quality and quantity of ground water pumped from this mine should be <br />submitted as a part of the permit application. This information should be <br />useful for predicting the quantity and quality of groundwater which may need <br />to be pumped out of the proposed Deserado Mine. <br />The probable hydrologic consequences of mining needs to be revised and <br />resubmitted. The revision should include a discussion of at least the <br />following: the effects of subsidence on flow in Scullion Gulch and Red <br />Wash and the effect this would have on the hydrologic balance of the area <br />and the White River; the effects of subsidence on the aquifers or <br />water - bearing strata above the proposed mining operations (e.g., the amount <br />of water which could drain from these aquifers, the length of time it would <br />take for equilibrium to be reestablished, the impact on total hydrologic <br />balance as a result of water flowing from these aquifers or water bearing <br />strata into the mine, a prediction of the quality of the water which will <br />accumulate in the abandoned mine workings, etc.). <br />Also, the figures in Section II.0 of the permit application indicate that <br />several stock ponds exist over the proposed mining area. The applicant <br />needs to determine the effect of subsidence on these ponds, and provide a <br />plan for repairing or replacing ponds, if necessary. <br />(c) <br />Detailed drawings of the methods used to seal all underground mine openings <br />to prevent water from draining from the mine need to be provided. All as- <br />sumptions, methodologies, and calculations used to design the seals should <br />also be included in the permit application. <br />(6) Subsidence Survey, Subsidence Monitoring, and Subsidence Control Plan <br />(a) <br />A complete inventory of all structures and "renewable resources" lands <br />9[)D <br />
