• 2.05.3 <br />Run-off from the loadout disturbance is generally contained in two sediment <br />ponds which contain the run-off from the batch weigh loadout and most of <br />the disturbance to the east. Run-off from a transfer tower the disturbance <br />associated with a conveyor support and the disturbed area along the western <br />loadout track will not be contained in sediment ponds. There are eleven <br />SAE areas where run-off will be filtered through a sediment fence before it <br />leaves the permit area. Sample points for the SAES will be located near the <br />sediment fences. The design forthe alternative sediment control devices are <br />presented in Exhibit 8 pages ExhB- 187 through 189 and the locations are <br />shown on Map 20. <br />During 2002, fourteen exploration holes were drilled to identify the burn line <br />in the B-Seam. Hole locations are shown on Map 9, Hydrologic Monitoring <br />Location Map. The Operator is considering constructing a new B-Seam <br />portal in lieu of accessing the B-Seam through ramps from the D-Seam. An. <br />accurate location of the burn line is necessary to determine if a new portal <br />is feasible. The explorations holes will be drilled with a small skid mounted <br />drill. Hole diameters will be 6-inches or less. The average hole depth is 350- <br />• feet with a range in depth from 80 to 510 feet. The holes will be sealed in <br />accordance with Rule 4.07. Run-off from the drill pads and associated light <br />use roads/trails will be contained by sediment ponds B & C. <br />During 2002, one exploration hole KM-3 was drilled to assess the presence <br />of water in the old King Mine workings. The hole location is shown on Map <br />9, Hydrologic Monitoring Location Map. The hole was sealed in accordance <br />with Rule 4.07. Run-off from the drill pads will be contained by a sediment <br />fence as described above. <br />During 2003, the Operator intends to drill up to nine exploration holes. Five <br />will be drilled along Terror Creek and two will be drilled in Stephens Draw. <br />During 2003, the Operator intends to drill fourteen geotechnical holes and <br />three alluvial wells for the proposed new gob pile. Drilling will be from new <br />light use roads so drill pads are not required. <br />i <br />MR-30 2.05 - 35 - 9/06/03 <br />APPRoveD <br />~~/~/~3 <br />
