physical ability to implement said plan. A source of replacement water may include, but is not limited to, the transfer of water rights, an augmentation plan, a long term water use lease, or compensatory storage. 12) Fueling and lubricating vehicles are prohibited within 100 feet of streams and wetlands. No fuel storage is allowed within 500 feet of any water bodies. Subsidence . 1 13) A pillar stability analysis shall be used to design chain and barrier pillars for long term structural integrity where needed to protect surface resources. Wetland, Floodplain or Riparian 14) No surface occupancy or use is allowed on the lands defined as a wetland, floodpiain or riparian area. Forest Service Surface Improvements 15) Existing Forest Service owned or permitted surface improvements will need to be protected, restored or replaced to provide for continuance of current land uses. Dust Control 18) Lessee shall provide for the suppression and control of fugitive dust on roads used by the lessee. Surface Resources 17) Lessee shall be required to perform a study to secure adequate baseline data to quantify existing surface resources on and adjacent to the lease area. Existing data may be used if such data are adequate for the intended purposes. The study shall be adequate to locate, quantify and demonstrate the interrelationship of the geology, topography, surface hydrology, soils, vegetation and wildlife. Baseline data will be established so that future programs of observation can be incorporated at regular intervals for comparison. 18) Lessee shall be required to establish a monitoring system to locate, measure, and quantify the progressive and final effects of underground mining activities on the topographic surface, subsurface and surface hydrology, soils and vegetation. The monitoring system shall utilize techniques which will provide a continuing record of change over time and an analytical method for location and measurement of a number of points over the lease area.

Surface Occupancy (Roadless) 21) No surface occupancy is allowed for exploration, methane drainage, or ventilation and/or escape shafts in the modification area.
