Y7 WORK PLAN MontanaBureau of Minesand Geology WORKPLAN
PARTA: Reviewof closed basins
Closedbasin case study (Section 23) (1a)the MontanaBureau of Minesand Geology,provided for in 20-25-211,shall review, assess for scientificaccuracy, and compileground waterstudies that have been conductedin the last20 years in closedbasins or subbasinsin Montanathat may havea bearingon betterunderstanding the water balancein these basinswith respectto potentialground water withdrawalimpacts on surface water.
(1b)after compilation of the intormation,the Bureauof Minesand Geologyshall present recommendationsto the appropriatelegislative interim committee regarding any additionalstudies that wouldhelp to assess the waterbalance in closed basinsor subbasinswith respectto potentialground waterwithdrawal impacts on surtacewaters.
The MBMGhas initiated compilation, review, and assessment of studiesrelated to groundwater within the closedbasins. These repons will be compiledin electronic bibliographicformat and provided to theWPIC. The MBMGwill use these references andother information to makerecommendations as to additionalstudies related to waterbalance and potential impacts of ground-waterwithdrawals on surfacewater withinthe closedbasins. The MBMG'sinitial recommendations are providedin PARTB of thiswork plan.
PARTB: CaseStudy
Section23 (2) The Bureauof Minesand Geologyshall conducta case study to gather and developdata to determine the adequacyof any additionalrecommended minimum standardsand criteriafor hydrogeologic assessmenfs,as definedin section15, associated with ground water withdrawals and the rangeof impactsof those withdrawalson surface waterand ground waterresources. The Departmentof Natural Resourcesand Conseruationshallcoordinate with the Bureauof Minesand Geologywith regard to surfacewater monitaring and other elementsof the case study as necessary.
(3) Thecase study must be conductedin basinsclosed pursuant to sections85-2-330, 85-2-336, 85-2- 341, 85-2-343,or 85-2-344.The bureau of mines and geologyshall ensurethat at each site involvedin the case study the following,at a minimum,is accomplishedto provide the necessaryscientific data and into rmation to poI icymake rs : (a) an appropriatenumber of monitoringwells are drilled or avaitableto providescientifically defensible data; (b) aquifertesting and recoverytesting is conductedat the site; (c) waterquality samples are collectedfrom eachpumping or primary well at the beginningof the case study and a the end of the case study; (d) if informationor data hasalready been collectedfor the site, the informationis reviewed,analyzed, and verifiedby the bureauaf mines and geology; (e) if the site has an establishedsystem, that the establishedsystem is monitoredunder itscurrent or plannedoperating conditions; and (t) any other informationis collectedthat the bureauof mines and geologydetermines is necessaryto make recommendationsfor additionalminimum standards and criteriafor hydrogeologicassessments, as definedin section 15, associatedwith ground water withdrawalsand the range of impactsthose withdrawalshave on surfacewater and groundwater resources.
{} (4) ln additionto the requirementsof subsection(3), the bureau of mines and geologyshalldevelop a systemto compileexisting aquifer testing data, as well as data resultingfrom hydrogeologic assessrnenfs,as definedin section15, and monitoringactivities.
TheCase Study will comprise three phases: 1) siteinvestigations, 2) site-scale and basin-scaleassessments of impacts,and 3) evaluation/developmentof criteria for hydrologicassessments for permitapplications.
1) SiteInvestioations: Past or pendingpermit applications in closedbasins will be evaluatedwith respect to thevarious hydrogeologic conditions that occur in closed basins,including:
a) nearstream shallow alluvial aquifers; b) deepbasin, confined or semiconfined aquifers; c) intrabasinor interbasinaquifers below the basin-fillaquifers; and d) basinmargin / bedrock(fault controlled).
Theobjective of theseinvestigations will be to 1) describethese hydrologic settings particularlywhere ground water is likelyto be developed,2) describethe rangeof potentialimpacts to groundwater and surface water under each setting, and 3) assess the adequacyof the currentmethods used to predictstream depletion within the range of hydrogeologicconditions present in the closedbasins.
Eachsite investigation will include a reviewof existingreports, data (lithology from well logs,aquifer test data, geology, chemistry), and analyses; the reviewwill determine the need,if any,for additionaldata including aquifer tests, additional monitoring wells, additionalwater quality sampfing, and additional analyses of pumpingeffects with distanceand time. The MBMGwill then conduct field work to gatherdata and pertorm analysesusing the additionalinformation.
Sitespresently under consideration for thesite investigations are briefly summarized in Appendix1. In accordancewith Section 23 (4),aquifer test and monitoring data compiledfor eachsite investigation, along with additional data collected by the MBMG willbe availablethrough the Ground-Waterlnformation Center database. The MBMG hasinitiated a systemto acceptaquifer test data and hydrologic assessments for electronicstorage and retrieval.
2) Site-scaleand Basin-scale Assessments: The resultsof thesite investigations will be usedto constructgeneric conceptual and computer-based models of the rangeof hydrologicconditions evaluated in the siteinvestigations. In additionto pumping,each hydrologiccondition, or combinationof hydrologicconditions, will be modeledto examinethe effects of suchvariable stresses as recharge(natural and artificial), evapotranspiration(seasonal and landuse change), cumulative pumping (irrigation and domestic).
{.1 The approachwill be to constructa matrixof hydrologicconditions versus stress based on aquifercharacteristics and dimensions found in southwestMontana. Initially, each hydrologiccondition will be modeledunder background conditions (figure 1). Then,for eachhydrologic condition, new stresses (pumping) will be added;the impactto ground- waterlevels, surface-water flow, water levels in otherwells will be examined(figure 2). Forexample, shallow, near stream conditions will be modeledinitially under background or existingconditions (no pumping occurs at the site,but may occur nearby for pre- existingirrigation wells); then a newstress, pumping with a singleirrigation wellwill be examinedat variousdistances and pumping rates over an appropriateperiod of time.
Figure 1. The primary matrix for the casestudy examineseach hydrologic condition under baselineor backgroundstress conditions. Figure 2 The secondarymatrix for the casestudy setsup a closerexamination of eachhydrologic condition establishedin the primary matrix.
Theoverall process is illustratedby example: o fi reviewof about20 outstandingapplications shows that there are several permitapplications for wells installed within the shallownear-stream aquifer. The hydrologicassessment reports will be examinedfor their value in theoverall analysisand theirappropriateness for that application. Theaoat is not to an conditionsfound in the closed basins. o At leastone, but likelyseveral sites will be selectedfor a detailedexamination of the hydrologiccondition with particular attention paid to the aquifertest (duration, typeof analyses,etc.), monitoring well placement (distance from pumped wetl andstream, depth, etc.), and stream characteristics (totalflow, gain/loss characteristics,etc.). The detailed examination will determine iiadditional data (moremonitoring wells, more testing, water quality, etc.) are needed. o lf moredata are desired for thatsite, the MBMGwill seek cooperation and accessfrom the applicant and their agents (if applicable) to conductthe field work. o Aftercompletion of thefield work, all datafor eachwill be compiledand used to evaluatethe potentialimpact of pumpingon sudace-waterflow. o A ground-waterflow model will be constructedfor oneor moreof the sites;this modelwill be sitespecific and will be calibratedusing the pumpingtest data. o A genericmodel of pumpingfrom near-stream shallow aquifer at various dischargerates, under various background/baseline conditions as shownin establishedin the primarymatrix. The modelwill be thenbe usedto describethe rangeof responsesin groundwater and surface water from pumping from wells at variouspositions in the aquiferat variousdepths and distances as established in thesecondary matrix.
Evaluationof cumulativeimpacts will include those that occur locally (e.9, multiple wells withoverlapping zones of influence)and area wide (multiple wells and/or multiple depths).The resultsof eachthe analyses generated by the matriceswill be presented as summaryfor eachhydrologic condition. A commontool for presentationwill likely be a graphof ground-waterdecline over time compared to streamflow.
Eachof the hydrologicconditions under background and new stresses will be modeled witha mitigationor managementscheme defined in the matrixof figure3. To continue withthe example,after modeling near-stream shallow aquifers with various pumping ratesand locations,the effectof mitigationby returnflow, artificial recharge, and land usechange will be evaluated.Output from this modeling will present a comparisonof the effectsof eachmitigation/management option on the effectsof pumping. Figure 3 The third matrix will examinethe effectsof mitgation and managmentoptions on eachof the hydrologic conditions.
The modelingwill be constrainedby the rangeof aquiferparameters (transmissivity, storagecoefficient, aquifer thickness / extent,etc.) the rangeof pre-existingstresses (existingpumping rates, recharge rates, ET values, etc.) that were determined in the siteinvestigations. Sensitivity analyses will be usedto describethe effectsof the uncertaintyrelated to the measurementof transmissivity,stream flow, water levels, etc.
3) Evaluation/developmentof Criteria: The site investigations and the modelingwill be usedto evaluatethe adequacyof the existinghydrologic assessments and minimum standards.The MBMGwill review the currentpermit process with respect to thedata collected,the evaluationmethods used, and make recommendations as to additional informationand analyses as calledfor in Section23(2) of H8831. These recommendationswill relate to bothindividual permit applications and basin-scale evaluations. Section24. Case study - requirementsfor participation(2) The bureauof mines and geology,in cooperationwith the appropriatelegislative interim committee, shall notify each af the entitiesdescribed in subsection(1)(d), in writing,of the opportunityto participatein the casestudy and the requirementsfor participation.
Uponapproval of thisWork Plan by theWPIC, the MBMGwill finalize its selection of sitesfor investigationsand seek cooperation from individual well owners.

Monitoring Programs
Ground-water flow and quality respond to many influences, both man-made and natural. Severallong-term monitoring programs are underway-some for over 30 years neqT_g[a1 provide dati for decision makers to address natural and human infuences on ground water and geothermal re- sources, evaluate reclamation in hard-rock and coal mines. and mitigate the effects of the sus- tained drought. Some of these programs include monitoring of the geothermal area near Yellowstone National Park, thi BerkeleyPit and undergroundworkings in Butte, coal strip mines and coalbed-meifranefields in s6utheasternMontaria, Bie Muddv Creekin the northeast,and post-reclamation mJnitoring for severalhard-rock mines ii wesrernMontana.
