~~ Summary Con['d. <br />[ha[ the alluvium of the Big Bo[[om area is isolated from [he aquifers below <br />[he mine plan area. Therefore, the Trapper Mine will not measurably impact <br />the hydrologic functions of the potential AVF.. This conclusion reinforces the <br />earlier analysis done by ICF Inc., a Washington D.C. based consulting firm <br />which reviewed the impact of the AVF position in HR13950 on coal production. <br />Their analysis of the Trapper Mine area showed that ..."the mine would likely <br />have negligible impact on any alluvial valley floors. The mine is to be <br />located on a steep hillside, a couple of miles (or more) from the river. Fur- <br />ther permit analysis by [he USGS has indicated no problems with alluvial val- <br />ley floors. Hence, it was considered unlikely the HR13950's alluvial valley <br />floor positions would impact [his site undP-. reasonable interpretations." <br /> <br />~: i i <br />
