adjacent to the haul road. The area is utilized for timber storage and <br />appropriate computer analysis of runoff discharges have been made <br />(4.05.2(3)(b)(I)). <br />B. Diversions and Conveyance of Overland Flow <br />All diversions within the permit area are designed and constructed in accordance <br />with Rule 4.05.3. Designs are discussed in Section 2.05.3 and in Appendix 8 in the <br />permit application. <br />C. Stream Channel Diversions <br />1. The Division proposes to approve the permanent diversion of an intermittent <br />stream draining less than one squaze mile, which flows along the north side of <br />the coal waste pile. This decision is based on a tinding that the proposed <br />diversion meets the requirements of 4.05.18 and 4.05.4, applicable local, State, <br />and Federal statutes and regulations and that the diversion is designed to <br />safeguard public safety and to minimize adverse impacts to the hydrologic <br />balance. (4.05.4(1) and (4)). <br />2. Channel lining structures, retention basins, and artificial channel roughness <br />structures are proposed for use to control erosion. These means are proposed <br />to be approved by the Division since they are necessary to control erosion, they <br />are stable and will require minimal maintenance. (4.05.4(2)(a)). <br />D. Sedimentation Ponds <br />Design criteria and specifications have been approved for use in both sediment ponds <br />currently in place at the mine site. This decision was based on a thorough analytical <br />demonstration by a qualified professional engineer that the resulting sediment pond <br />will be as environmentally sound and structurally stable taking into consideration <br />physical, climatological and other characteristics of the site. (4.05.6(11)). <br />E. Impoundments <br />Impoundments are not proposed at this time. <br />F. Ground and Surface Water Monitoring <br />The applicant will conduct monitoring of ground water in a manner approved <br />by the Division. The ground water monitoring plan is as follows: (4.05.13(1)). <br />Water quality of ground water is monitored downgradient of the ponds to insure <br />alluvial ground water in Hay Gulch is being protected. National King Coal will <br />monitor the alluvial well for the following parameters on a quarterly basis: <br />14 <br />
