V. Geology - Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6(2)
<br />Geologic descriptions within the permit application can be found on pages
<br />2.04.5-1 and 2; 2.04.6-1 R, 3R, SR, 11, 18R-25; 2.04.7-1, 2, 4, 5-7, 14, 18,
<br />19, 21, 22; and 2.05.6(6) 19, 20, 28, and 41. Additional geologic data and
<br />information appear in Tables 8, 9, 10 and 81; Figures 3-11, Exhibits 8-10, 27,
<br />30, 32, 33 and 35; and Maps 2A, 26, 6-10, 12 and 14. Within the findings
<br />document, discussions of local and regional geology are contained in the
<br />description of the environment portion of the Summary Section and in
<br />Subsection C, Regional Geology of Section VIII, Probable Hydrologic
<br />Consequences and Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Study.
<br />The application is found to be in compliance with Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6(2)
<br />for Eagle Mines 5, 5A and 6.
<br />VI. Hydrologic Balance - Rules 2.04.5, 2.04.7, 2.05.3(4), 2,05.6(3) and 4.05
<br />A. Ground Water Information
<br />Ground water hydrology is described within the permit application in Sections
<br />2.04.5, 2.04.7, and 2.05.6. Additional data and information appears in Tables
<br />3, 4, 5, 6, 7, tl, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, i8, 18A, 14, 20, 23, 28, 29, 30, 73,

<br />Maps 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. Descriptions of ground water occurrence, ground
<br />water monitoring, and mining impacts on ground water within the permit and
<br />adjacent areas can be found in Section VIII, Probable Hydrologic Consequences
<br />and Cumulative Hydrologic Impact Study of this document.
<br />The applicant has supplied sufficient
<br />quantity, with certain stipulations,
<br />Eagle No. 5, 5A and No. 6 Mines.
<br />information on ground water quality and
<br />to make findings of compliance for the
<br />B. Surface Water Information
<br />The surface water information within the permit application is found in
<br />Sections 2.04.7, 2.05.6 and 4.05.15, and in Tables 20-30 and 75-77. Figures
<br />21 through 35 also include information of surface water hydrology. The
<br />regional geology and hydrology and water rights in the vicinity on the mine
<br />are shown on Maps 6 and 16 respectively. A description of surface water
<br />occurrence and mining impacts on surface water within the permit and adjacent
<br />areas can be found in Section VIII, (Probable Hydrologic Consequences of
<br />Mining and Cumulative Hydrologic Impacts Study) of this document.
<br />With the acceptance of the hydrologic stipulations, the Division finds there
<br />is sufficient information within the permit application to find `this section
<br />in compliance.
<br />VII. Alluvial Valley Floors
<br />The applicant has determined that alluvia] valley floors exist along both the
<br />Yampa and the Williams Fork valleys within the permit and adjacent area. This
<br />determination is based upon the fact that flood irrigated agricultural
<br />activities are practiced on unconsolidated streamlaid deposits along both
