At the time of this renewal, Stipulation No. 46 remains active. Pier elevation data has not been submitted to <br />the Division. <br />The Division consulted the ApplicanWiola[or System as a part of the review of permit revision No. 4. As <br />result of that consultation, the following Stipulation has been attached to the permit: <br />Stipulation No. 59 <br />PARTIAL APPROVAL FOR PERMIT REVISION NO. 4 (PR-04), FOR THE FOIDEL CREEK MINE IS <br />CONDITIONAL UPON RESOLUTION OF THE PITTSTON COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT <br />THAT COVERS THE VIOLATIONS OF A & D COAL, BLACK GOLD COAL, ELKINS ENERGY, ELKINS <br />COAL, GOLDEN CHIP COAL, BROTHERS COAL, D & J COAL, SANSCE MARIE COAL, AND GLORY <br />COAL. PROOF OF RESOLUTION OF THIS COMPREHENSIVE AGREEMENT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO <br />THE DIVISION AS SOON AS 1T BECOMES AVAILABLE. <br />Stipulation No. 59 remains active at the time of this findings. <br />Stipulations that had been attached to the permit previously, but have since been resolved, include: <br />Stipulation No. 60: <br />REPLACE FIGURE 16J WITH A REVISED MAP 23. <br />Stipulation No.60 was complied with on August 31, 1999. <br />Section A -Rule 2.07.6 <br />1. The permit application is accurate and complete. A11 requirements of the Act and these rules have been <br />complied with (2.07.6(2xa)). <br />2. Based on information contained in the permit application and other information available to the Division, <br />the Division finds that surface coal mining and reclamation can be feasibly accomplished at the Foidel <br />Creek Mine (2.07.6(2)(b)). <br />3. The assessment of the probable cumulative impacts of all anticipated coal mining in the general azea on the <br />hydrologic balance, as described in 2.05.6(3), has been made by the Division. This assessment entitled <br />"Yampa River CH1A" (revised March 2000) is available for inspection at the offices of the Division. <br />A brief summary of the Probable Hydrologic Consequences of the Foidel Creek Mine follows: <br />Ground water <br />Several possible effects to the ground water system have been identified. <br />Dewaterine and ootentiometric drawdown in bedrock units <br />Dewatering will occur in the Wadge overburden, possibly out as far as the outcrop around the margins of <br />the basin. Dewatering will occur in the Twenrymile sandstone above the area of active mining. <br />Drawdown will occur in the Trout Creek sandstone if communication with the mine is established through <br />fault zones. Monitoring data indicates no impact to the Trout Creek sandstone to date. <br />C: V HB\C820561RN03\R N03FI N D. doc <br />13 <br />
