Wetlands must be CLEARLY DELINEATED on the site plan. Mine dewatering activities that
have the potential to drain wetlands or otherwise impact surface water or groundwater MUST develop and
implement a Pumping Operation and Monitoring (POM) Plan that has been approved by the
Department.
For sites that may drain wetlands — approval of a POM Plan may be required prior to coverage under
this permit. The POM Plan should be submitted to the appropriate Regional Office and in all cases must be
approved prior to operation.
The plan shall include, but is not limited to: (1) Groundwater monitoring strategies to demonstrate the effect of
pumping and to establish any pumping regime necessary to reduce impacts, and (2) Detailed plans to maintain
surrounding hydrology and respective monitoring to demonstrate compliance. See checklist at the end of the
application. Contact the Regional Office for questions specific to your mine.
