,. ~. • t <br />Fb <br />Serial Nn, C-56447 <br />CONTROLLED SURFACE USE STIPULATION <br />GENERAL FOREST <br />Surface occupancy or use is subject to the following special operating <br />constraints. <br />Underground' mining operations will result in surface subsidence. The <br />operator/lessee shall perform a study to secure adequate baseline data to <br />quantify the existing surface resources on and adjacent to the lease area. <br />Existing data may be used if such data is adequate for the intended <br />purposes. The study shall be adequate to locate, quantify, and demonstrate <br />the inter-relationship of the geology, topography, surface hydrology, <br />vegetation and wildlife. Baseline data will be established so that future <br />programs of observation can be incorporated at regular intervals for <br />comparison. <br />The operator/lessee shall establish a monitoring system, to locate, measure <br />and quantify the progressive and final effects of underground mining <br />activities on the topographic surface, underground and surface hydrology <br />.and vegetation. The monitoring system shall utilize techniques which will <br />provide a continuing record of change over time and an analytical method <br />for location and measurement ot" a number of points over the, lease area. <br />The monitoring shall incorporate and be an extension of the baseline data. <br />If subsidence activates a landslide which adversely affects surface <br />resources, or a documented water loss, the operator shall (where <br />applicable) : , <br />1. Restore stream dhannels and surface drainage or protect stream <br />flow with earthwork or temporary eulverting; or <br />2. Restore affected roads; or. <br />3. Revegetate as necessary to protect against erosion; or <br />4. Restore or replace surface structures or compensate the owner of <br />chose surface structures; or <br />5. Provide ocher mitigation (which could include water augmentation, <br />zestoration, or replacement). <br />On lands described below: <br />National Forest System Lands within the entire lease. <br />For the purpose of: <br />To insure the stability of surface resources and facilities during and <br />after the coal mining operations. <br />
