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
operator/lessee shall perform a study to secure adequate baseline data [o
quantify the existing surface resources on and adjacent to [he lease area.
Existing data may be used if such data is adequate for the intended
purposes. The study shall be adequate to locate, quantify, 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 moni;,or'_ng system to Locate, measure
and quantify the progressive and final effects of underground mining
activities on the rooographic surface, under sround and surface hydrology
and vegetation. The monitoring system shall utilize cechnieues which will
provide a continuing record o: change over time ar.d an analytical method
for location and m=_asurement o~ a number of ooints over the lease area.
The monitoring shall ir.corporat=_ and be an extensior. of *'-e baseline data.

•
If subsidence activates a _andslide which adversely affects surface
resources, or a documented eater loss, the operator shall ('where
applicable):
1. Restore su-e~m c ;annals and surface drainage or protect stream
flow with earthworms or .e^?orary cuive rt_ng; or
2. Restore af_acted roads: or
3. Revegetate a, cece_,ar:: to protect against erosion; or
4, Restore or replace sur=ace structures or compensate the owner of
those surface struct~:re_; or
~. Provide other m'_=igztior, !which could incl~;de water augmentation,
restore*_ion, or rep Lacement)
On lands described below:
National Forest Srstem Lands within the entire '.ease.
For the purpose of:
To insure the stabili~;: o: surfaco resources .nd Facilities during and
