2.06.1 Scope
This Section establishes minimum requirements for permits for the
special categories of surface coal operation and operations which are in
addition to the applicable permit application requirements and
procedures of Rule 2. With the exception of 2.06.8, none of the special
categories of surface coal operation and operations are applicable to the
Mt. Harris proposed operations.
2.06.8 Surface Coal Operation and Reclamation on Areas or Adjacent to
Areas Usino Alluvial Vallev Floors
Mt. Harris has conducted reconnaissance of the site specific geclogy and
land forms which are present within the permit and adjacent area of the
proposed facilities. Results of this detailed mapping is shown on the
• Regional Geology/Hydrology Map (Map 2) The permit area and adjacent
area consists of colluvial and alluvial material. A site visit by the
Soil Conservation Service determined that an alluvial valley floor may
be present in the permit area. However, the entire permit area has
previously been disturbed by the Victor American Coal Company
operations, the DRGWR Railroad, and previous operations of the Mt.
Harris Coal Company.
The area once occupied by the town of Mt. Harris is designated on the
Vegetation Map (Map 4). A.s shown on this map the entire proposed permit
area as well as adjacent areas were previously disturbed by the Victor
American Coal Company and the company town of Mt. Harris. From
information obtained from the book 'Mt. Harris Echoes' by Ruth Douglas
Johnson (1979), it is obvious that the area was first disturbed in the
early 1920's by the industrial uses in the Mt Harris area and adjacent
mine tipple area. Due to the fact that the permit and adjacent area has
been disturbed nearly continuously since the 1920's and the fact that
Mt. Harris does not plan any sub-surface disturbance, it is requested
that the Division determine the Mt. Harris operations will not affect
the functions of any alluvial valley floor.
