Chapter 2 <br />Table 2-1 <br />Design Criteria <br />Topic Design Criteria for the Proposed Action <br /> requirements; and <br /> removing temporary or large siltation structures from drainways <br /> after disturbed areas are revegetated and stabilized, if required by State and <br /> the Reclamation Plan. Federal Law <br /> MCC Project <br /> Plan, BMP <br />Drilling Water 60. Drilling water (< 10 acre-feet per year for shaft and MDW) will be US Fish and <br /> obtained from MCC's non-tributary water in the mine or Minnesota Wildlife <br /> Creek. This quantity of water is within the GMUG's blanket Service <br /> consultation with USFWS for depletion associated with the Upper (LTSFWS), <br /> Colorado River System. Forest Plan <br /> 61. Water will be pumped from portable tanks using ahigh-pressure BMP, MCC <br /> hose or transported to the site with mobile water carriers. Project Plan <br />Water hifluence 62. Within WIZ, an adequate vegetative buffer or filter strip would be WCPH (FSH <br />Zone (WIZ) maintained to filter runoff from the road before it reaches the creek, 2509.25), <br /> wherever possible. BMP <br /> 63. All disturbed areas within 100 feet of a WIZ would be protected WCPH (FSH <br /> with sediment control materials specified by the FS. 2509.25), <br /> BMP <br />Drill Holes as Water 64. MCC does not anticipate encountering any significant aquifers MCC Project <br />Monitoring Wells during drilling. However, if it is decided that groundwater Plan <br /> monitoring is required by the State permit, drill holes may be used <br /> as monitoring wells. <br />WETLANDS <br /> 65. Surface use or disturbances (except for surface subsidence and Forest <br /> resource monitoring purposes defined in the approved mining Service <br /> permit) will not be permitted in riparian, wetland or floodplain Manual, <br /> areas, or within a buffer zone surrounding these areas (the Lease <br /> definition of riparian areas and appropriate buffer zone will be Stipulation <br /> consistent with that defined in the Forest Service Manual and and WCPH <br /> Water Conservation Practices Handbook, unless specifically (FSH <br /> approved by the Authorized Officer. Wetland definition will follow 2509.25) <br /> Army Corps of Engineers guidelines) unless no practical <br /> alterlatives exist. <br />WILDLIFE <br />Threatened, 66. Appropriate populations or habitats will be surveyed on a site- Federal Coal <br />Endangered and specific basis prior to any ground disturbing activities and Lease <br />Sensitive Faunal appropriate avoidance, buffering or other restrictions will be Stipulation <br />Species applied if threatened or endangered faunal species or their habitats <br /> are present. <br />. <br />~ <br />~~ <br />32 Deer Creek Ventilation Shaft and E Seain Methane Drainage Wells FEIS <br />
