absence of mine inflow /discharge, discharges are not anticipated. <br />3) Monitoring all of non -seep inflows into mine to include source, quantity, duration <br />and quality (pH, Temperature, and Electrical Conductance). Due to the sealed and <br />reclaimed status of the Munger Canyon Mine, such monitoring is not practicable, and <br />is no longer required. <br />4) Monitor quantities of water discharged from the mine, consumed in the mine and <br />imported for use in the mine Due to the sealed and reclaimed status of the Munger <br />Canyon Mine, there is currently no discharge from the mine, consumption in the <br />mine, or importation for use in the mine Water use would be limited to occasional <br />road watering during future reclamation operations. <br />5) Results of the quarterly groundwater monitoring shall be submitted to the Division <br />immediately after data collection and analysis, and will be compiled and summarized <br />within an Annual Hydrology Report, to be structured around the normal water year. <br />The Division has determined that Monitoring Wells GW -2, GW -4, GW -7, and GW -8 are no <br />longer necessary for impact monitoring of future bond release demonstration, and these wells <br />were sealed by the operator in 2007. <br />E. Water Rights and Replacement <br />Portions of the application relevant to surface and ground water rights in the vicinity of the <br />mine were submitted to the Office of the State Engineer, Division of Water Resources. The <br />State Engineer's Office has determined that there are no problems with the operation with <br />respect to water rights. Water requirements for the operation and water rights held by the <br />operator are addressed in Sections 2.3.3 and 2.3.3.1 of the application text, and in permit <br />Appendix C. <br />The permit application contains information on water rights in the vicinity of the operation, <br />indicating that no ground water rights (springs or wells) have been adjudicated within a <br />three -mile radius of the permit area. One surface water right is identified (H.G. McClane <br />ditch) along East Salt Creek. It is highly unlikely that this water right will be impacted by the <br />operation. <br />The applicant has secured rights for 10 cfs discharge from the Mack Pumping Pipeline for <br />use at the mine Total consumptive use projected for the Munger Canyon mining operation, <br />which will use water diverted from the same source, is less than 0.07 cfs. The applicant has <br />demonstrated that rights have been secured to sufficiently satisfy consumptive water use <br />requirements for the operation. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />F.
