<br />Re: Twentymile Coal, LLC (TC) - Foidel Creek Mine (C -82 -056), 2013 Annual Reclamation Report
<br />Dear Mr. Musick:
<br />Enclosed are duplicate copies of the 2013 Annual Reclamation Report (ARR) for the Foidel Creek Mine.
<br />During 2013, a number of permitted activities occurred under Permit, Technical, and Minor Revision approvals
<br />(summarized as follows), with most of the permitted activities occurring within existing disturbance areas (no
<br />change in acreage unless otherwise noted):
<br />Permit Renewal RN06 (submitted 11/14/12, approved 10/08/13,+30 acres disturbed - CRDA Expansion))
<br />PR12 -09, WMD Panel Extension (submitted 07/31/12, withdrawn 06/11/13)
<br />TR12 -81, CRDA Ditch Modifications (submitted 12/17/12, approved 07/29/13)
<br />TR13 -82, WMD Panel Extension (submitted 02/28/13, approved 03/14/13, +160 acres Permit Area, +330
<br />acres Affected)
<br />MR13 -266, WMD Cultural Resource Survey (submitted 06/11/13, approved 06/17/13)
<br />MR13 -267, EMD Monitoring Boreholes (submitted 09/24/13, approved 10/17/13, +1.2 acres Disturbed)
<br />MR13 -268, Portal Waste Transfer Station Expansion (submitted 10/23/13, approved 10/30/13)
<br />MR13 -269, TRO Coreholes (submitted 11/05/13, approved 12/30/13, +1.3 acres Disturbed)
<br />MR13 -270, 7RT TUF Borehole (submitted 11/12/13, approved 12/13/13, +1.75 Acres Permitted/Not
<br />Disturbed)
<br />MR13 -271, EMD Drilling Road Modifications (submitted 11/21/13, approved 11/22/13)
<br />MR13 -273, 2MN TUF Borehole (submitted 12/06/13, approved 12/30/13, +0.6 acres Disturbed)
<br />NOI 2012 - 205 -12, WMD Seismic Program (approved 01/15/13)
<br />Changes in permitted disturbed and affected area acreages during 2013 included increases in the permit area of
<br />560 acres (PR12 -09, withdrawn) and 160 acres (TR13 -82); and permitted disturbed and affected acreage of
<br />364.8 acres (RN -06, TR13 -82, and MR's 13 -267, 13 -269, 13 -270, and 13 -273). It should be noted that the
<br />incremental permit, affected, and disturbance areas associated with TR13 -82, and MR13 -270 will probably
<br />never be impacted, as these revisions, while approved, will probably not be implemented. TR13 -82 increased
<br />the Permit Area by 160 acres to 20,100 acres. Additional permitted surface disturbance during 2013 resulted in
<br />a cumulative total for permitted surface disturbance of approximately 664.1 acres. Please refer to the revised
<br />maps and text associated with the revisions referenced above, for specific details.
