permit boundary to reflect the same. Technical Revision <br /> No. 18, received 15 June 1994 and approved 23 June 1995, <br /> addressed the revised angle of draw, incidental boundary <br /> changes, Map revisions and lease right-of-entry <br /> provisions. With the submittal of TR18, this stipulation <br /> has been terminated. <br /> Technical Revision 24, approved on 8 April 1996, <br /> eliminated the requirement for monitoring the high- <br /> resolution (South) subsidence grid. <br /> XIII .Operations on Alluvial Valley Floors <br /> Field investigations and technical evaluations of all <br /> drainages within and adjacent to the permit area were <br /> conducted by the previous operator, Dorchester Coal, in <br /> conjunction with the original permit approval package. Copies <br /> of all correspondence and reports relative to the alluvial <br /> valley floor investigations conducted at the site are provided <br /> in Exhibit 24, "Alluvial Valley Floor Investigations" , of the <br /> permit application. The conclusions reached in these <br /> investigations are that no areas within the Southfield mine <br /> area qualify as alluvial valley floors, while one area at the <br /> Southfield coal loadout was determined to meet both the <br /> geomorphic and water availability criteria for designation as <br /> an alluvial valley floor. <br /> 1 . Therefore, the Division has determined that an alluvial <br /> valley floor exists within the affected or adjacent area <br /> of the loadout. Therefore, the following findings are in <br /> order for the alluvial valley floor known as the Oak <br /> Creek AVF, located adjacent to the loadout area. <br /> Upon review and investigation of the data submitted on <br /> the Oak Creek AVF, the Division finds that the activities <br /> proposed by the applicant will not interrupt, <br /> discontinue, or preclude farming on the alluvial valley <br /> floors that are irrigated or naturally subirrigated. <br /> (4 .24 . 3 (1) ) <br /> AND <br /> The proposed activities will not materially damage the <br /> quantity or quality of water in the surface or ground <br /> Southfield Mine Permit Renewal 03 <br /> 54 <br />
