An envirortmental monitoring system as described in Tab 15 of the permit <br />application has been installed, maintained, and operated by the permittee on all <br />alluvial valley floors during surface coal mining and reclamation operations and will <br />continue until all bonds are released in accordance with Rule 3 (4.24.4). <br />Plans and commitments contained in Tabs 15 through 18, and Tab 22, adequately <br />address those measures which will be taken to monitor potential impacts and insure <br />that the essential hydrologic functions of alluvial valley floors within the permit area <br />are reestablished after mining and that the essential hydrologic functions of alluvial <br />valley floors outside the permit area are preserved during and after mining. If future <br />monitoring of affected surface and ground waters indicates trends which necessita[e <br />alteration of the projections upon which these AVF findings are based, the findings <br />will be reevaluated and modified as appropriate. <br />XIII. Operations on Prime Farmland <br />The Division has made a negative determination for the presence of prime farmlands <br />within the permit area. This decision was based on the evidence provided by the Soil <br />Conservation Service that there are no prime farmland mapping units within the proposed <br />permit area. This evidence can be found in Volume 5, Tab 9, Appendix 9-5. <br />Seneca 11-W Findings Document 43 June 15, 2001 <br />Permit Renewal No. 3 <br />
