E. Acid - forming and Toxic - forming Spoil <br />1. There is no evidence of acid- or toxic - forming material at this site. <br />F. Impoundments <br />Refer to Section D, Sedimentation Ponds, above. <br />G. Surface and Ground Water Monitoring <br />1. The applicant will conduct monitoring of ground water in a manner approved <br />by the Division. The ground water monitoring plan is specified on Page 2.04 - <br />41of the permit document (4.05.13(1)). <br />2. The applicant will conduct monitoring of surface water in a manner approved <br />by the Division. The monitoring plan was submitted under 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv) and <br />as specified on page 2.05 -46iii of the permit document (4.05.13(2)). <br />H. Discharge of Water into an Underground Mine <br />1. The Division approved the transfer of mine water from the Elk Creek D seam <br />workings to the abandoned Somerset B seam workings. Initially, water transfer <br />was approved in TR -47 to the Somerset C seam working but a coal seam rib <br />was encountered. The drill hole was extended to the B seam in TR -50. The <br />volume of transferred water, pH and total suspended solids are reported each <br />year in the annual hydrology report. The well is located in the Elk Creek <br />facilities area and is known as well D2B. <br />2. The Division approved a second mine water transfer well from the Elk Creek D <br />seam workings to the abandoned Somerset B seam workings in TR -51. The <br />volume of transferred water, pH and total suspended solids are reported each <br />year in the annual hydrology report. The well is located at the Hubbard Creek <br />Fansite area and is known as well 132132. <br />I. Stream Buffer Zones <br />1. The Division has approved surface and underground mining activities within <br />100 feet or through perennial streams. This decision was based on a finding <br />that on Hubbard Creek the original stream channel will be restored, water <br />quality and quantity shall not be adversely affected, and appropriate riparian <br />vegetation will be reestablished. On the North Fork of the Gunnison, the <br />decision was based on the fact that the original stream channel would not be <br />affected and water quality and quantity would not be adversely affected. The <br />buffer zone variance was granted for the areas located at the stream crossing <br />and pre -law bench area at the lower Hubbard Creek site and the topsoil <br />stockpile at the upper Hubbard Creek site. The buffer zone variances on the <br />19 <br />
