2.05.6(3)(b) Hydrologic Monitoring Plan <br />Results of water quality and quantity monitoring and analyses will be reported to the <br />Division on an annual basis in the Annual Hydrologic Report. This Annual Hydrologic <br />Report will cover hydrologic years from October 1 of one year through September 30 of <br />the next year. The report will be submitted to the Division within six (6) months of the <br />completion of the hydrologic year. Additionally, results of water sampling will be submitted <br />to the Division each quarter, within 30 days of the end of the quarter. The quarterly <br />submittals will include the results of the pond inspections, refuse pile inspections, surface <br />water sampling results, groundwater sampling results, refuse pile piezometer levels, and <br />NPDES DMR's. Final inspections of CRDA #1 (January 2011) and CRDA #2 and RSRDA <br />(December 2008) have been performed in accordance with Rule 4.10.2(2)(a) and are no <br />longer reported. The Division will be notified within five (5) days after receiving analyses <br />of sample collections that indicate noncompliance with a permit or standard. Where <br />NPDES permit effluent limitation noncompliance has occurred, the analytic results along <br />with written notice of noncompliance will be forwarded to the Division. <br />Surface Water Monitoring Plan <br />Surface water monitoring includes sediment pond and mine dewatering discharges, flows <br />in Cottonwood and Rapid Creeks; as well as, monthly flow in Coal Creek. Past monitoring <br />included the Colorado River quality, annual springs and seep surveys and monitoring flow <br />in Jerry Creek. Surface water monitoring locations are shown on Exhibit 56. <br />Sediment pond discharge will be monitored only when pond dewatering occurs as a result <br />of a 10 -year, 24 -hour event or lesser event. A grab sample will be taken from the pond <br />discharge. Mine dewatering discharge points and pond discharges will be sampled in <br />accordance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System governed by the <br />State of Colorado and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. The samples will be <br />tested for the parameters listed in Table 18 -1. <br />TR -62 18 -1 Rev 07/11 <br />
