• 2.05.6 DOW -Along the conveyor belt underpasses or overpasses should be built for wildlife migration. These under/over passes should be located not further than'/< mile apart and should be placed for maximum wildlife use based on topography and wildlife movements. Each under/over pass should be at least 100 feet long. Applicant - The design of the downhill conveyor's over/underpass was reviewed and approved by the DOW DOW -Water quality should be maintained via treatment or settling ponds. Sediment loading and/or acidic discharges have been problems with mines along the North Fork River in the past. This should not be allowed to occur. A prescribed monitoring plan should be outlined in the operations plan. Applicant -The applicant proposes the use of five sediment ponds to control sediment loading in adjacent streams. The DOW has alleged sediment • loading and/or acidic discharges have been a problem in the past. The DMG should investigate this allegation. The applicant believes the "DOW's past" is almost 20 years ago prior to the implementation of SMCRA. All water discharged from the mine operation will fall under discharge permit requirements. DOW - If discharge water quality is good, there is potential for water developments such as stock pond type ponds which would be available and beneficial for wildlife use. This type of development could be included in a wildlife mitigation plan. Applicant -There are numerous stock ponds in the permit and adjacent area. If the mine impacts the water in the ponds it will mitigate the loss by augmenting the water supply with water from the mine or Deer Trail Ditch (reference Section 2.04.7(3)). DOW -Close and revegetate all roads which will no longer be used when the main access road is established. We will be happy to prescribe a vegetation list beneficial to wildlife. • PR-06 2.05 - 63 - o7lot APPI2oVc9 ~~I S /o z
