-z- General - Affectted area -Rule 1.07(7 The applicant's :projection of only 54 acres of affected land seems low, given the extent of underground mine workings and the surface disturbance area. The applicant should include a map of all affected areas and all lands overlying the underground mine which may be impacted. The impacted (affected) lands overlying the mine workings includes all lands within the subsidence angle-of-draw. Legal, Financial and Compliance Information - Rule 2.03 1. On page 9, the application states that additional surface facilities "will consist of amine waste disposal area." The narrative should be modified to clarify that, additionally, the office will be relocated, a portion of the access road will be abandoned and anew section constructed, and the coal stockpile area will be expanded. 2. The application does not list issuing authorities, permit numbers or application I.D. numbers for required permits, as required by Rule 2.03.10(3). This information should be submitted. Land Use Information - Rule 2.04.3 1. The application does not contain an estimate of the pre-mine forage production capability which could be "obtained under high levels of management." An SCS range site description would provide the required information. Geoloav and Hvdroloav General - Rule 2.04.5 1. There is no geology map of the adjacent and general areas. There is only a map of the permit area. The geologic map of the adjacent and general areas must, at a minimum, cover an area with a two mile radius around the mine and be on a map with a scale no smaller than 1:24,000 (Rule 2.10.1(1)). 2. There is no regional hydrology map of the adjacent and general areas. All water wells, irrigation structures, ponds, lakes, reservoirs, and springs should be located and/or drawn on a map with a scale no smaller than 1:24,000 and covering an area no smaller than a two mile radius of the permit boundary. Surface Water Hydrology - Rule 2.04.7(2) There is inadequate surface water quality and quantity baseline information to characterize seasonal fluctuations. At ,least one year's flow data from Harvey Gap, based on Grass Valley Reservoir discharge records should be included in the application. In addition, complete surface water chemistry data should be submitted for the Harvey Gap Drainage immediately downstream of the proposed mining disturbance. At a minimum, one sample should be taken during the spring, one in mid-summer and one at the end of the irrigation season. This data should be included in the permit application.
