• 2.06 <br />The surface mining operation will not interrupt, <br />discontinue or preclude farming based upon its location <br />to the outlined alluvial valley floor. The drainage <br />control plan for the surface mining operation was <br />designed so that the surface and groundwater of the area <br />are not impacted by the operation. In fact, little or no <br />groundwater occurs within the colluvial material on which <br />the lower portion of the planned disturbance is to occur. <br />Surface waters from the disturbed area resulting from <br />runoff caused by rainfall or snow is collected and routed <br />through appropriate sedimentation ponds for treatment as <br />required to meet the effluent requirements of the NPDES <br />permit. Therefore, no damage will be caused by the <br />loadout operation to the quantity and quality of water in <br />the surface and groundwater systems that supply the <br />alluvial valley floors adjacent to the permit area. <br />2.06.9 Augering <br />The applicant does not plan to conduct augering <br />• operations, therefore no response is required for this <br />section. <br />2.06.10 Coal Processing Plants and Support Facilities not Located <br />Within the Permit Area. <br />The applicant will utilize support facilities currently <br />permitted for the Bowie No. 1 Mine (permit C-81-038). <br />The applicant will utilize the Bowie No. 1 Mine's unit <br />train loadout, equipment repair shop, administrative <br />offices and other support facilities.
