<br />• located above the monitored panel. The station will be monitored at the same frequency as the <br />upsaeam station. <br />Veeetadon Monitoring <br />TCC will conduct visual surveys of the flooded areas of the Fish Creek AVF to determine changes <br />in speues composition, if any. The observation will be made during the growing season as per the <br />following: the area within the valley not flooded by mining of that specific panel will be walked and <br />the number of species encountered will be cataloged. 'T'his annual survey will be conducted until all <br />of the mining within the Fish Creek AVF located in the NMD is completed. Therefore, with mining <br />of each succeeding panel additional area will be added to the survey. 'T'he species composition will <br />be compiled each year and compared to the prior year's survey to determine changes or shifts in <br />composition. <br />Stream Gradient/Ponding <br />Prior to and after mining a panel, the creek will be surveyed to establish its gradient. This survey will <br />be conducted for each panel in the NMD. The only caveat for the surveying program is that if too <br />deep of a pool is formed in the area, and the survey can not be conducted safely, then the post <br />mining survey will not be done. In lieu of this, the ponded area will be surveyed, either with an <br />instrument or aerially, to verify the amount of ponding resulting from each panel. <br />The result of all of the above monitoring will be presented in TCC AHR. <br />• <br />• <br />PR99-OS 03/28/00 <br />
