Jerry M. Nettleton <br />Page 10 <br />June 11, 2014 <br />ii. This revised section indicates the No. 9 portal and the No. 5 portal areas have <br />been reclaimed, however the volumes to be backfilled for these areas reported on <br />revised Table 63 have not changed from the currently approved Table. It does <br />not appear these volume account for the reclamation that occurred. Please clarify <br />this discrepancy and make the appropriate revisions to Table 63. <br />16 Permit page 2.05 -29 includes a discussion of the "No. 9 Coal Refuse Disposal Site ". This section <br />describes the design, construction, maintenance and reclamation of the No. 9 Mine refuse pile. The <br />Mine No. 9 Portal refuse pile was reclaimed in the summer of 2009. Please update the No. 9 Coal <br />Refuse Disposal Site section of the permit on page 2.05 -29 to include a discussion of the <br />reclamation of the refuse pile. Please leave the design, construction and maintenance portions in <br />the section for historic purposes but the reclamation portion of the section will need to be updated <br />with the actual reclamation that was completed on the Mine No. 9 Portal refuse pile. <br />a. Response: This comment essentially duplicates the previous Comment 11. Please refer <br />to the response to Comment 11. <br />b. DRMS Response: This item is resolved. <br />17. Permit page 2.05 -29 contains a section titled "Solid Waste Disposal Facility ". This section details <br />the recently permitted solid waste disposal facility that was used for demolition debris during the <br />reclamation conducted in 2008 (TR -34). During the 2008 reclamation a hole was dug for the <br />demolition debris. After the demolition was completed, MCM covered the hole, replaced topsoil and <br />seeded the disturbance. Since that time, MCM has dug another small dozer slot in the solid waste <br />disposal area for the ongoing disposal of mine - related waste materials. While the Division believes <br />that this dozer slot is within the scope of the permitted solid waste disposal facility, there is no <br />mention, specifically, of this practice. Please amend the text on permit page 2.05 -29 which relates <br />to the Solid Waste Disposal Facility. Please include a description of the dozer slot(s) that is <br />currently being used for the disposal of mine - related materials. Please include a reclamation plan <br />for the dozer slot and any subsequent dozer slots that MCM digs. Please also include a list of the <br />types of materials that MCMwill be placing in the dozer slot. <br />a. MCM Response: The specific Permit text discussion addressing the Solid Waste <br />Disposal Facility has been reviewed and revised to include information on ongoing use <br />and reclamation relative to the referenced dozer slot. Copies of the revised Permit <br />discussion accompany these responses for replacement in the PAP. <br />b. DRMS Response: This item is resolved. <br />18. Permit page 2.05 -31 contains a discussion of the "No. 5 and No. 6 Mine -Water Handling System". <br />Please review the information contained in this section for completeness and accuracy since MCM <br />is replacing the Mine No. 5 dewatering pump. <br />a. MCM Response: This comment is similar to the previous Comment 5. Please refer to <br />the response to Comment 5. <br />b. DRMS Response: This item is resolved. <br />
