' Water quality of potential aquifers overlaying the Brookside <br /> coal seam will not be impacted ae they are separated from the <br /> underground mine by impervious s hale beds. <br />Overall, the proposed mine area ie only a minor portion of <br />the laterally extensive aquifers and its potential impact would <br />be much lees felt than that of the widespread mine workings of <br />the past. Past mining accounts for nearly 25X of the area in 8 <br />sections in the vicinity of Twin Pines Mo. 2 Mine. By <br />comparison, the proposed mine is only 2X of the area over which <br />the aquifers may extend and constitutes about 9X of the existing <br />disturbance. <br />• <br />n <br />U <br /> <br />JFSA-69 <br />
