E. Acid-forming and Toxic-forming Spoil <br />Based upon information provided by Bowie Resources, Ltd., the Division <br />does not anticipate that any acid-forming or toxic-forming spoil will be <br />encountered during the operation of the Bowie No. 2 Mine (4.05.8(3)). <br />Impoundments <br />The applicant has not proposed the use of alternative design criteria and <br />specifications for impoundment design and construction (4.05.9). <br />G.

The surface and ground water <br />monitoring plan is specified in Section 2.05.6(3)(b)(iv) of the Bowie No. 2 <br />Mine permit application (4.05.13(1)). BRL monitors surface water quantity <br />and quality in perennial streams, irrigation ditches, ephemeral drainages, <br />and several springs, both upstream and downstream from the areas <br />affected by mining. Ground water levels and quality is monitored in the <br />D-2 coal seam and the North Fork alluvium. Monitoring and reporting of <br />mine inflows was added to the hydrology monitoring plan with the <br />approval of Permit Revision No. 2. <br />H.
