CONTROLLED SURFACE USE .STIPULATION
GENERAL FOREST
• Surface occupancy or use is subject to the following special operating
constraints.
Underground mining operations will result in surface subsidence. The
operatorJlessee shall perform a study co secure adequate baseline data to
quantify the existing surface resources on and adjacent to the lease area.
Existing data may be used if such data is adequate for the intended
purposes. The study shall be adequate to locate, quantif;~, and demonstrate
the inter-relationship of the geology, topography, surface hydrology,
vegetation and wildlife. Baseline data will be established so that future
programs of observation can be incorporated at regular intervals for
comparison.
The operator/lessee shall establish a monicor'_ng system to locate, measure
and quantify the progressive and final effects of underground mining
ac[ivities on the rooographic surface, underground.and surface hydrology
and vegetation. The monitoring system shall utilize techniques which will
provide a continuing record of change over time and an analytical method
for location and measurement of a number of points over the lease area.
The monitoring shall incorporate and be an extensior. of t':e baseline data.
If subsidence acti•rates a :andslide which adversely affects surface
resources, or a documented rater loss, the operator shall (where
applicable):
• 1. Res core stream channels and surface drai-,age or protect stream
flow with earthwor:: or .er?orary cuivert_ng; or
2. Restore of=acted roads; or
3. Revegeta_e a, r.ecessar? to protect against erosion; or
4. Res co re or replace sur~ace structures or compensate the owner of
those surface s[ruct•:res; or
~. Provide other mitigation (which could include water augmentation,
restoration, or rep lace sent).
On lands described below:
National Forest System Lards within the entire lease.
For the purpose of:
To insure the stability of surface resources :,nd f;~cilities during and
after the coal mining operations.
