Minerals Company, LLC, Coal Ridge No. 1 Mine <br />Minor Revision Application, MR -26 <br />Midterm Permit Review No. 7 <br />Permit No. C- 1984 -065 <br />Dear Ms. Burgmaier: <br />The DRMS' letter dated April 15, 2014 transmitted its midterm review document for the Coal <br />Ridge No. 1 Mine. On behalf of C.B. Minerals Company, LLC, CB, enclosed is an application for a <br />minor revision to address the DRMS' comments and concerns. <br />1. DRMS states reclamation of the sediment control structures must be completed by <br />September 30, 2014 based on DRMS guidelines and Rule 4.05.3(6). Rule 4.05.3(6) <br />apparently has an incorrect reference. The second to the last sentence in 4.05.3(6) <br />states "Removal of any sedimentation pond will be accomplished in accordance with <br />4.05.6(12) ". There is no rule 4.05.6(12). <br />In any case, CB requests a one year extension for the reclamation of the sediment control <br />structures. CB was caught off -guard by this request. CB budgets funds for the Coal <br />Ridge No. 1 Mine at the end of each year. DRMS has been lenient regarding pond <br />reclamation for over ten years so pond reclamation was not included in the 2014 budget. <br />It seems DRMS could give CB one additional year so funds can be budgeted and the <br />project properly planned. <br />2. Regarding Section 2.2, enclosed are amended pages 2 -3, 2 -5, 2 -8, 2 -9 and Figure 2.1 -1. <br />It should be noted DRMS' image document system was not updated with the Section 2.2 <br />page revisions approved by the 2011 permit renewal. <br />Sincerely, <br />J. E. Stover, P. E. <br />Consulting Engineer <br />
