BSSPONSB: <br />The field investigations of the general area described under <br />Eule 2.06.8 (3) resulted in the identification of three subject <br />areas vhich are possibly alluvial valley floors. These areas, shown <br />on Map 4, Mine No. 3 Hydrology, are 1) the Foidel Creek floodplain, <br />2) the Middle Creek floodplain, which receives mine drainage from <br />the proposed surface mining area, and 3) the Fiah Creek floodplain, <br />The information provided under this Bule, along vith information <br />provided under Hule 2.04 and 2.05 in this application, documents the <br />characteristics supporting the essential hydrologic functions of <br />affected alluvial valley floors in the proposed permit and adjacent <br />area. <br />Based on the information accumulated in the reconnaissance and <br />field investigations and the baseline data collection program, the <br />effects of the proposed mining and reclamation plan on alluvial <br />valley floors dovnstream from the proposed permit area have been <br />evaluated. The possible direct and indirect effects of mining on <br />the essential hydrologic functions of the three applicable subject <br />areas which may contain alluvial valley floors are discussed. <br />Supporting data used for the material damage determination are <br />summarized in the discussion, and can be reviewed under the <br />following Rules: <br />Geologic data (from Bulea 2.04.6 and 2.06.8 (3)). <br />Soils and vegetation data (from Rules 2.04.9, 2.4.10 and 2.06.8 <br />(3)). <br />2.06-31 <br />
