A. The Division does not propose to approve a blasting area in excess of 300 acres <br />(4.08.3(2)(b)(i)). <br />B. The Division does not propose to approve blasting at times other than those <br />described in the blasting schedule (4.08.3(2)(b)(v) and 4.08.4(2)). <br />C. The applicant has not proposed to conduct blasting less than 1000 feet from a <br />school, church, hospital, or nursing facility, or less than 500 feet from disposal <br />wells, petroleum or gas storage facilities, municipal water - storage facilities, <br />fluid - transmission pipelines, gas or oil collection lines, or water or sewage lines <br />(4.08.4(7)). <br />D. The Division is not proposing to approve the use of a modified equation to <br />determine maximum weight of explosives per delay (4.08.6(2)). <br />VII. Disposal of Excess Spoil <br />This section does not apply to the Bowie No. 2 Mine permit application. All excess <br />material generated during surface construction or during underground mining is <br />considered to be coal mine waste, and such materials will be placed in the approved coal <br />mine waste bank. <br />VIII. Coal Mine Waste Banks <br />A. The Division approved plans for use, construction and maintenance of a coal mine <br />waste disposal area (4.10.1(1)). <br />B. The applicant has not submitted a plan for disposal, at the approved disposal area <br />within the permit boundary, of mine waste materials generated by activities <br />outside the permit boundary (4.10.1(2)). <br />C. The disposal area will be inspected on a regular basis by a qualified professional <br />engineer, experienced in construction of similar earth and waste structures <br />(4.10.2(1)). <br />D. An alternative subdrainage system for the coal mine waste area has not been <br />proposed. The Division finds that the approved subdrainage system should ensure <br />the applicable static safety factor, stability of the fill, and protection of the surface <br />and ground waters (4.10.3(5)). <br />E. The Division is not proposing to approve a variation in the requirements for <br />maximum allowable lift thickness and minimum required compaction <br />(4.10.4(3)(a)). <br />IX.
