the most part, be limited to dry weather use. Additional steps to minimize surface dksturbante will include ,burying, ar removing from the site, all garbage and foreign debris. Surface and sub-surface waters wit be protected from contamination and the intem7ingting of water from different aquifers wit be prevented. Also, unless required for monitaing or as a water supply, artesian flow wilt be prevented try appropriate sealing of the hole. Where necessary, smelt d~~+ersions wiN be used to divert surface runoff around and away from the immediate drill site, Runoff from the drill sites wUi be vary small because of the small area involved and will not ba passed through a sedimentation dam unless it occurs in a drainage where a sedimentation dam has already tyeen constructed, Any water generated by the drilling aparation, i.e. when driling with water, wiN be contained in small pits and covered with at least two feet of maters! ar atiawed to evaporate, Water bearing drtN holes located in areas where mining is not imminent (will not be mined within two years} wits be plugged according to f=igure 3.3.1, 3,3.1A, 3,3.18 or 3.3,1C. Sintz ail dnN hales are accurately located far mine purposes, an above-ground marker is not required. A market wiii tte installed only if a survey has not yet been completed. Dry drill holes wiii be plugged with appropriate cuttings only. Thane holes wNt be reclaimed as will any roads that are buii# to provide access anq are no longer required. This wNi include returning the area to its approximate original contours, ripping or discing heavily com- pacted areas, replacing topsaN, and seeding with appropriate seed mixes (refer to Secgan 3.6.3.5}. In instances where a drip hole is located on cropland, a steel rod ar wooden marker wiii not be cemented into the driN twle tx}liar, Since alt drill holes are accurately located for mine activigr purposes, an above-ground marker is not required. In the avant that the hole Heads to be relocated at a later date, sur- vay coordinates are avaNab-e. The reclamation procedures as described earlier wilt be followed after the drill hole has been seated aft', Development drill holes located in areas where mining is imminent {wits ba mined wthin two years}, and that do Hat enter an ~uifer below the lowest coal seam to be mirrsd, will not be sealed acxarding to Figure 3.3-1, 3.3.1A, or 3.3.19. tiawever, drill rxidings will be piac~i into the hales to seal the opening at the surface. This will prevent injury to man and wildlife. Ttta proximity of the open pit and its imminent advancement through the area minimizes any possible benefit of sealing such drill hoses. 3-25 f.~ = . _ ,. AP~'RO~i~, }. l}
