2.04.7(2) — Surface Water Information
1. DRMS: The Division has no further concerns regarding this question. Revised descriptions
appear on page 13 of Section 2.04.7 in the submittal dated May 26, 2011. However, the
Division has additional questions concerning Section 2.04.7.
a) In the section titled "Surface Water Monitoring" on pages 17 and 18 of Section 2.04.7,
"Hydrology Description ", it is unclear in the discussion which surface water monitoring
sites are to be included in the baseline monitoring program and whether they will
continue to be monitored as part of the operational monitoring program. As an example,
there is a discussion of monitoring sites SCC and NCC but it is not clear if they are part
of the NHN baseline monitoring program since they do not appear in Tables 2.04.7 -5,
2.04.7 -6 or 2.04.7 -7. As another example, monitoring sites SW -N1, SW -N3, SW -N6,
SW -N7 and NPDES 1 are mentioned as sites with historic data and are listed in Table
2.04.7 -5 under "Historical Reference Data ", but the text states that it is anticipated that
these five sites will be monitored before disturbance. It is also not clear if "historical
reference" in Table 2.04.7 -5 means baseline. Please revise the discussion and Table
2.04.7 -5, if necessary, to make it clear which sites are baseline monitoring sites, which
sites are operational monitoring sites, and what "historical reference" means.
Response — The text in page 17 -18 and Table 2.04.7 -5 have been revised to clarify
baseline monitoring sites, operational monitoring sites and "historical reference".
b) On pages 17 and 18 of Section 2.04.7, "Hydrology Description ", there appear to be
several typographic errors in the section titled "Surface Water Monitoring ". In the first
paragraph, "nine 14" should be "14 ". In the same paragraph, it appears that SW -N11
should be SW -N211 and SW -N12 should be SW -N212. In the last paragraph of that
section, it appears that SW -N13 should be SW -N213 and SW -N14 should be SW -N214.
Please revise accordingly.
Response — The typos have been corrected.
6. DRMS: In the May 26, 2011 submittal, Western Fuels explained that the monitoring of
Nygren Draw will be resumed before disturbance. Map 2.04.7 -1 was revised to include sites
SW -N213 and SW -N214. The Division requests that baseline monitoring of sites SW -N213
and SW -N214 continues for at least four consecutive quarters.
Response — Monitoring of sites SW -213 and SW -214 have resumed and will be
monitored at the same frequency as all other baseline sites. .
7. DRMS: Western Fuels updated Map 2.04.7 -1 in the submittal dated May 26, 2011 to show
all of the sub laterals. However, are all of the irrigation ditches and their branches also
shown on Map 2.04.7 -1? Please refer to question no. 13 in this section
