2600 acres to a total area of over 4150 acres. PR-02 proposes additional <br />development and retreat mining in the Apache seam generally in Sections 24, 25, <br />26, 35, and 36 in T33S R68W of the 6t' P.M. Materials submitted were cross- <br />referenced as necessary, where those materials are specific to both revisions. <br />Adequacy issues for some of the TR-56 materials were identified but are more <br />appropriate to be addressed under PR-02 adequacy review. Those issues mainly <br />have to do with minor issues with regard to maps. Adequacy issues associated <br />with activities as proposed under TR-56 are as follows: <br />Rule 2.03 Legal, Financial, Compliance, and Related Information <br />1. Please provide the legal description of the TR-56 permit boundary as <br />required by Rule 2.03.6(1). <br />Rule 2.04 Information on Environmental Resources <br />2. Permit text narrative on pages 2.04-17 to 2.04-25 describe the groundwater <br />hydrology as required by Rule 2.04.7(1). Included in this section of text <br />narrative are brief statements with regard to the impacts due to mining. <br />While Rule 2.04.7(3) requires identification of the extent that the operation <br />may affect surface or underground sources of water put to beneficial use, <br />the detailed discussion of impacts should be quantified and summarized <br />under Rule 2.05.6(3), rather than included with the baseline hydrologic <br />information. Please also modify permit text on page 2.04-11 b indicating the <br />correct reference to the probable hydrologic consequences section (not <br />section 2.04.7). Permit text on 2.04-24 also identifies wells that could be <br />impacted. This type of information should be included and summarized in <br />the PHC section of the permit application. Rule 2.04.7(3) should focus <br />primarily on the alternative water supply available should contamination or <br />diminution occur and water rights owned or leased by the operation. Exhibit <br />8(4) is inadequate with regard to a summary of all hydrologic impacts that <br />are probable due to the proposed operations. Please review these pages <br />along with Exhibit 8(4) and include a detailed summary of the probable <br />hydrologic consequences-of mining to surface and ground water quantity <br />and quality. This summary should address the_probable; <br />• Impacts to groundwater quantity (both wells and springs) from subsidence; <br />• Impacts of mining to groundwater quality; <br />• Impacts of mine water inflow and subsequent discharge to surface water <br />quality; <br />• Impacts of subsidence to surface water quantity; and <br />• Impacts of mine water consumption to surface water users <br />3. What is the source of water for the residents where undermining in the ,Alen <br />seam will occur in the N1/2 of Section 24 T33S R68W? Please include this
