<br />A spill prevention control plan has been prepared and can be implemented as <br />situations arise. Generally, the plan calls for containing any potential spills (i.e., oil, <br />diesel fuel, gasoline, etc.) and preventing the material from contaminating surface and/or <br />ground water. <br />Reclamation plans have been developed to restore surface lands and drainage. <br />These plans are discussed in detail in the 1981 mine permit application. <br />A survey of all water users of both surface and ground water has been made and an <br />assessment of potential impacts completed. This information is contained in the 1981 <br />mine permit application and Appendix 5 of this report. <br />Monitoring of area hydrologic functions will continue at the two mines. This is an <br />important mitigative measure because it provides for identification of potential impacts <br />and corrective actions to be taken. <br />5.0 DAONiTORING PROGRA~4S FOR 1986 <br />Surface and ground water sampling to be conducted during 1986 will be similar to <br />that of 1985. Because of increased activity both underground and on the surface, <br />monthly, quarterly and annual data will be gathered at the mines and adjacent areas. This <br />data will be used to further assess potential impacts of mine operations and effects on the <br />existing hydrologic balance. Proposed stations and parameters to be monitored are <br />included below. During 1986 WFC may find it necessary to further modify this program. <br />In this event, WFC will notify the Division in writing. <br />Results from the 1985 water year indicate many of the water quality parameters to <br />be near or below the detection limits. Those parameters which will be continued during <br />the 1986 program and those which will be discontinued are presented in Table 4. <br />_27_ <br />
