52.05 APPLiCAT%ON FOR PERMIT FOR SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING ACTTVLTiES -- <br />. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND RECLAMATION PLANS. <br />2,05.6 Mitigation of Surface Coal Mining Operation Impacts. (Cont'd.) <br />(2) (a) (iii) (C) (Cont'd.) <br />is 600 ft. or less, buffer zones will <br />be kept under Steven's Gulch and Roat- <br />cap Creeks. Where the overburden <br />thickness is 600 to 80O fC., in these <br />areas development without pillar ex- <br />traction will be utilized. This will <br />ensure protection fur riparian habitat <br />and any water depletion. <br />Riparian habitat would be destroyed in <br />the East RoaCCap Creek drainage where <br />the Orchard Valley West Mine site would <br />bu constructed. The methods and sites <br />Co mitigate Ch is loss of habitat would <br />be determined in consultation with the <br />Bureau of Land Management and Colorado <br />Division of Wildlife. <br />C~ <br />J <br />No other areas of unusally high value <br />habitat exist, other than the golden <br />eagle mentioned in the previous sec- <br />tion. <br />(b) See Maps 2-9, 8-1, 8-3, 8A-8, and 9A-2A through D.

Surface water on <br />lands adjacent Co Che disturbed mine site is <br />protected in two basic ways. First, all water <br />up-drainage of the disturbed areas is routed <br />around the ooerations by means of a diversion <br />ditch and an auxiliary diversion ditch (see <br /> <br />Revised 08/OI/84 <br />Revised 12/26/84 <br />Revised 10/12/86 <br />Revised 10/01/87 <br />94 <br />
