Overall, potential impacts to water resources within the permit area <br />appeaz to be consistent with the predicted probable hydrologic consequences as discussed in the <br />permit application package. The following are comments concerning water quality trends and the <br />adequacy of the submittal. <br />Well completion information could not be located in the permit or in the AHR. It would be <br />helpful to have this information in the AHR for easy reference. This information should <br />include: well depth, ground surface elevation, measuring point elevation, screened interval, <br />and the formation the well is completed in etc. <br />2. It is unclear from the presentation of data whether total versus dissolved analyses aze being <br />performed for certain analyzes on a consistent basis. Total and dissolved analyses for each <br />set of data should be clearly identified. This is important because surface water and <br />groundwater standards are specifically established as total ,total recoverable, or dissolved <br />analyses. <br />The water monitoring parameter list provided in Appendix No. V states that <br />surface water samples will be analyzed for total recoverable parameters except <br />as noted. However, on some surface water data pages certain analyzes are <br />marked as 'TR' or 'Recoverable', which is contradictory to what is stated in <br />the Appendices. <br />It appears that the groundwater parameter list is used for spring water also. <br />However, It is not clear whether total or dissolved analyses have been <br />performed for spring water monitoring data. <br />
