At the Seneca II P:i ne, there are four natural sprinrs and seven spoils spring moni torinc <br />sites. Springs a , Z, 3, and 5, r:hich discharge from undisturbed areas, are monitored <br />annually in September for flow, field parameters (pH, conductivity, and temperature) and <br />the surface water parameter long list. <br />Upon request by the CMLRD, a spoils spring survey was performed on reclaimed lands in the <br />fall of 19851 five spoils springs were located within the permit boundary at that time. <br />Two more springs were identified in the fall of 1986. These spr inos were and continue to <br />be monitored every fall for flow and, in those instances where flow exceeds three gallons <br />per minute, for field parameters. <br />Because of the importance of better defining and being able to more accurately predict <br />impacts to the quality and quantity of Fish Creek due to mining at the Seneca II Mine, <br />additional monitoring has been committed to as described as follows. Spoils Spring ~7 <br />will be monitored biweekly and concurrently with sites SN'-52-6 and NPCES 004 for flow and <br />field parameters. This 'additional monitorine takes place during the normal (March to <br />October) surface water monitoring period. In June, Spoils Spring ;;1 will also be sampled <br />for the surface water parameter long list. Upon evaluation of the collected data in the <br />1967 AHR, PCC will determine if this continued empnasis in monitoring is necessary. In <br />addition, four new stream monitoring sites will be established in play 1987, assuming that <br />the sites can be legally and practically accessed. In particular, two sites will be <br />established on Fish Creek, one immediately above where Cow Camp Creek confluences with <br />Fish Creek (SN66W15AC) and one immediately below where Bond Creek confluences with Fish <br />Creek (SN66V;3DD). The remaining two sites will be established near the mouths of Cow Camp <br />and Bond Creeks. These four new sites will be monitored monthly during the growing season <br />from May through September on the same day of the month that sites NPDES 004 and 007 are <br />monitored for total dissolved solids. <br />The sites will be monitored for flow, field parameters and the surface water parameter <br />short list. This program will be subject to revision upon review and interpretation of <br />the collected data by PCC and CMLRD personnel. <br />Surface water quality de to are presented in Appendix C.
