A minor amount of <br />grading was done in 1987 on the portal bench to improve drainage. <br />During 1988, 1989 and 1993 portions of the bench cover material <br />slumped and were repaired and seeded. <br />The hydrologic monitoring plan is contained in the permit document, <br />pages 124 and 124a which were revised July 28, 1994. Exhibit H-1 <br />and Z show the various monitoring locations. <br />SURFACE WATER <br />The following table shows the flow, pH and conductivity for <br />upstream and downstream Hubbard Creek by quarter for 1994 compared <br />to the same month averages from 1982 through 1993. <br /> "•: U er Hubbard Creek <br />p <br />P Lower Hubbar Cree <br />d k <br />Quarter Parameter AVE 1994 AVE 1994 <br />1st Flow, cfs 19.0 4.4 - - <br /> pH 8.2 7.9 8.1 8.1 <br /> Cond umhos/cm 193 270 221 270 <br />~~2nd Flow, cfs 28.0 2.6 - - <br /> pH 8.3 7.3 8.3 7.4 <br /> Cond 198 310 210 310 <br /> ;; <br />`:C <br /> <br />3rd Flow 6.2 3.0 - - <br /> pH 8.2 8.5 8.2 8.3 <br /> Cond 273 230 291 250 <br />4th Flow 6.6 7.0 - - <br /> pH 8.2 7.6 8.2 7.4 <br /> Cond 214 310 253 330 <br />There was no discharge from the sediment ponds during the year. <br />
