Mr. Thomas Wainwright -2- December 8, 1982
Rule 2.03.4(7) - Identification of Interests
Tha permit application does not contain a statement of all lands,
interests in lands, options or pending bids on interests held or
made by the applicant for lands which are contiguous to the area to
be covered by the permit. Page 3-47 of the application refers one
to Appendix 3-1 for the information on interests in contiguous
lands. However, Appendix 3-1 only identifies the legal description
for the permit area. Therefore, a statement of all interests in
contiguous lands is needed to complete the application. This
information can remain confidential upon request and fulfillment of
Rule 2.07.5.
Buie 2.04.6(1)(x) - Geolocv
The geologic cross-sections (Exhibits 6-GR-1 through 6-GR-9) are
incomplete. These cross-sections only show the coal aeam8 to be
mined. No attempt was made to correlate and draft overburden and
underburden strata on the croea-sections. The locations of
sandstone, shale and siltatone unite within the overburden and
underburden are important in assessing the movement of ground water
in these strata. Therefore, the applicant should redraft and
resubmit geologic croea-sections of the permit and adjacent areas.
The geologic croea-sections should include the location of
lithologic strata. The applicant should also include within the
geologic description the prominent trend of lenticular sandstone
unite in the overlying and underlying strata. The submittal Of the
cross-sections and geologic description are required to satisfy the
permit requirements under Rule 2.04.6(1)(a), which requires that the
geologic cross-sections of the permit area describe the nature,
depth and thickness of each stratum down to and including the
stratum below the lowest coal seam to be mined.
Rule 2.04.7(2) - Surface Water Information
The applicant has not provided sufficient information to identify,
in detail, the seasonal variations in water quality and quantity of
the springs identified in the permit and adjacent area.
To complete the application, additional flow data and water quality
data (including major ions, minor ions, end trace metals) sufficient
to show eeaeonal variations should be provided for the springs
located in the permit and adjacent area.
