3 -4 <br />d(ii) The area of the McClane Canyon watershed is approximately 483 acres. <br />That portion of the permit area which will not be reclaimed to AOC is <br />approximately 2 acres or 0.41 % of the total. Since the disturbance is so <br />small relative to the total area involved, no effect to the total volume of <br />flows is anticipated. <br />(d)(iii) It is assumed that DRMS is the only agency that will review the plan. If <br />however, additional agencies become involved, there should be no <br />objections to the plan because there are really no other environmentally <br />sound ways to reclaim the area. <br />(e) The mine site is located on Federal Coal Lease # C- 0125439. The US <br />Bureau of Land Management, Grand Junction Resource Area has <br />reviewed the plans for reclamation of the mine site and have requested <br />that the Operator be allowed to reclaim the area as shown on the plans. <br />The letter of request is contained in Appendix K. <br />(f) Responses to all requirements of 4.27.4 are detailed below. <br />(g) The Operator will comply with all requirements of the Act, the regulatory <br />program and the rules of the Division, including but not limited to 2.06.5 <br />and 4.27.4. <br />RULE 4.27.4 <br />(1) No highwall remnant is proposed. Cliffs above the portals existed prior to <br />mining were not disturbed except to scale unstable portions for safety <br />reasons. Demonstrations that postmining slope stability will exceed a <br />safety factor of 1.3 are contained earlier in this section. <br />(2) As demonstrated earlier in this section, hydrologic impact will be minimal. <br />MR -50 M`- Volume 1 (Rev 04/14) <br />
