2. Please add permit text discussion at the bottom of page 2.05-142 regarding <br />the subsidence consequences and mitigation to any loss of surface water flow <br />in Stevens Gulch. <br />The applicant has provided adequate information regarding the Pitkin Mesa Pipeline in <br />compliance with Rule 2.05.6(6)(0 [subsidence control plan]. HDPE pipe will be installed <br />over the subsided area prior to mining and ultimately buried once the majority of <br />subsidence is complete. Monitoring of both the pipeline and Stevens Gulch road via <br />subsidence monuments is proposed as required by Rule 2.05.6(6)(0(iii)(C) to detect the <br />commencement and magnitude of subsidence. <br />My final comment is related to the requirements of Rule 4.20.2 [Public Notice of the <br />mining schedule]. The applicant should ensure that owners of structures and property <br />are notified as required by the Rule. In particular, the owner(s) of the pipeline would be <br />of primary concern regarding notification requirements. <br />Other than the minor issues as stated above, I have no other issues with the operator's <br />proposal. It appears that subsidence, as proposed, will have minimal or no impacts to <br />structures or renewable resource lands for the West Mine Expansion. <br />Let me know if you have any questions.
