River alluvial valley floor. Please refer to Section 2.05.3, Operation Plan -Permit Area, for mine plan details. All <br />surface facilities located on the Williams Fork River alluvial valley floor in association with the No. 5 and No. 6 <br />mines will be reclaimed. The area will be reclaimed to Flood irrigated hayfields. Sloped areas, such as the No. 5 <br />portal faceup, will be returned to the rangeland/wildlife habitat. <br />A complete discussion of the Yampa and Williams Fork Rivers Alluvial Floors aze included in the following sections: <br />2.06.8 -Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation on Areas or Adjacent to Areas Including Alluvial <br />Valley Floors <br />• 2.05 -Minimum Requirements for Operation and Reclamation Plan <br />• 2.04.7 -Hydrology Information <br />If, in future five-(5) year mine permit submittals, full extraction mining is anticipated under either the Yampa or <br />Williams Fork River Alluvial Valley Floors, information concerning the impacts of these proposed mining operations <br />will be included in those submittals. <br />4.25 OPERATIONS ON PRIME FARMLANDS <br />As described in Section 2.04.12, Prime Farmland Investigation, CEC has researched historical land use information <br />and evaluated data on soil resources in the permit area. The results of this investigation indicate that no areas, which <br />could be classified as prime farmland, exist within the areas to be disturbed by CEC. Accordingly, CEC has <br />requested a negative determination for all areas to be disturbed within the permit boundary as lands having value as <br />prime farmland. Based upon this request for a negative determination, the performance standards of this section are <br />not applicable. <br />CEC does not plan any surface coal mining activities; therefore, this section of the performance standards is not <br />applicable. <br />CEC does not plan any surface coal mining activities; therefore, this section of the performance standards is not <br />applicable. <br />4 28 COAL PROCESSING PLANTC AND SUPPORT FACILITIES NOT LOCATED AT OR NEAR THE MINE <br />[ . OR NOT WITHIN THF. P . MTT AREA FOR THE MINE <br />As noted in Section 2.05.3, Operation Plan -Permit Area, all active coal handling and support facilities related to the <br />Eagle Mines will be located within the planned permit area. The location of these facilities are shown on the <br />Structures and Renewable Resources Map (Map 25). Since no coal handling or support facilities associated with the <br />CEC operations will be located outside the permit boundaries, this section is not applicable. <br />CEC has no plans to conduct any in situ mining or processing in conjunction with the mining operations. Therefore, <br />this section of the performance standards is not applicable. <br />Permit Renewal No. 3 4.01-14 7/15/98 <br />
