110 <br />a c t i v i t i e s on groundwater. The monitoring results for the wells will be <br />included in the Annual Hydrology Report. <br />The Annual Hydrology Report will be submitted on or before February 28 of <br />each year in compliance with Rule 4.05.13(4) (c). This report will compile <br />data collected during the previous calendar year. The analysis will include <br />comparisons in either a tabular or graphic form with data collected previously <br />and with predictions contained in the Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />section. <br />A surface water control plan has been prepared and is shown on Map 13 - <br />Sediment and Surface Water Control Plan -East Portal and Map 14 - <br />Sediment and Surface Water Control Plan -West Portal. This plan has <br />been developed and is currently in use to direct all surface waters from within <br />the disturbed area through sediment control structures where the water quality <br />can be monitored and controlled prior to discharge. The Operator currently <br />monitors and plans to continue to monitor the water quality as covered under the <br />NPDES permits during the life of the operation, Exhibit 22, NPDES Permit. <br />Detailed studies of the impacts and control of surface waters and their <br />relationship to the underground hydrologic system at the New Elk Mine are <br />being conducted through the monthly monitoring program. Map 8 -Regional <br />Hydrology, shows the extensive monitoring program that the Operator is <br />conducting to ensure protection of the hydrologic balance at the New Elk Mine. <br />A spill prevention control plan has been prepared by the Operator and is on <br />file at the New Elk Mine. Generally, this plan calls for containing any <br />potential oil spills and preventing the material from reaching or coming in <br />contact with existing surface water. Details of the Spill Prevention Control and <br />Countermeasure Plan are presented in Exhibit 27, Spill Prevention Control <br />and Countermeasure Plan. <br />Disturbed area boundaries and stream buffer zones have been clearly marked <br />and will be maintained in accordance with Section 4.02 and 4.06 of the <br />CMLRD Regulation for Coal Mining. Stream buffer zone signs have been <br />placed in high traffic area on site and will be placed along the entire length of <br />the Purgatoire River within the permit boundary by December 30, 1986. <br />Protection of Public Parks and Historic Places <br />Research of the National Register of Historic Places indicates that there are <br />no historic places near the New Elk Mine which will be affected by the mine's <br />operation. There are also no publicly owned parks in the area that will be <br />affected by the New Elk Mine. The mining area underlies the Bosque del Oso <br />State Wildlife area which was transferred to the state by previous mine owners. <br />New Elk Coal Company has the right to mine in this area as governed by a <br />lease agreement. <br />Section 2.05 RN -6 Repaginated 10/21/16 <br />
