SECTION III - STATUS OF STIPULATIONS <br /> The following stipulations were attached to the Proposed Decision and Findings of <br /> Compliance since the permit was issued in 1980: <br /> Stipulation No. 1 <br /> Neither West Elk Coal Company, nor any succeeding operator of the West Elk <br /> project's coal leases and reserves will be permitted to mine coal within the <br /> Minnesota Creek Basin, until DMG has received a copy of an adjudicated plan of <br /> augmentation. <br /> MCC provided an adjudicated plan of augmentation (Exhibit 52, Volume 11) in 1989. <br /> STATUS: Complied With <br /> Stipulation No. 2 <br /> The applicant shall continue to submit to the Division an annual report of inflows, <br /> discharges and consumption of water within the mine. This report is to include a <br /> mine workings map showing the location and quantity of inflows, a table keyed to <br /> the mine map which shall contain the source (i.E., Fault, fractures, etc.), Quantity, <br /> duration, and quality (i.E. pH, electro-conductivity and temperature) of all inflows, a <br /> table containing records of water discharged from the mine, consumed in the mine, <br /> and imported for use within the mine, a map showing current water uses, a <br /> discussion of the water balance within the mine, and finally a projection of <br /> hydrologic impacts of mining in the upcoming year. This shall be submitted no later <br /> than April 30 of each year, included with the AHR. <br /> The commitment to provide all of the above information is contained within the permit. <br /> Mine water consumption data is part of the mine water balance included in each AHR. <br /> One minor change to the stipulation was made. With the approval of Technical Revision <br /> No. 54, the due date of the Annual Hydrologic Report (AHR) was changed to April 30 of <br /> each year. The above information is submitted with the AHR. <br /> STATUS: Terminated <br /> Stipulation No. 3 <br /> The operator shall, upon closure, install water-tight seals within the mine to prevent <br /> gravity discharge. This requirement may be waived upon the Division's approval of <br /> a plan submitted by the operator. This plan shall include a demonstration that the <br /> water quality of the discharge from the mine workings will be of acceptable quality <br /> and will remain acceptable after mine closure. This shall include chemical analysis <br /> and a predictive model that uses oxidation and reduction potential to determine <br /> 4 <br />
