reclaimed), and the loadout/railroad fill outslopes. Details can be found in the approved permit <br />application, Volumes 8 and 8A. <br />Alternative design criteria and specifications have been approved for use in sediment pond <br />design and /or construction. This decision is based on a thorough analytical demonstration by a <br />qualified professional engineer that the resulting sediment pond will be environmentally sound <br />and structurally stable, taking into consideration physical, climatological, and other <br />characteristics of the site (4.05.6(11)). <br />Acid - Forming and Toxic - Forming Spoil <br />No acid - forming or toxic - forming materials have been identified at the Bowie No. 1 Mine. <br />Impoundments <br />All site impoundments are in compliance with Rule 4.05.9. Refer to Section III, C, above. <br />Surface and Ground Water Monitoring <br />The applicant will conduct monitoring of ground water in a manner approved by the Division. <br />The ground water monitoring plan is found in the approved permit application, Volume IA, <br />Section 2.05.6, and Volume 8. <br />The applicant will conduct monitoring of surface water in a manner approved by the Division. <br />The monitoring plan is found in the approved permit application, Volume IA, Section 2.05.6, <br />and Volumes 8 and 8A. <br />Transfer of Wells <br />The transfer to the Bowie No. 2 Mine of four exploration wells and portions of their associated <br />access roads, along with their reclamation liability, was approved in Permit Revision No. 4. The <br />four exploration wells are BRL- 1- 03 -01, BRL- 1 -08 -1, BRL- 1 -08 -04 and 2010 -2. <br />Discharge of Water into an Underground Mine <br />Discharge of water into underground workings will not occur. <br />Stream Buffer Zones <br />No disturbance is anticipated within 100 feet of a stream with a biological community. <br />Probable Hydrologic Consequences <br />Grnnnrl Water <br />The Bowie No. 1 Mine has the potential to affect ground waters in three ways - degradation of <br />water quality, mine consumption of water, and dewatering of insignificant bedrock aquifers. <br />Each of these cases will be discussed in detail in the following paragraphs. <br />Page 23 of 42 <br />
