The intent of the monitoring program <br />was to obtain quantity and quality date from flowing ponds. <br />However, a review of the historic data and discussions with the <br />person conducting the monitoring work indicate that data has been <br />obtained from stagnant or nondischarging ponds. I think you will <br />agree with me that this does not provide the type of hydrologic <br />information the program was designed to develope. Therefore, <br />unless the Division disagrees, stagnant or nondischarging ponds <br />will not be monitored, except for a notation that indicates the <br />ponds are not discharging. <br />I do not believe this modifies the existing monitoring program, <br />thus a revision to the existing permit is not required. It is <br />Orchard Valley's opinion that the above is a clarification of the <br />existing monitoring program. I hope the Division does not <br />interpret this clarification as an attempt to reduce the monitoring <br />requirements; but rather views it as orchard all y~and sees the <br />clarification acting as a procedure to ensure collection and <br />. reporting of meaningful hydrologic data. <br />I'll look forward to <br />questions contact me <br />Sincerely, <br />~.~ /i~-- <br />Richard Mills <br />Supervisor; Environm <br />your comments on the above, and if there are <br />at your convenience. <br />antal Affairs ~,'-1.!`-- <br />~~n" CCT 0 9 X990 <br />'dliner ~anC <br />~eCi?m2?icn =`ivlSir~ <br />.~,.J`i :~i.~ <br /> <br /> <br />
