2.04.7 Hydrology Description <br />The USDA -FS has two decreed water rights located west of the permit <br />boundary. See following table and Map 23. <br />Water Right Summary <br />Water Right <br />Spring /Pond Designation <br />Decree <br />Date Owner <br />83 RUN 805P13 <br />SP33 -6 <br />0.1 CFS <br />12/31/1970 FS <br />76 <br />P32 -3 <br />0.1 AF <br />12/31/1965 FS <br />Water right 83 is a perennial spring with a shallow pond that is typically full <br />and overflowing. The spring associated with water right 83 has an average <br />and maximum flow of 0.08 and 0.50 gallons per minute respectively. The <br />Operator considers the pond associated with water right 76 to be a good <br />pond because it contains water in the spring and into the summer under <br />normal weather conditions. <br />Additionally, high value springs have been identified on USDA -FS managed <br />land within the permit boundary. They are shown on the following table. <br />• <br />Spring <br />Rate GPM <br />Spring <br />Rate GPM <br />Ave to Max <br />Ave to Max <br />SP33 -5 <br />0.2 to 2.5 <br />S34 -4 <br />1.2 to 4.8 <br />S33 -2 <br />3 to30 <br />S34 -5 <br />1.2 to 10.7 <br />S34 -1 <br />0.6 to 4.3 <br />SP34 -11 <br />2.8 to 18.8 <br />SP34 -2 <br />3.0 to 22.2 <br />S34 -22 <br />1.5 to 35.0 <br />S34 -3 <br />0.2 to 1.7 <br />The seasonal quantity and quality of the water within each aquifer is <br />presented in Volume III, Exhibit 3 and on Maps 10A, 10B and 11. The <br />Operator does not have down gradient baseline monitoring wells in the <br />northern east section of the permit area because of technical difficulties. <br />Ground water monitoring wells in the northern east portion of the permit area <br />may be technically infeasible to implement because of extreme depth. In <br />addition, it is technologically impracticable and extremely problematic to <br />obtain representative water samples at depths that exceed 2,000 feet. To <br />partially compensate for the lack of down gradient wells the Operator had <br />HydroGeo, Inc. prepare a report that uses existing up gradient baseline data <br />to predict down gradient water quality in the B -Seam and the water bearing <br />zone above the B -Seam. The report provides expected ranges in values for <br />pH, total dissolved solids, total Iron and total Manganese. HydroGeo's <br />September 2, 2008 report is located in Volume III, Exhibit 3. <br />PR -12 2.04-30- 02/10 <br />
