• 2.05.6(6) <br />Dove Cave (5DT1325) is within the permit boundary. A prehistoric open <br />campsite (5DT1326) located on the first bench above Hubbard Creek and on <br />the south side of the Dove Gulch Drainage is likely within the permit <br />boundary. <br />(a)(i) No response required. <br />(a)(ii) A brief description of all structures and renewable resource lands which exist <br />within the proposed permit and adjacent area. <br />(a)(ii)(A) colluvial deposits are the source of water for the springs. Most of the <br />springs are undeveloped however, some springs are water sources for <br />ponds. Flows from the springs vary widely. See Volume III, Exhibit 3 for <br />historic flow records. <br />Six of the springs located within or adjacent to the permit area are decreed <br />water rights shown on Map 23 -Water Rights Location. The J & M Springs <br />• & Pipelines are claimed for domestic and stock watering purposes. Water <br />right numbers 1 and 3 are decreed for 4 gallons per minute. Number 2 is <br />decreed for 2 gpm. Numbers 4 and 5 are decreed for 5 gpm. The Applicant <br />owns the J & M Springs and Pipelines No. 1, 2, 3 & 4. Bowie Spring S-3 is <br />decreed for 15 gallons per minute. The six springs are located in colluvial <br />deposits and all are at least 800 feet above the coal seam to be mined. The <br />water bearing colluvial deposits, the water source of the springs, are <br />relatively small extending from the spring no further than the major ridge lines <br />that separate the ephemeral channels in which the springs are located. The <br />affect of subsidence is not predicted to extend into the ephemeral channels <br />which are the source of ground water flow for the five springs. Therefore, the <br />springs should not be affected by mining. <br />The USDA-FS has eight decreed water rights within the permit boundary. <br />See following table and Map 23. Six of the water rights are ponds and two <br />are springs and ponds. One of the ponds, water rights 84, has not been field <br />verified or monitored by the Operator. Water right 93 is a pond for which the <br />USDA-FS is unable to ascertain a location. Four of the USDA-FS water <br />• rights have been assigned a range improvement inventory number (RIIN). <br />PR-11 2.05 - 100 - 11/08 <br />/~ p f Rov~.D <br />IZ~l9~D~ <br />
