53 <br /> i MS. UITERBACK-NORMANN: That sounds j 1 application for a technical revision to their <br /> 2 fine. 2 permit, that being Technical Revision 69. <br /> 3 MR. STARK: We'll get there. 3 Snowcap's TR-69 is narrowly focused. <br /> 4 MS. UETERBACK-NOFMANN: Sure. 4 The focus of TR-69 is on their hydrologic <br /> 5 MR. STARK: I hate to use that 5 communication repair plan. That's what's at issue <br /> 6 answer. It's kind of like "because I'm your dad, 6 with TR-69. The repair plan will stop the <br /> 7 and I told you so" type of thing. 7 hydrologic communication that was observed on June <br /> 8 MR. SCHUTLZ: Patience. 8 11, 2014. <br /> 9 MR. STARK: Sorry. 9 So Snowcap's hydrologic camuumication <br /> to MR. SCHULTZ: I propose calling the 10 repair plan was based on electrical resistivity <br /> 11 Division's exhibits something other than 1, 2, or 3 11 tomography, or ERT. It was a study that -- that was <br /> 12 because we have two parties in this case. It would 12 conducted by one of Snowcap's consultants, Fugro <br /> 13 make sense for the applicant to have a letter and 13 Consultants, or Fugro, in April of 2016. Fugro's <br /> 14 the objector to have a number and then the Division 14 ERT study also was reviewed by Huddleston-Berry <br /> 15 to have something else. Isn't there already Exhibit 15 Engineering & Testing, LLC, or HBET. <br /> 16 1? 16 HBET agreed the Fugro ERT study <br /> 17 MR. JUSTUS: May I comment? 17 showed that an historic vent shaft is causing the <br /> 18 MR. SINGLETARY: Go ahead. 18 hydrologic communication with the mine workings; so <br /> 19 MR. JUSTUS: Snowcap's exhibits are 19 the communication between the surface water in the <br /> 20 already lettered with a prefix of Exhibit A, hyphen, 20 Fontanari Ditch and the workings. <br /> 21 and the number. So I can refer to Snowcap exhibits 21 A second ERT study was conducted by <br /> 22 through our presentation as Exhibit A, hyphen, and 22 Fugro in August of 2016 and verified a horizontal <br /> 23 the appropriate number. 23 anomaly just north of the air shaft. The total <br /> 24 MR. SCHUTLZ: Perfect. Thank you. 24 proposed surface disturbance in the Snowcap <br /> 25 MR. STARK: Next, I believe the 25 hydrologic communication repair plan is estimated at <br /> 53 55 <br /> 1 Fontanari exhibits are just numbers; is that 1 about 0.4 acres. <br /> 2 correct? 2 Snowcap will also provide an <br /> 3 MR. BECKWITH: Uh-huh. Yup. 3 additional surety bond for the disturbance of 0.4 <br /> 4 MR. STARK: They are numbered 1 4 acres; so to reclaim the surface disturbance that's <br /> 5 through A-15 or something like that. 5 associated with -- with the disturbance that they're <br /> 6 MR. BECKWITH: No. John has 6 going to create, and that's roughly $35,000 that <br /> 7 already -- if I may. Snowcap has identified 50-sane 7 they will post in additional bond monies to cover <br /> 8 exhibits, and if they already have a numbering 8 that reclamation. <br /> 9 system, it's easier to stay with that numbering 9 So the proposal -- let me back up a <br /> to system. That's more logical. The exhibits that I to second. This (indicated) is a picture of the ditch <br /> 11 may or may not submit, I'll just keep in sequential ill that was dug by Mr. Fontanari. Water was running in <br /> 12 order. It's a lot easier too. 12 this ditch, and it was entering this hole right here <br /> 13 MR. SCHUTLZ: I guess my only concern 13 (indicated), and then it was traveling subsurface <br /> 14 is having two Exhibit Vs. 14 into the vent shaft, and we'll get into that in a <br /> 15 MR. BECKWITH: I'll change my 15 little more detail in a little bit. <br /> 16 numbers. 16 The proposal in TR-69 is to excavate <br /> 17 MR. SCHULTZ: Okay. 17 from this hole (indicated) to the vent shaft -- to <br /> 18 MR. RANDALL: The State's could be A, 18 the historic vent shaft that's located -- I don't <br /> 19 B, C, D. 19 know -- around 50, 60 feet away. The plan, then, is <br /> 20 MR. SCHUTLZ: Could do that. 20 to excavate the historic vent shaft to a depth of 16 <br /> 21 MR. STARK: So instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 21 feet. <br /> 22 we'll have them A, B, C, and D in that order? 22 At that 16-foot depth, they will <br /> 23 PRESENTATION 23 place a 12-inch-thick concrete pad over the vent <br /> 24 MR. STARK: So the issue before the 24 shaft. So they'll basically pour in place a <br /> 25 Board today is to make a final decision on Snowcap's 25 concrete pad to block off that vent shaft.
