• §2.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING <br />ACTIVITIES -MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND <br />RECLAMATION PLANS. <br />2.05.6 Mitigation of Surface Coal Mining Operation Impacts. (cont'd.) <br />(6) (iv) (A) (Cont'd.) <br />presently not considered aquifers or renewable resource lands. <br />Additional groundwater investigation of Renewable Resource Lands and the other potential <br />colluvial/alluvial deposits were performed during the summer 1985. Shallow monitoring wells <br />were installed employing auger drill methods, 2- to 4-inch PVC casing, and lithologic sampling. <br />See Map No. 4-1 for locations of shallow monitoring wells. Although similar in geomorphic <br />characteristics, the presence and nature of groundwater was ascertained in these smaller deposits. <br />During monitoring well installation, the degree of development of aquifer characteristics was <br />determined. Specific areas investigated were iithology, degree of sorting, nature of fluvial <br />influence, field permeability testing, and water quality. <br />No mining is scheduled during this permit term therefore areas of potential colluvial/alluvial <br />deposits will not be undermined. To date, no impacts to renewable resource lands have been <br />noted as a result of mining beneath such lands. <br />Forty-one (41) buildings or structures have been identified within the C-81-038 permit area as <br />depicted on Map 9-7. The structures are ranch-recreation use oriented except for the Muckle <br />House, a restaurant now closed, which has operated intermittently over the last several years) and <br />the applicants well field and <br />„: <br />• <br />- 138 - 2/98 <br />'TR-2$/RN-O~ <br />/ a//4~ Y 9 <br />
