1. Water Rights and Replacement -Rule 4.05. l5 <br />The applicant has demonstrated that no owner of a vested water right is proximately injured. <br />J. Dischazge of Water into an Underground Mine -Rule 4.05-16 <br />No surface water will be dischazged into underground mine workings. <br />K. Stream Buffer Zones -Rule 4.05.18 <br />The Division approved surface or underground mining activities within 100 feet or through a <br />perennial stream or stream with a biological conununity. This decision was based on a finding <br />that the original stream channel will be restored, water quality and quantity shall not be adversely <br />affected, and appropriate riparian vegetation will be reestablished. The buffer zone variance is <br />granted for portions of Goodspring Creek near the sediment ponds which discharge into that <br />creek, and that portion of Taylor Creek neaz the loadout [4.05.18(1)]. <br />L. Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />A discussion of the probable hydrologic consequences of mining and reclamation operations is <br />contained in pages 2.04.7-85 through 1 O1 of the Permit. The original findings document (1982), <br />an Amended Findings Document for Permit Renewal (1987), and Technical Revision No. 14 <br />(1989) also include discussions of probable hydrologic consequences. Section 2.04.7 of the <br />Permit and Section VI of the 1982 Findings Document contain extensive discussion of the <br />hydrologic balance of the permit area. <br />1.
