I asked Terrell during my inspection on September- 28, 1992 about
the presence or absence of stream buffer markers. He stated that
the Eagle Mine didn't have stream buffer markers and that it was
his understanding that they were not needed as Eagle was an
underground mine.
I have researched this matter and have uncovered the following:
(See attached sheets for copies of applicable regulations and
permit pages.)
The Regulations:
Rule 4.02.5 Buffer zones shall be clearly
marked, as defined by 4.05.18.
Rule 4.05.18 No stream buffer zone shall be
disturbed by "surface coal mining
operations" [quotations mine].
Rule 1.04(132) Surface coal mining operations
defined as " ..surface operations
and surface impacts incident to an
underground coal mine."
The Permit•
4.02.5 Stream buffer zones as established under
4.05.18 will be clearly marked.
4.05.18 References Rule 4.05.18(3) and states tYLat the
only disturbance within 100 feet of a
perennial stream will occur around the
conveyor belt and the coal stockpile.
