h. WASTES, HAZARDOUS OR SOLID <br />• No hazardous wastes are used during the coal <br />mining process. Solid human wastes are <br />processed through two septic tanks and a leach <br />field as part of the surface facilities at the <br />mine. Other solid waste (trash) is picked up <br />regularly by trash disposal businesses and <br />disposed of in an appropriate manner. <br />Therefore, there are no identified direct, <br />indirect or cumulative impact. <br />i. WATER QUALITY (Drinking/Ground) <br />No direct, indirect or cumulative impacts have <br />S been identified. <br />j. WETLANDS/RIPARIAN ZONES <br />No direct, indirect or cumulative impacts have <br />been identified. <br />k. WILD AND SCENIC RIVER <br />Leasing of the proposed tract will not impact <br />• any Wild and Scenic River. <br />1. WILDERNESS <br />The proposed lease area is not located within <br />or near any identified wilderness or <br />wilderness study areas. <br />2. Soils <br />Direct Impacts- Since no active surface disturbance <br />is proposed, no soil impacts would result from this <br />action. Subsidence could occur, which could result <br />in some low-volume, localized soil erosion. <br />Indirect Impacts- No impacts have been identified. <br />Cumulative Impacts- At the time that support <br />pillars are removed, a cumulative impact from <br />subsidence could occur throughout the mined area. <br />State regulations require the company to conduct <br />operations in such a manner as to control or <br />prevent effects of subsidence (see Section 3 <br />following). <br />• 11 <br />
