RULE 2 - PERMITS <br />Replacement Water Well - A new domestic water well will be required to accommodate the new <br />bath house and existing office facilities. The new well would replace the existing well with a new <br />pump and chlorination system. PSCM proposes to drill a test hole (775'x 5 5/8 ") approximately 100' <br />west of the existing well to check for a viable source of water. If a viable source is not found the hole <br />will be backfilled and another nearby location will be drilled. PSCM will not drill another hole until <br />an application for an additional MR is submitted and approved by the CDRMS in accordance with <br />Rules 2.02.2(2)(g) and 3.05.2. <br />Mud pits will be constructed adjacent to the drilling. Generally two pits are required, with typical pit <br />dimensions of 10 feet x 5 feet and 6 feet deep. Materials excavated from the pits will be stockpiled <br />on the margins of the pad area and used to backfill the pits after the drilling is completed. The hole <br />will be drilled using foam. Water for drilling will be obtained from the nearby Wadge Pond (Pond <br />2). Any water produced from the hole will be contained within the pits. <br />Support equipment will include, but not be limited to, a water truck, pipe truck and/or pipe trailer, <br />rig -up truck, air compressor, core trailer, and two or three 4 x 4 pickups for the drill -crew and <br />company representatives. For each drillhole, a short section (typically 40 -60 feet) of threaded surface <br />casing will be set to stabilize unconsolidated surface materials. <br />Replacement Power Poles and Installation of Fiber Optics Line - There is an existing 4,160 V <br />line running from the YVEA substation to the Sage Creek Office facilities. The condition of the <br />poles and associated power infrastructure is poor and unable to accommodate needed fiber -optic <br />lines. PSMC proposes to replace the poles and line moving them slightly east and away from their <br />current location along Little Grassy Creek. The line would instead run along the haul road (Map <br />2.05.3 MIA and B Mine Facilities Maps — South End and North End). New fiber -optic lines would <br />also be installed on these poles along the new route. The existing poles would be removed. In <br />addition, a new line will be installed to convey 69 kV from the YVEA substation to the new portal <br />substation. <br />The southern portal area and related surface facilities are located in the W' /Z of Section 2 and the E%Z <br />of Section 3, T6N, R87W, and in the W' /Z of Section 35 and the E' /2 of Section 34, TSN, R87W <br />adjacent to Little Grassy Creek. All facilities have been located to maintain a minimum buffer zone <br />of 100 feet between the facilities disturbance limits and Little Grassy Creek. An oval pit will be <br />excavated to expose the Wadge Coal Seam, develop a face -up area, and provide access to the coal <br />seam and mine portals. The perimeter of the face -up will be marked with signs warning persons <br />entering the area that blasting may occur. Warning signs will comply with applicable provisions of <br />Rule 4.02, and will be maintained so long as the associated dangers exist. Four portals and main <br />entries will be established for mine access: <br />• Intake Air <br />• Men and Material Access (temporary belt for initial development) <br />• Belt -Entry <br />• Return Air (main exhausting fan) <br />MR -07 2.05 -1 la Revision 02/12 <br />
