(xiii) This item was the same item described herein as Item No. I.n.(v). This item was discussed in general terms in correspondence to the Division from Raton Wesf dated February 22, 1994, and in more specific terms in correspondence to the Division from Raton West dated April 5, 1994. _• - - o. In a-letter dated May_5, 199,theDixision_itrfortued_Raton West-drat-the-Division-had, as- - -- part of the review of Raton West's comments, developed three additional stipulations to the Division's January 1994 proposed decision. These were to have been presented to the Board at the April 1994 meeting, for the Board's consideration of the Division's request that they be made part of the permit. In submittals from Basin received by the Division subsequent to May 5, 1994 and prior to the May Board Meeting, Basin incorporated the language from these previously proposed stipulations into its permit document. These proposed stipulations were: (i) Basin shall update the Surface Ownership Map for those areas in which undermining is anticipated during the permit term. Submittal to the Division of the updated map shall occur on or before July 31, October 31, January 31, and April 30, yearly; (ii) Basin will maintain on file at the mine site proof of mailing of the public notices required pursuant to Rule 4.20.2; (iii) If the extracted material thickness from the longwall mining operation exceeds nine vertical feet, Basin will provide as part of its semi-annual subsidence monitoring report, information indicating any significant resultant differences in the surface area predicted to be subject to subsidence. The Structures Inventory Map (Map No. 16) will be updated as necessary to reflect any such changes. p. The Division, in further consideration of Raton West's concerns and in cooperation with Basin Resources, developed a new stipulation that should be added to the Division's January 1994 proposed decision to renew the Golden Eagle Mine permit. This new Stipulation No. 72 reads: (i) Basin Resources will conduct on a quarterly basis an on-the-ground survey for the existence of structures in (I) the areas anticipated to be undermined in the ensuing three months, (2) the areas anticipated to be affected by the resultant subsidence, and (3) the 500 foot buffer zone beyond the areas anticipated to be affected by the subsidence. q. The Division, also in further consideration of Raton West's concerns, developed a modifica- tion in the language of the Division's January 1994 proposed decision document. The Division requested the Board consider revising the sentence in Stipulation 67 that reads: The Division's review of the probable hydrologic consequences of the proposed mining operation has determined that impacts to the overall hydrologic regime...
