PART 822 - SPECIAL PERMANENT PROGRAM PERFORMANCE STANDARDS-OPERATIONS <br />IN ALLUVIAL VALLEY FLOORS <br />Scone of the Section. <br />Part 822 establishes the performance standards for surface coal <br />mines in or adjacent to alluvial valley floors. The identification <br />of alluvial valley floors and their essential hydrologic functions <br />is covered in 30 CFR 785.19. Those surface coal mine operations <br />which are determined by the criteria of 30 CFR 785.19 to affect <br />alluvial valley floors must comply with the performance standards <br />of this Part. Operations which are found by a field investigation <br />not to affect alluvial valley floors are exempt from the require- <br />ments of this Part. <br />The field investigation described in Section 765.19 (c) resulted in <br />no identification of alluvial valley floors in the general area <br />which could be affected by mining operations. Therefore, no <br />• special performance standards for operations in alluvial valley <br />t <br />- floors are applicable to this mining permit application, and no <br />protective or remedial measures are proposed for compliance with <br />this Part. <br /> <br />822-1 <br />
