permit area. If any additional streams are found to be covered by the stream buffer <br />zone Rule, please provide the Division with a plan to properly mark and protect <br />them. <br />9. Based on a review of the West Elk Mine's permit text regarding stream buffer <br />zones on page 2.05 -64, there is no discussion of stream buffer zone markers. <br />Please review this text and add a discussion of stream buffer zone markers. Please <br />ensure that this discussion is consistent with the markers that are on the ground. <br />10. The West Elk Mine has approved exceptions to the stream buffer zones which are <br />discussed in the text on page 2.05 -64. This text discusses the exceptions along the <br />North Fork of the Gunnison River and Sylvester Gulch. Since the stream buffer <br />zone Rule applies to all perennial, intermittent and ephemeral streams with a <br />drainage area greater than one mile, West Elk will need to review all of the other <br />streams within the mine's permit area. West Elk will need to address any other <br />required stream buffer zone exemptions, even if there is only a road crossing the <br />stream. <br />11. Figure 18, on page 2.05 -66, shows the stream buffer zones along the North Fork of <br />the Gunnison River. West Elk will need to include a map or figure with the other <br />stream buffer zones within the mine's permit area. <br />This concludes the Division's 2014 Midterm Review (MT -07) for the West Elk Mine. <br />Colowyo Mine <br />Permit No. C- 1981 -019 <br />11 <br />2010 Midterm Review <br />10 May 2010 <br />
