52.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SIIRFACE OR DNDERGROUND MINING ACTIVITIES -- <br />MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND RECLAMATION PLANS. <br />2.05.6 Mitigation of Surface Coal Mining Operation Impacts. (Cont'd.) <br />(6) (a) (i) See Section (6)(a)(ii). <br />(ii) No answer required. <br />(A) Through the services of an independent <br />consultant, Geo-Hydro Consulting, Inc., <br />CWI has prepared a study which address- <br />es the predicted nature and character- <br />istics of subsidence induced phenomena <br />within the permit area (refer to Subsi- <br />dence Appendix, Volume 3). The study <br />contains an inventory of natural re- <br />sources and anthropogenic structures. <br />The study also addresses the impacts of <br />underground mining and attendant sur- <br />face subsidence upon the structures and <br />resources identified. <br />Within the permit area there are three <br />deposits of colluvial/alluvial materi- <br />al, which because of size, hydrological <br />• conditions, and development are consid- <br />ered Renewable Resource Lands under Di- <br />vision Rule 1.04(110). These areas are <br />located as follows: Steven's Gulch, <br />portions of Sections 12 and 13, T.13S., <br />R.92W.; East Foatcap Creek, portions of <br />Sections 14 and 1~, T.13S., R.92W.; and <br />Morrell Cow Camp, portions of Section <br />1, T.13S., R.91W. Hydrogeologic char- <br />acteristics of the mosC significant <br />area, Steven's Gulch, follows. <br />Results of drilling and testing in five <br />wells indicated that these deposits are <br />composed of a mixture of gravel and <br />clayey sand with a thickness of up to <br />97 ft. and a low permeability. The <br />range of transmissivity resulting from <br />tests in well Nos. SG-a, SG-b, and SG-1 <br />is 140 - 235 square ft/day. Storage <br />coefficient ranged from 3 X 10-4 <br />and 4 X 1-3. The water table in <br />the aquifer has a great range of <br />• Added 12/26/84 <br />Revised 12/26/84 <br />Revised 10/01/87 <br />136 <br />
