A. Construction of support facilities did not result in any damage to any protected <br /> structures. Therefore the Division has previously approved those activities <br /> (4.04(6)). <br /> III. Hydrologic Balance - Rule 4.05 <br /> A. Water Quality Standards and Effluent Limitations <br /> 1. There is one sediment pond and one dugout pond at the Terror Creek Loadout <br /> that treat drainage from the disturbed area. These ponds function as designed <br /> to ensure that applicable water quality standards and effluent standards are <br /> met. <br /> 2. The Division has approved small area exemptions from the use of sediment <br /> ponds, due to the limited size of the areas, the fact that ponds and treatment <br /> facilities are not necessary for the drainage to meet the effluent limitations of <br /> Rule 4.05.2 and applicable State and Federal water quality standards for <br /> receiving streams, and due to the fact that no mixing of surface drainage with <br /> a discharge from underground workings will occur, as the operation is a <br /> loadout and no mining will occur. The small areas to be exempted include the <br /> outslope of the facilities pad, the over-the-track loadout facility, and the <br /> railroad spur track(4.05.2(3)(b)(i)). <br /> B. Diversions and Conveyance of Overland Flow <br /> 1. Sediment control ditches have been designed and constructed in compliance <br /> with Rule 4.05.3. Locations are shown on Map 14 and designs can be found <br /> in Exhibit 9 of the PAP (4.05.3(2)). <br /> C. Stream Channel Diversions <br /> 1. No stream channel diversions are proposed or approved. <br /> D. Sedimentation Ponds <br /> 1. One sediment pond and one dugout pond have been constructed. The ponds <br /> have been designed, constructed and maintained in accordance with the <br /> requirements of Rules 4.05.6 and 4.05.9. The locations of the ponds are <br /> shown on Map 14 of the PAP. The ponds are located as near as practical to <br /> the disturbed area and are not located within perennial streams, in accordance <br /> with (4.05.6(1)(b)). <br /> E. Acid-forming and Toxic-forming Spoil <br /> 1. No major subsurface disturbances are planned during the facility construction; <br /> therefore, no overburden will be removed or stored as a result of the loadout <br /> - 13 - <br />
