Flow values at this site are <br />affected by the pumping of water from this pond for the truck wash <br />system and for water trucks (dust control). Pumping for the truck wash <br />system began on September 18, 1984. Also, the upper end of this pond was <br />regraded in 2002. Review of the TDS plot indicates an increasing trend. <br />Grassy Creek Drainage. Four monitoring sites lie within the Grassy <br />Creek drainage: Site 1, located upstream on Grassy Creek; NPDES <br />• Discharge Point 003, also known as the Shop Reservoir or the Northwest <br />Impoundment, located just north of the mine shop area; Site 2, located <br />approximately 0.1 mile downstream of where NPDES 003 discharges into <br />Grassy Creek; and Site 3, which monitors discharges from pre-SMCRA <br />mining areas and is located adjacent to Site 2. <br />- Surface Water Site SW-S2-1 (SSG1) This site monitors Grassy Creek <br />upstream of mining by the Seneca II Mine. It was dry in September 2006. <br />Review of the TDS plot indicates a slightly increasing trend. <br />- NPDES Discharge Point 003 (NPDES3) Hydrographs presented in Appendix <br />D show that flow has increased at this site since September 18, 1984, <br />when operation of the truck wash system began. water is siphoned from <br />the Wadge Impoundment (NPDES 002) into a holding pond. Overflow from <br />the holding pond is diverted into the shop ditch, which flows into NPDES <br />003. water is pumped from the holding pond to the wash rack, drains <br />into a settling pond, and then into the same shop ditch. This operation <br />has increased the flow at NPDES 003 while decreasing the flow at NPDES <br />002. <br />15 <br />
