BUFFER ZONES As shown on the Map ?-9, subsidence buffer zones have been designated in the • Stevens fulch and East Roatcap drainage basins. Entry ways will be driven throuyh the buffer zones as required, CWI proposes water mitigation plans for that inflow water due to those entry ways, MONITORING CWI proposes a detailed mine inflow monitoring to be conducted annually, This report will be submitted and the theoretical calculations confirmed for actual water inflow, This mitigation plan will be revised based on the actual inflow experience. RFPAiRS No repairs are anticipated for natural seepage due to inflow. Because of the transmissivity of the coal seam itself and natural fractures, repairs are not possihle. IMPROVEMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS CWI will work with the local water users to improve water transportation systems on a case-by-case basis. An improvement in the transportation system can in- crease the useable flow. In this way, even potentially immeasurable water loses can be mitigated in advance, CWI will consult with the regulatory ayencies on • these case-by-case improvements. REPLACEMENT WATER The Stevens Gulch inflow is anticipated at 5.7 gallons per minute, C4iI proposes that, if necessary for vested water users, replacement water will be furnished from the Stevens Gulch Well Field - Orchard Valley Wells kl, 7, 3, and 4, f,WI is currently decreed for 40 acre-feet in this well field, Current usage is 11 acre-feet, leaving approximately 30 acre-feet for replacement purposes. CWI would pump 5.7 gallons per minute into Stevens Gulch if required by water us- ers. Within the East Roatcap drainage, 5.4 gallons per minute would need to he re- placed. CWI proposes West Reservoir water to be delivered during the irrigation season only. As is stated in the subsidence-induced water replacement plan, CWI has ?3.63 acre-feet for potential water replacement. The water replacement po- tential for mine inflow in East Roatcap would amount to approximately 5 acre- feet of this water right. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CWI will continually evaluate other sources of water replacement such as water storage ono vegetation manipulation. If a technologically better alternative is • available, CWI will adjust this plan for that alternative.
