If auger, punch or other highwall types of mining systems are to be considered in the <br />future, a Ground Control Plan amendment will be required. Planning for any highwall <br />mining system should include, but is not limited to: highwall stability, coal web <br />thickness between openings, opening dimensions, barrier pillar design, seam thickness, <br />safety factors, calculations necessary to ensure prudent mining design, and operational <br />safeguards. <br />If you have any questions regarding the filing of this plan, please contact Ron Gehrke at <br />303-231-5587, or Matt Lemons at 303-231-5570. <br />Sincerely, <br />Russell J. Riley <br />District Manager <br />Enclosure <br />
