V. Geology - Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6
A detailed description of the geology of the proposed permit area and adjacent
area is contained under Section 2.04.6, of the permit application. Additional
information on the geology of the permit and adjacent area is shown on Map 4,
Fish Creek Tipple Geology; Map 6, Fish Creek Tipple Stream Channel
Cross-Sections; and Figures 1 and 2.
Since no additional disturbance of the strata underlying the permit area is
planned the Division is waiving the physical and chemical analyses of core
samples for this permit. Information on overburden analyses done for the
adjacent Energy Mine No. 3 can be found in Tables 1, 2, and 3. No
acid-forming, toxic-forming or alkalinity producing materials were identified
as part of the Energy Mine No. 3 analyses.
This section is in compliance with Rules 2.05.5 and 2.04.6
VI. Hydrologic Balance -Rules 2.04.5, 2.04.7, 2.05.3(4), 2.05.6(3) and
4.05.
A. Ground Water Information
Ground water information within the permit application is found in Section
2.04.7. Additional information is found on Map 3, Twentymile Park Hydrology;
Map 5, Fish Creek Tipple Hydrology; Map 6, Fish Creek Tipple Stream Channel
Cross-Sections; Figures 6 and 8, and Tables 30 and 31.
A description of ground water occurrence and mining impacts on ground water
within the permit and adjacent areas can be found in Section VIII of this
document, "Probable Hydrologic Consequences of Mining and Cumulative
Hydrologic Impact Study: and the Energy No. 3 Mine Findings Document.
B. Surface Water Information
A description of the surface water system in the proposed permit and adjacent
area is contained in Section 2.04.7 of the permit application. Additional
information is found on Map 5, Fish Creek Tipple Hydrology; Figures 7 and 9,
and Tables 28 and 29.
C. Hydrologic Monitoring Plan
Hydrologic monitoring at the mine is being conducted to determine the effects
of the coal loading activities on the quantity and quality of ground and
surface waters and to verify predictions of probable hydrologic consequences
of the operation. The proposed hydrologic monitoring plan for the Fish Creek
tipple is presented in Tables 4, 34 and 35 of the permit application. The
applicant has proposed to monitor seven shallow aquifer wells, three stream
sites and one effluent site on the Fish Creek. The locations of all
hydrologic monitoring sites are shown on Map 5, Fish Creek Tipple Hydrology.
The hydrologic monitoring frequency will be conducted according to the
