C. Ground and Surface Water Monitoring <br /> 1 . The applicant will conduct monitoring of ground water in a manner <br /> approved by the Division (4.05. 13( l )) . The ground water <br /> monitoring plan is as follows : <br /> a. The baseline data gathering program (New Horizon 2 - July <br /> 1986 to July 1987) took monthly static water levels and <br /> quarterly water quality samples in January, April , July and <br /> October. Results are discussed and tabulated in Appendix 3 <br /> of the permit application. <br /> b. All wells in the New Horizon 1 area will be monitored on a <br /> monthly basis for water levels and adjusted to MSL. Water <br /> Quality parameters will be collected and analyzed on a <br /> semi-annual basis . <br /> All wells in the New Horizon Mine 2 are will be monitored <br /> monthly for water levels adjusted to MSL and samples will be <br /> collected quarterly for water quality parameters with the <br /> exception of wells 13, 14 and 15 which will be on a <br /> semi-annual basis . <br /> c. Three springs are being monitored at New Horizon 1 , two <br /> spoils and one highwall . Monthly measurements of field water <br /> quality parameters and semi-annual full suite water quality <br /> samples are taken . No springs or seeps have been discovered <br /> at New Horizon 2 . <br /> 2. The applicant will conduct monitoring of surface water in a <br /> manner approved by the Division . The monitoring plan was <br /> submitted under 2 .05.6(3)(b) ( iii ) and includes the following: <br /> (4.05. 13(2)) <br /> a. The baseline program (New Horizon 2 - July 1986 to July 1987) <br /> included monthly visits to maintain , service , take flow <br /> measurements , take field parameters and collect full suite <br /> water quality samples . Results of this program are discussed <br /> and tabulated in Appendix 3 of the New Horizon 2 permit <br /> application. <br /> b . The current monitoring program will consist of monthly field <br /> parameters and quarterly full suite water quality samples . <br /> c . NPO'cS sites ( sediment pond outlets) will have monthly <br /> maintenance, service , flow measurements , field parameters and <br /> quarterly full suite water quality samples . <br /> D. Stream Buffer Zones <br /> 1 . The Division proposes to approve surface mining activities within <br /> 100 feet of a perennial stream. This decision is based on a <br /> finding that the original stream channel will not be disturbed , <br /> water quality and quantity shall not be adversely affected, and <br /> _18 <br />
