Apr 1716 12:02p <br />equal to fulfill the obligations of the State and the Operator to the Landowner <br />Also, there's the 300 feet perimeter that is the safety zone that was farmed prior to <br />mining and a contiguous part of the farm that would not be able to be farmed because of <br />the prior existing reclaimed haul road that would have another ten year bond libility that <br />runs right next to it. So, that would be additional acreage that the farmer would not be <br />getting back because it would not be contiguous and it also could not be used until that <br />reclaimed area was released. <br />A big lesson in life whether you are in a judicial position, politcal position, governmental <br />position, industrial position, or just a little farmer, you learn from your mistakes, This <br />has always been a learning experience treading new territories and new aspects of rules <br />and regulations which never had to be scrutinized prior to mining small individual farms <br />and farms containing prime farmlands. Farming in itself is a scientific experiment and <br />the results of trial and error. Nothing in life is an exact science. Since the State, <br />operator, or an individual cannot re-enter, re -open, or revisit prior permitting, the goal <br />should be to understand and learn from the mistakes that have been made and move <br />forward in a positive way to ensure the rules and regulations are being met, but at the <br />same time make the adjustments and corrections needed to do the right thing without <br />breaking these laws before it's too late. <br />Thank you Brock and Western Fuels for what you are doing and the value of this <br />working relationship can never be expressed enough. <br />Thank you for your time, 1 <br />ii1len Turner <br />64 Olt) <br />1 A�vnff+�/NAI <br />`Y r <br />E <br />
