§2.05 APPLICATION FOR PERMIT FOR SURFACE OR UNDERGROUND MINING <br />ACTIVITIES - MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR OPERATION AND <br />RECLAMATION PLANS. <br />2.05.6 Mitigation of Surface Coal Mining Operation Impacts. (cont'd.) <br />(6)(a)(ii)(A) (Cont'd.) <br />presently not considered aquifers or renewable resource lands. <br />Additional groundwater investigation of Renewable Resource Lands and the other <br />potential colluvial/alluvial deposits were performed during the summer 1985. Shallow <br />monitoring wells were installed employing auger drill methods, 2- to 4-inch PVC casing, <br />and lithologic sampling. See Map No. 4-1 for locations of shallow monitoring wells. <br />Although similar in geomorphic characteristics, the presence and nature of groundwater <br />was ascertained in these smaller deposits. During monitoring well installation, the <br />degree of development of aquifer characteristics was determined. Specific areas <br />investigated were lithology, degree of sorting, nature of fluvial influence, field <br />permeability testing, and water quality. <br />No mining is scheduled during this permit term therefore areas of potential <br />colluvial/alluvial deposits will not be undermined. To date, no impacts to renewable <br />resource lands have been noted as a result of mining beneath such lands. <br />Forty-one (41) buildings or structures have been identified within the C-81-038 permit <br />area as depicted on Map 9-7. One of the forty-one structures, No. 27, is located within <br />the portion of the permit boundary to be transferred to the Bowie No. 2 Mine by PR-04. <br />The structures are ranch-recreation use oriented except for the Muckle House, a <br />restaurant now closed, which has operated intermittently over the last several years) <br />and the applicants well field and <br />PR-04 -138- 06/10
