•Two <br />Section 2.09.6 Geology Description ~, <br />1. Surface Mining <br />1. A detailed site specific geology map is required. The map <br />should include but not be limited to; any faulting and <br />folding in the area, all aquifers in the area pursuant to <br />2.04.7, any Quaternary Alluvium deposits in the area and all <br />major rock formations in the area. 2.04.6(1)(a) <br />2. In order for the Division to make a determination regarding <br />the ability of the operator to achieve the proposed post-mining <br />topography more detailed information is needed. The cross-sections <br />described in the previously submitted overburden calculations <br />would be adequate. They should be submitted in a form that <br />would allow them to be incorporated easily into the present <br />permit application. 2.09.6(1)(a)(i) <br />' 3. The detailed drill hole 1.og for CRC11.80 is needed. 2.09.6(1)(b)(i)(B) <br />4. The methods used to compute swell factors are needed, supported <br />by the appropriate data. This is needed to assist in the de- <br />termination of the ability to achieve the proposed post-mining <br />topography. 2.09.6(1) (6) (i) (C) <br />5. Although the assessment of the overburden and innerburden was <br />well presented, the analyses may be inadequate due to the <br />limited categories analyzed. Attached as Appendix A is a list <br />of the overburden parameters requested by the Division to make <br />written findings related to".hydrologic consequences and poten- <br />tial for reclamation. Should the applicant feel that adequate <br />information has been obtained from on-site data collection or <br />another substantiated source to indicate that a paramater or <br />parameters do not warrant testing, then a thorough analytical <br />discussion related directly to the specific characteristics of <br />the mine should be included in the application: 2.04.6(1)(b)(i)(D) <br />6. The coal needs to be analyzed for pyrite content, marcasite <br />content, ~ of organic sulfur present and amount of sulfate <br />sulfur. This information is needed for the Division to make <br />written findings related to hydrologic consequences and recla- <br />mation of the operation. 2. 09.6(1)(b)(i)(E) <br />Section 2.04.7 Hydrology Description <br />1. Ground Water Information <br />Clarification of the term, "Recharge test" is needed. Also, <br />values.for transmimissivity and storativity of the aquifers <br />accompanied with the methods used to analyze these variables. <br />2, 04.7(1)(b) <br />Section 2.09.9 Soils Resource Information <br />1. The depths at which soild were segergated (topsoil, subsoil) fnr <br />the analysis of its suitability as a plant growth medium needs <br />to be explained. This is needed to determine the adequacy of the top- <br />soil salvage plan to achieve the proposed post-mining land use. <br />2.04.9(1) (c) (b) <br />
