Run -off from the loadout disturbance is generally contained in two
sediment ponds which contain the run -off from the batch weigh loadout
and most of the disturbance to the east. Run -off from a transfer tower the
disturbance associated with a conveyor support and the disturbed area
along the western loadout track will not be contained in sediment ponds.
There are six SAE areas (SAE 10 through 15) where run -off will be filtered
through a sediment fence before it leaves the permit area. Sample points
for the SAEs will be located near the sediment fences. The design for the
alternative sediment control devices are presented in Exhibit 8 beginning
on pages Exh -B- 187,189, 197, 209, 234 and 236. Locations are shown on
Map 20 and 39. A demonstration has been made that the vegetation is
adequate to control erosion on SAE numbers 1 through 9. The SAE 9
grass filter demonstration begins on page Exh -8 -198. The SAE 1 -8 grass
filter demonstration begins on page Exh -8 -231.
During 2002, fourteen exploration holes were drilled to identify the burn line in
the B -Seam. Hole locations are shown on Map 9, Hydrologic Monitoring
Location Map. The Operator is considering constructing a new B -Seam portal
in lieu of accessing the B -Seam through ramps from the D -Seam. An
accurate location of the burn line is necessary to determine if a new portal is
feasible. The explorations holes will be drilled with a small skid mounted drill.
Hole diameters will be 6- inches or less. The average hole depth is 350 -feet
with a range in depth from 80 to 510 feet. The holes will be sealed in
accordance with Rule 4.07. Run -off from the drill pads and associated light
use roads /trails will be contained by sediment ponds B & C.
During 2002, one exploration hole KM -3 was drilled to assess the presence
of water in the old King Mine workings. The hole location is shown on Map 9,
Hydrologic Monitoring Location Map. The hole was sealed in accordance
with Rule 4.07. Run -off from the drill pads will be contained by a sediment
fence as described above.
During 2003, the Operator drilled five exploration holes. Three were drilled
along Terror Creek and two were drilled in Stephens Draw.
During 2003, the Operator drilled fourteen geotechnical holes and three
alluvial wells for the proposed new gob pile. Drilling was from new light use
roads so drill pads were not required.
During 2004, the Operator did not drill any gob vent holes or exploration
_holes. During 2005, the Operator drilled five gob vent holes—
