<br />There are five bedrock wells and three piezometers which will be used to evaluate water • <br />bearing zones and monitor the effects of dewatering and subsidence. One well in the coal <br />seam (NM-21) will evaluate the Maxwell seam. Three piezometers into the mine <br />workings (GEM-1, GEM-2, and GEM-3) will provide direct information on the flooding <br />of [he workings and its recharge. Four wells in the overburden (LA-264, SF-2, Nh9-22 <br />and NM-20) will evaluate water bearing zones above the coal which could conceivably <br />be utilized for beneficial use and which might be impacted by mining. <br />A surface water control plan has been prepared and is shown on Iv1ap 11, Sediment and <br />Surface Water Control flan. This plan has been developed and was used to direct all <br />surface waters from within the disturbed area through sediment control structures where <br />the water quality was monitored and controlled prior to di:~charge. Basin Resources <br />monitored the water quality as covered under the NPDES permits as long as the ponds <br />were required. Detailed studies of the water qualit}• as:;ociated with the surface <br />disturbances are reviewed in Rule 2.04, Surface and Ground Water Resources. <br />Disturbed area boundaries zones have been clearly marked and will be maintained in <br />accordance with Sections 4.02 and 4.06 of the CDMG Regulations for Coal Mining. <br />Closure and final reclamation of the mine terminated extension of mine disturbance, and <br />the approved limits of disturbance were reduced to areas of actual disturbance. The need <br />for stream buffer zone signage was eliminated as no disturbance encroached to/or within <br />100 feet of any perennial stream. <br />Underground Development Disposal. Underground development waste has been • <br />classified as coal processing waste. See Exhibit 17 for details regarding coal processing <br />waste. <br />Protection of Public Parks and Historic Places Research of the National Register of <br />Historic Places indicates that there are no historic places near the Golden Eagle Mine <br />which will be affected by the mine's operation. There are no publicl}• owned parks in the <br />area which will be affected by the Golden Eagle Mine operation. <br />Surface Mining Near Underground Minim No surface mining is currently taking place <br />in the <br />2.05-47-f (TR-52 Revisiand2/01) <br />C~ <br />
