Final Technical Guidance

 DEP ID: 563-2112-606. Title: Procedures for Establishing the Quantity of Water in Low-Yield Wells. Description: Surface and underground coal mine operators are required to conduct premining surveys of the quality and quantity of the water supplies that may be impacted by mining operations. In performing premining surveys to establish the quantity of a water supply, it is important that operators follow established testing procedures to ensure that results are meaningful and valid for pre- and post-mining comparisons. This guidance provides direction to the District Mining staff, surface and underground coal mine operators, and their consultants by establishing alternative methods that may be used to evaluate low-yield water supplies (five gallons per minute or less). The Department did not receive any public comments on this guidance. Contact: Questions regarding the draft technical guidance should be directed to Gregory Shuler at (717) 783-1199, gshuler@state.pa.us.

 Effective date: Upon publication of notice as final in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

JOHN HANGER, 
Secretary
