The applicants treau;ient of mine inflows ~.viChin the permit applicatio;; deals with an estimate of mine infl„vs made in a 190 study. This study clealUr only •wiLn the IJo. 5 mine, and dealt wiCh the Plo. 9 mime ;.hrouyh extrapolation. Given the length of time between this sturJy and the present; given the amount of mining :which has taken place since 193u; and given the requirements in kule 2.U5.7(3)(a), and 4.U5.13(1)(a) to monitor the hydrologic impacts of ~nininy during operation; the applicant shall verify the results of the study with a new mine inflow study ~•;hich includes uoth the P;o. 5 and Igo. 9 niir~es. This inflow study shall include the ~uappiny of all mine inflows presently encountereu in both ~uines on a recent mine workinys maps. Httachn~ent Q contains an example of an inflow study conducted uy another underground mine in the state. The inflow study shall include a table keyed to the map whicn includes the following: (a). 11ow rates (OSllinates ul luw inflow l'aic'., .uul ~nca,urc•m;iil.•, ul flows in excess of one gallon per minuC~); (d). Sources of each inflow (i.e. fauTi., fracture, roof bolt, seal from an abandoned-pillared area, abandoned bore hole, weeping wall face, or reof, etc). (c). Geologic source of each iufloo-,. , (d). Total area contributing to each inflow (e.g. abandoned-pillared area of mine 20 acres; coal face 6 ft. high and 250r`t. long; paint source bore hole, etc.); and (a). Field water quality incluuing pH, electro-conductivity acd temperature. Tne applicant shall recalculate the projected inflows for all minim in tnis 5-year permit period in both mines. Tlie projections shall b2 made ~~ith data gathered in the new inflow study outlined above. This will require amine plan delineating areas of complete extraction (projected subsidence areas), partial extraction (entries and subsidence protection zones), and projected faults and fractures. The applicant shall also calculate the quantity of water required to fill the mine workinys to pre-existing water levels and the time required to fill the ~•.or!:ir,gs for the combined 5-year and pre-existing workinys, and also 'for the total life-of-mine workings. The annual Hydrologic report shall include a yearly submittal of an inflow study as outlined .:hove. The amwal mine influw sturJy shall also include a. record of daily discharges from each of the mines.
