I-1 <br />I. STUDY AREAS <br />The permit and the surface water adjacent area are shown on <br />Figure I-3. The permit area is labeled as "Bourg Mine Site." <br />The topographic valleys which receive surface runoff from the <br />permit area correspond with the "approximate limit of <br />unconsolidated stream-laid deposits" area marked on Figure <br />I-3. The ground water adjacent area used in this study is <br />somewhat less than the general criteria suggested in the June <br />11, 1980 Alluvial Valley Floor Guidelines of OSM. Based on <br />analysis of the regional geology, Walden Coal Company <br />believes that the only areas meeting the geomorphic character- <br />istics which might be affected by mining in the Coalmont <br />Formation at this site are the unconsolidated stream-laid <br />deposits of Mann Draw. This view is supported in the Geology <br />and Water Information chapters of this permit, Sections C and <br />I. <br />• <br />~[~ Leonard IGce Consulting Water Ergineeus. Inc. <br />
