Rule 2.04.6(1)-(2) — Geology Description <br />The geology description contained in Tab 6 of the permit includes a description of <br />stratigraphy and structure of the permit area and the adjacent area. Tab 6 includes information <br />that describes the relationship of the structural geology and the occurrence, movement, quality <br />and quantity of potentially impacted surface and groundwater. This included information about <br />the feasibility of the proposed reclamation plan, assessment of the potential for off-site impacts <br />to the hydrologic balance, assists in the development of the Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />and the Hydrologic monitoring plan. A geologic map is included and meets the requirements of <br />Rule 2.10. The geologic maps include information regarding: the nature, depth, and thickness of <br />the coal seams to be mined, any other coal seams in the permit area, the stratum of the <br />overburden, and the stratum immediately below the lowest coal seam. The strike and the dip of <br />the coal mined was included and the location of the outcrops located in the permit area. Core <br />samples from the permit area are analyzed and included in Tab 6. <br />Rule 2.04.7(1), (3), and (4) -- Hydrology Description <br />Tab 7 in the S2W permit contains information regarding groundwater (Rule 2.04.7(1)). <br />The permit contains a discussion of the groundwater hydrology of the permit and adjacent area, <br />including details about the following: <br />1. The depth below the surface and the horizontal extent of the potentiometric surface of <br />any aquafer identified above, within and below the lowest coal seam to be mined. <br />2. Tab 7 identifies the lithology and thickness of the aquafers. <br />3. The groundwater discussion identifies the seasonal quantity and quality of water within <br />the identified aquifers. <br />4. The ownership, uses and locations for all existing wells, springs and other developed <br />groundwater sources have been identified. <br />5. The hydrology section contains information detailing the water quality sampling and <br />laboratory analysis that complies with the requirements outlined in Rule 2.03.3(4). <br />6. Tab 7 discusses the recharge, storage and discharge characteristics of the identified <br />aquifers. Also included in this discussion are the reported yields of wells within and <br />adjacent to the permit area which are registered with the Office of the State Engineer. <br />Tab 18 also contains a discussion that satisfies the requirements of Rule 2.04.7(3). The <br />discussion contains information regarding alternative water supply. The alternative water <br />supply will come from the Temple Reservoir No. 1, the Stagecoach Reservoir, 005 pond, 006 <br />pond and Production Well No. 1. The only anticipated groundwater impact that could <br />require mitigation would be to the Temple Well No. 1. <br />a cow <br />{tee ti <br />555 Street Address, Room 555, Denver, CO 55555-5555 P 555.555.5555 <br />} Is <br />� <br />
