<br />REVIEW QUESTION <br />2.05.6 <br />(3)(b) 3. The applicant should provide a narrative on how it is intended <br />to reestablish seepage area SP-4. <br />RESPONSE <br />Spring SP-4 is a natural discharge point for the upper coal <br />aquifer where the aquifer intersects Hayden Gulch. The spring <br />will temporarily be dried up due to the mining process and pit <br />dewatering. As the mining and backfilling processes advance <br />through final reclamation, the spring will began to flow once <br />the backfill resaturates to an elevation above the spring dis- <br />charge point. The time it will take for the spring to began <br />flowing again has been calculated and is presented in the final <br />groundwater report (contained in Appendum A of Appendix R in <br />' Yolume VII). <br /> <br />
