Impoundments <br />A dugout pond exists on the site as a permanent impoundment. Permanent Sediment Pond 2 has <br />been approved as a permanent impoundment. Both the dugout pond and Permanent Sediment <br />Pond 2 have been approved as permanent in accordance with Rule 4.05.9(13). The sanitary <br />sewage treatment lagoon is an integral part of the sanitary sewage treatment system. The <br />treatment lagoon is to be removed under final reclamation. <br />Transfer of Wells <br />No transfer of wells is proposed in the Application [Rule 4.05.14 (2)]. <br />Discharge of Water into an Underground Mine <br />There is no discharge of water into an underground mine at the site [Rule 4.05.16(2)]. <br />Stream Buffer Zones <br />There are no, and there is no requirement for, stream buffer zones on the site [Rule 4.05.18(1)]. <br />Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />Probable hydrologic consequences are presented in the Water Resources and Impact Evaluation <br />Report, Appendix I of the PAP, as well as the Annual Hydrology Reports. It is the Division's <br />opinion that mining and reclamation activities at the Keenesburg Strip Mine have had no <br />appreciable effect on the hydrologic balance of the area, and future activities will not <br />significantly impact the hydrologic balance. <br />VI. Rule 4.06 Topsoil <br />17 <br />The mine operated in compliance with the general requirements (Rule 4.06.1), removal (Rule <br />4.06.2), and storage (Rule 4.06.3) of topsoil. No additional stripping operations of undisturbed <br />topsand (topsoil) are anticipated. CEC proposes to continue reclamation activities in compliance <br />with redistribution requirements [Rule 4.06.4]. <br />VII. Rule 4.07 Sealing of Drilled Holes and Underground Openings <br />All former drill holes at the mine site have been changed to ground water monitoring sites, mined <br />through, or permanently plugged. CEC plans to continue to comply with the requirement of Rule <br />4.07 in regards to the sealing of drilled holes. <br />
