' ~' <br />' Location of backhoe pits - Map 114, Energy Mine No. 3 <br /> <br />. Ground Water Hydrology <br /> Logs and other data collected from backhoe pits - <br /> Exhibit 1, Drill Hole L ogs, last 11 pages <br /> <br /> Rule 2:06.08(4) Application "Contents foi Opefations Affective Alluvial <br />' Valley Floors <br />' It is the Division's preliminary opinion, based on information received to date, <br />that Alluvial Valley Floors do exist in the drainages of Fish, Foidel and Middle <br />' Creeks. Therefore, the following additional information is needed to assess the <br />possible damage to the hydrologic functions of the AVF's: <br />' Additional aquifer data should be collected for the alluvium of Fish and Middle <br />Creeks. This data include: infiltration properties, permeability, porosity, <br />and iransmissivity. <br />Response: As shown in Exhibit 1, Drill Hole Logs, the lithology and hydro- <br />logic characteristics of the alluvium is almost identical between the Fish, <br />' Foidel and Middle Creek floodplains. The U.S. Geological Survey pump test on <br />we 11 008-FM-6 in the Foidel Creek alluvium, described in Exhibit 19, Aquifer <br />Test Data, is representative of the Middle and Fish Creek alluviums. <br /> <br />' A map should be submitted showing farms within the potential AVF's that could be <br />' affected by mining. Statements of the type and quantity of agricultural activ- <br />ity performed on the potential AVF and its relationship to the farms total <br />' agricultural activity including an economic analysis. <br />Response: Pages 2.06-33 and 2.06-34 have been revised to <br />provide statements of the type and quantity of agricultural activity on allu- <br />vial valley floors (see pages 2.06-33a and 2.06-34a). <br />~. <br />-3- <br />~ _... <br />
