Design Criteria - <br /> <br />Topic .. Design Criteria for the Proposed Action <br /> 60. Water will be pumped from portable tanks using a high- BMP, MCC <br /> pressure hose or transported to the site with mobile water Project Plan <br /> carriers. <br />Water Influence 61. Within WIZ, an adequate vegetative buffer or filter strip WCPH (FSH <br />Zone (WIZ) would be maintained to filter runoff from the road before 2509.25), <br /> it reaches the creek, wherever possible. BMP <br /> 62. All disturbed areas within 100 feet of a WIZ would be WCPH (FSH <br /> protected with sediment control materials specified by the 2509.25), <br /> FS. BMP <br />Drill Holes as 63. MCC does not anticipate encountering any significant MCC Project <br />Water Monitoring aquifers during drilling. However, if it is decided that Plan <br />Wells groundwater monitoring is required by the State permit, <br /> drill holes may be used as monitoring wells. <br />WETLANDS <br /> 64. Surface use or disturbances (except for surface Forest <br /> subsidence and resource monitoring purposes defined in Service <br /> the approved mining permit) will not be permitted in Manual, <br /> riparian, wetland or floodplain areas, or within a buffer Lease <br /> zone surrounding these areas (the definition of riparian Stipulation <br /> areas and appropriate buffer zone will be consistent and WCPH <br /> with that defined in the Forest Service Manual and (FSH <br /> Water Conservation Practices Handbook, unless 2509.25) <br /> specifically approved by the Authorized Officer. Wetland <br /> definition will follow Army Corps of Engineers <br /> guidelines) unless no practical alternatives exist. <br />WILDLIFE <br />Threatened, 65. Appropriate populations or habitats will be surveyed on a Federal Coal <br />Endangered and site-specific basis prior to any ground disturbing activities Lease <br />Sensitive Faunal and appropriate avoidance, buffering or other restrictions Stipulation <br />'Species will be applied if threatened or endangered faunal species <br /> or their habitats are present. <br /> 66. Water depletions of the Colorado River System as they USFWS <br /> pertain to the four endangered fishes (associated with <br /> MDW drilling and shaft construction) have previously <br /> been consulted upon with the US Fish and Wildlife <br /> Service in a programmatic biological opinion. <br /> 67. Avoid or minimize impacts to lynx habitat. Canada <br /> a Lynx <br /> Conservation <br /> Assessment <br /> and Strategy <br /> (LCAS)
