer of Wells <br />Sunbelt does not plan to transfer any monitoring wells to water wells. <br />4.05.15 Water Rights and Replacement <br />. Sunbelt does not anticipate that any water supply or water right of any <br />owner of interest will be affected by the mining operation. <br />4.05-8 <br />
