• of the native species found in the stream buffer disturbance areas along Dry Creek, as <br />well as ocher desirable species, will be used for revegetation. <br />Water Rights <br />The surface and ground water rights adjacent to the Seneca 11-W mining area are listed in <br />Table 16-1 and shown on Exhibit 16-1 of Tab 16. The water rights inventory boundary <br />includes all water rights within a three mile radius of the Seneca II•W Mine. Attachment <br />16-A of Tab 16 (Protection of the Hydrologic Balance) provides further description of the <br />ground and surface water rights and plan for augmentation. <br />Alternative Water Suoolies <br />Attachment 16-A of Teb 16 (Water Rights Investigation and Plan for Augmentation) lists the <br />eater ri ghis and sources Peabody has available to utilize as alternate water supplies via <br />legal agreements to mitigate pit inflow drawdown and sediment pond storage, industrial <br />water use, and mining disturbance impacts to surface Water right holders. The principal <br />alternative eater supplies are the Temple Reservoir No. 7/Emrich Reservoir (36.7 acre <br />feet), and Stagecoach Reservoir (50 acre feet), 006 pond, 005 pond, and Production Well <br />No. 1. No mitigation of any ground water impacts other than Temple Well No. 7 are <br />anticipated. All of the above water sources are considered as alternative water supplies <br />that can be used as part of Peabody's augmentation plan for mitigating potential surface <br />eater rights impacts or for mitigating separate water rights agreements (Appendix 16.1) <br />Peabody has entered into. <br />Protection and Mitigation Plan <br />The Probable Hydrologic Consequences analysis (Tab 17) did not conclude that there will be <br />any adverse hydrologic consequences from the Seneca II-W mining. Any preexisting ponds <br />and wells that will be removed by mining have been mitigated via legal agreements <br />(Appendix 16-1). A detailed augmentation and Water rights plan is presented in Attachment <br />16-1 gf Tab 76 and any potential impacts associated with pit pumpage and industrial eater <br />use at the mine will be fully mitigated by this plan. <br />• In addition to the mining practices designed to minimize disturbances to the hydrologic <br />balance previously discussed, tompr eh ensive ground end surface eater monitoring plans have <br />5 Revised 72/28/93 <br />
