25 Pa. Code § 90.101 - Hydrologic balance: general requirements
(a) Coal refuse disposal activities shall be
planned and conducted to minimize disturbances to the prevailing hydrologic
balance in the permit and adjacent areas and to prevent material damage to the
hydrologic balance outside the permit area. The Department may require
additional preventive, remedial or monitoring measures to assure that material
damage to the hydrologic balance outside the permit area is
prevented.
(b) Coal refuse disposal
activities shall be planned and conducted to prevent pollution of groundwater
and surface water and prevent, to the maximum extent possible, changes to the
water quantity, depth to groundwater and location of surface water drainage
channels so that the approved postdisposal land use of the permit is not
adversely affected.
(c) The
treatment requirements and effluent limitations established under §
90.102 (relating to hydrologic
balance: water quality standards, effluent limitations and best management
practices) may not be violated.
(d)
Operations shall be conducted to prevent water pollution and, when necessary,
treatment methods shall be used.
(e) A person who conducts coal refuse
disposal activities shall conduct the disposal and reclamation operation to
prevent water pollution and, when necessary, operate and maintain the necessary
water treatment facilities until applicable treatment requirements and effluent
limitations established under §
90.102 are achieved and
maintained.
