<br /> <br />J. J. Dudash - 12 - January 17, 2001 <br />revision does not fully address the requirements of this stipulation. <br />Bowie will need to provide the information as required by the <br />stipulation. The GMUG and the BLM provided Bowie with water <br />replacements needs by water source on their respective lands. <br />BRL - A draft Water Replacement Plan was submitted to the BLM <br />and USFS around the first of January 2001. The water replacement <br />plan is based upon the Recipe fora Water Replacement Plan <br />Associated with Coal Mining Activities developed by the BLM during <br />September, 2000 and the requirements of the BLM and USFS which <br />were developed during their inventory of the resource values of the <br />water sources. <br />Page 2.05-12, section 2.05.6(6)(a)(ii)(B). We recommend that Maps <br />10 and 11 be updated to reflect new data available from the <br />summer 2000 drilling. <br />BRL -Maps 10 and 11 were revised based upon the data generated <br />from the summer 2000 drilling. The USFS should have a copy of <br />these revised maps. <br />Page 2.05-103, section 2.05-6(6)(b)(i)(C). Stipulation 15(f)(B) of the <br />federal lease (stipulation 14 of the ROD) requires that a induced <br />seismicity study be performed on the Terror Reservoir dam prior to <br />mining occurring within f mile of the reservoir. ft also calls for a <br />Monitoring system to be placed on the dam to monitor seismicity. <br />Bowie needs to acknowledge this requirement. <br />BRL -BRL has made the following commitment on page 2.05-109: <br />"A detailed subsidence study for Terror Creek Reservoir and dam <br />will be completed prior to any mining within one mile of the <br />reservoir. The study will establish baseline conditions, potential <br />mining-induced seismicity and potential translated effects." The <br />current mine plan projects mining within one mile of Terror Creek <br />Reservoir during the first quarter of 2003. <br />k. Page 2.05-104. The permit revision references that Hubbard Creek <br />could be damaged by subsidence cracks. On NFSL, Hubbard Creek <br />is to be protected as described in items 1 and 2. <br />BRL -The statement that Hubbard Creek could be damaged by <br />subsidence cracks is a worst possible consequences description <br />which precipitates a subsidence control plan. The subsidence <br />control plan, in this case limited extraction, will protect Hubbard <br />Creek from the effects of subsidence. <br />
