Post Damage Monitoring <br />• Post-damage monitoring will oe wnducted like the pre-damage monitoring. <br />Ptining Techniques <br />Conventional roonrand-pillar mining with pillar extraction 'will be used <br />throughout the permit area. 'ibis will affect the local perched we ter bear- <br />ing acne, but will have no effect on meter utilization. <br />Limited mining will be conducted in buffer areas designated by BLM in Lease <br />#fC-37210. Within these areas below the Steven's CLlch and East Ibatcap <br />alluvium, only development entries will be mined. See Map 2~. In areas <br />between 600 and 800 ft. of overburden, the alluvium will be undermined using <br />development only, and no pillar recovery. Calculations show that this <br />limited extraction will maintain the surface areas with no subsidence. See <br />Pillar Stability l~port, Volume 2. In areas of greater than 800 ft. of <br />overburden, conventional rornrand-pillar technique with pillar extraction <br />will be conducted. <br />• Repair Procedure <br />No repair procedures are required because no cracking is possible below the <br />Steven's Gulch and Fast lbatcap alluvium. 'This is assured by the long-term <br />stability of the pillars remaining. <br />The local perched water-bearing a~nes would be disrupted, but are limited in <br />extent and are mt put to beneficial use. IJU effect on area water util iza- <br />tion is anticipated. <br />• <br />
