Geology Description - Rule 2.04.6 <br />1. The ootential of existing aquifers in the general area hav <br />RESPONSE: <br />• <br />As stated in Section 2.04.7, there are no aquifers found within the <br />permit area. The only possible aquifer in the general area providing <br />useable and acceptable quantities of water is the colluvium material of <br />Lightner Creek which is north of the permit area and considerably below <br />the "A" coal seam. There are no wells within the permit area and/or <br />Coal Gulch that have been permitted by the State Engineer of Colorado. <br />Most water wells in the general area surrounding the planned Coal Gulch <br />Mine are found in Lightner Creek north of the permit area. As shown on <br />Figure lA, Typical Cross Section of the General Area, the Lightner Creek <br />colluvium material is stratigraphically located at a considerable depth <br />below the "A" Coal Seam and other coal seams found in the permit area. <br />Likewise, the Lightner Creek colluvium is found up-dip of the "A" Coal <br />Seam. Only a relatively small portion of the permit area (and none of <br />the permit area that will be affected by surface disturbance) drains <br />north to Lightner Creek. <br />• <br />• <br />t1AR 0 A 1986 <br />2.oN-1Za <br />
