stabilized; 3) erosion prevented; and 9) additional contributions of suspended <br />sediment to receiving streams are minimized. <br />Tab 12 (Facilities) discusses pertinent aspects of the surface water control plan <br />(Exhibit 12-2) developed for the Loadout facility. All facilities associated with <br />the plan will be operated and maintained during the life of the Loadout facility <br />to minimize erosion, control runoff from the facility, and prevent the <br />contribution of additional sediment to receiving surface water resources. <br />Monitoring and Reporting <br />Tab 13, Hydrologic Monitoring Program, provides details of past and proposed <br />efforts regarding monitoring of local ground and surface water. Both surface and <br />groundwater monitoring sites will be maintained for the life of the Loadout <br />facility or until such time as CDMG may agree that they are no longer necessary. <br />Following consultation with CDMG, surface water monitoring at Site HGSD2 ceased <br />after April 1994. Monitoring of groundwater from wells HGDAL-1 and HGDAL-2 ceased <br />in October 1995. The monitoring at these stations ceased in accordance with the <br />monitoring plan as outlined in Tab 13. In 2005, a new upgradient well, HGDAL-6 <br />was installed at the request o£ CDMG. CDMG anticipates using this well to confirm <br />that shallow alluvial groundwater quality in the vicinity of the Loadout is of <br />"limited use and quality" and in determining the need for a point of compliance. <br />in addition, monitoring at the outfalls of Ponds 1 and 2 (OOlA and 002A) will be <br />conducted during the life of the facility in accordance with the terms and <br />conditions of CDPS Permit No. COG-850006 (see Appendix 13-1, Tab 13). <br />Ail surface and ground water data collected at each monitoring site in each future <br />calendar year (January through December) will be compiled and submitted to the <br />CDMG in the form of the Loadout Facility Annual Hydrology Report (AHR) by March 1 <br />following the end of each calendar year. <br />Stream Buffer Zones <br />As defined in Section 4.05.18 of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, <br />the mining operation shall not disturb the stream buffer zone within 100 feet of a <br />perennial stream or stream with a biological community. Dry Creek is not <br />classified as perennial, although during wet years certain reaches may flow year <br />round. The stream is characterized as intermittent.
