The Division believes that <br />these inconsistencies are simple oversights, and may be easily corrected. Please find the <br />Division `s summary and review. Four items were identified as needing correction or <br />additional discussion. These items are described following the summary. <br />Permit Acreage: 2318.30 acres <br />Disturbed acreage: 1019.0 acres <br />SCC reports total disturbance: 848.6 acres <br />Total acres backfilled and graded: 842.5acres (2013) <br />Acres topsoiled: 845 acres (2.5 acres topsoiled but not graded ?) <br />Acres seeded: 852.Oacres <br />Acreage in long -term facilities: 4.9 <br />The Division database has tracked 1019.0 acres of approved proposed disturbed area associated <br />with the Yoast mine. The 2013 ARR, SCC reported the actual disturbed acreage was 848.6 <br />acres.
