  <paragraph num="B.">
    <text>The baseline ground water hydrology information shall include:</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>The location and ownership of existing wells, springs, and other ground water supplies;</text>

    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>The depth below the surface, lithology, thickness, and approximate areal extent of identified aquifers;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(3)">
      <text>The seasonal quality, quantity, and usage of ground water;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(4)">
      <text>Monitoring data on which the description of the seasonal variation in ground water quality is based, which includes total dissolved solids or specific conductance corrected to 25°C, pH, total iron, total manganese, sulfates, acidity, and alkalinity;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(5)">
      <text>Monitoring data, on which the description of the seasonal variation in ground water quantity is based, which includes approximate rates of discharge or usage, depth of wells, and depth to water in the wells; and</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(6)">
      <text>Additional information, as required by the Bureau, which describes the usage, recharge, storage, and discharge characteristics of aquifers and the quality and quantity of ground water.</text>

  </paragraph>
  <paragraph num="C.">
    <text>The baseline surface water hydrology information shall include:</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>A description of the watersheds which will receive water discharges, including the area and land uses by approximate percentage of watershed area;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>The name and location of all surface water bodies such as streams, lakes, ponds, and impoundments;</text>

    <paragraph num="(4)">
      <text>A description of the seasonal variation in quality, quantity, and usage of surface water resources;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(5)">
      <text>Monitoring data on which the description of the seasonal variation in surface water quality is based, including analyses of total suspended solids, total dissolved solids or specific conductance corrected to 25°C, pH, total iron, total manganese, sulfates, acidity, and alkalinity;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(6)">
      <text>Monitoring data on which the description of the seasonal variation in surface water quantity is based, including measurements obtained during periods indicative of different seasonal flow rates; and</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(7)">
      <text>Additional information pertaining to quality, quantity, or usage of surface water as required by the Bureau, which describes characteristics of the surface water system.</text>
