• s <br />1. J. Dudash - 2 - Mav l2, 1999 <br />2.04.9 Soils Resource Information <br />A supplemental soils report was prepared for the area to be disturbed by the truck loadout <br />and the relocation of pond B. Two soil depth measurements were taken at each azea. The <br />soils are similar to those reported as the Meadow silty clay loam series in the original soils <br />study, a typic Haplorgid. <br />2.04.10 Vegetation Information <br />The area to be disturbed by the relocation of pond B was not included in the original <br />vegetation inventory prepared during 1995. Matthew Hayes inspected the site twice in <br />1998. He is convinced the vegetation is very similar to the Lower Meadow Community. <br />Volume III -Exhibit 8 -Site Ditches Culverts and Ponds <br />A thorough evaluation of the site drainage design was performed to assure existing and <br />new ditches and culverts would be able to handle the design flow resulting from the <br />additional disturbance. Additionally, run-off from the office location and office parking lot <br />was reviewed. The project did require the design of an number of new ditches and <br />culverts at the coal stockpile and truck loadout area and a few new ditches immediately <br />below the portal level. <br />The capacity of Pond C was confirmed. The volume of can-off from the l0-year event <br />from the pond C drainage only increased 0.02 acre-feet. This includes run-off from the <br />recently approved expansion of the material storage azea located on the southeast edge of <br />the portal bench. Pond B will be relocated south of old State highway 133. Its design <br />capacity will more than handle the run-off from the ] 0 year event. <br />Maps <br />Two new maps are added to the permit by this technical revision. The two are Maps 15-? <br />and 21-3. This was required because there was insufficient coverage of the permit <br />boundary and disturbed area along old State Highway 133. Maps 15-1, 15-2 and 15-3 <br />show the permit boundary and disturbed area and mine facilities along old State Highway <br />133 from west to east respectively. Likewise, Maps 21-1, 21-2 and 21-3 show the permit <br />boundary and drainage structures from west to east respectively. <br />Air Pernuts <br />The Air Qualtiy Control Commission has issued draft permits for the Bowie No. 2 Mine. <br />The draft permits allow production at the mine to increase to 5 million tons per year and <br />also allow for the 350,000 ton coal stockpile which will be located along old State <br />Highway 133. <br />
