• 2.05.3 <br />Run-off from the loadout disturbance is generally contained in two sediment ponds <br />which contain the run-off from the batch weigh loadout and most of the disturbance <br />to the east. Run-off from a transfer tower the disturbance associated with a <br />conveyor support and the disturbed area along the western loadout track will not be <br />contained in sediment ponds. There are eleven SAE areas where run-off will be <br />filtered through a sediment fence before it leaves the permit area. Sample points for <br />the SAEs will be located near the sediment fences. The design for the alternative <br />sediment control devices are presented in Exhibit 8 pages Exh8- 187 through 189 <br />and the locations are shown on Map 20. <br />During 2002, fourteen exploration holes were drilled to identify the burn line in the B- <br />Seam. Hole locations are shown on Map 9, Hydrologic Monitoring Location Map. <br />The Operator is considering constructing a new B-Seam portal in lieu of accessing <br />the B-Seam through ramps from the D-Seam. An accurate location of the burn line <br />is necessary to determine if a new portal is feasible. The explorations holes will be <br />drilled with a small skid mounted drill. Hole diameters will be 6-inches or less. The <br />average hole depth is 350-feet with a range in depth from 80 to 510 feet. The holes <br />will be sealed in accordance with Rule 4.07. Run-off from the drill pads and <br />associated light use roads/trails will be contained by sediment ponds B & C. <br />During 2002, one exploration hole KM-3 was drilled to assess the presence of water <br />in the old King Mine workings. The hole location is shown on Map 9, Hydrologic <br />• Monitoring Location Map. The hole was sealed in accordance with Rule 4.07. Run- <br />off from the drill pads will be contained by a sediment fence as described above. <br />During 2003, the Operator drilled five exploration holes. Three were drilled along <br />Terror Creek and two were drilled in Stephens Draw. <br />During 2003, the Operator drilled fourteen geotechnical holes and three alluvial wells <br />for the proposed new gob pile. Drilling was from new light use roads so drill pads <br />were not required. <br />During 2004, the Operator did not drill any gob vent holes or exploration holes. <br />During 2005, the Operator drilled five gob vent holes. <br />During 2006 the operator drilled five gob vent holes. <br />During 2007 the operator drilled six gob vent holes and one geotech hole along <br />Hubbard Creek. The geotech hole was drilled from a drill site west of Hubbard <br />Creek Road. A short section of access road was constructed from Hubbard <br />Creek Road to the drill site. A portion of the access road to the drill site is within <br />100 feet of Hubbard Creek, a perennial stream. Rule 4.05.18 requires the DRMS <br />make a finding that authorizes any proposed disturbance within 100 feet of a <br />perennial stream. By letter dated March 2, 2007, to Bowie Resources, LLC, the <br />DRMS made such a finding. The DRMS found the disturbance will not cause or <br />• contribute to the violation of applicable water quality standards and that the water <br />TR-58 2.05 - 35 - 11/08 <br />/~ P~'~.~vFJJ <br />L-/ 2 Z'/D ,yi <br />
