The changes are also resubmitted with this submittal. #12 Section 2.05.3(4) pages 33 & 34 have been revised to be consistent with current operations and provided a brief native of the events encountered during reopening the Allen mine in 2009-10 and the resealing of the mine in 2013. # 14 The non -coal waste disposal area shown on Map 21 has been reclaimed and Phase I bond released. This map was retained in the permit at the request of DRMS as it is still a partially bonded facility. New Elk believes that the use of portable dumpsters with transport to appropriately permitted off-site waste disposal sites and recycling centers provides a more acceptable method of handling these wastes than an on-site disposal area. As these dumpsters are temporary and portable, they can be relocated within the disturbance areas to be most efficiently utilized to accumulate these wastes. Surface run-off is controlled and handled in accord with the sediment control plan. The area in question on Map 21 has been re -permitted as a pond sediment drying area for sediment recovered from sediment ponds during cleanout and prior to transport to a permanent waste disposal area. This use has not been bonded and will not be implemented until the appropriate bond is submitted and accepted by DRMS. This is noted on Map 14. #15 New Elk respectfully suggests that the boreholes, wells and shafts have been properly designed and permitted. Further action is unnecessary at this
