As mines become inactive, bond releases are approved and permit area <br /> boundaries are reduced, it becomes even more important to track permit acreage accurately. <br /> • In permit section 2.04.3, proposed page 2.04.3-5, the first paragaph under heading "4.0 <br /> Description of Pre-Mine Land Use Areas", the third and fourth sentences state," The entire permit <br /> area is 634.27 acres. Of this total, 565.67 acres will be disturbed." <br /> • Upon the approval of TR94, the correct permit aceage will be 535.65 acres. (Table 2.04.3-1 and <br /> Table 2.04.3-2). Since the revised permit acreage will be less than the total disturbed acreage, <br /> perhaps the best way to keep these values in agreement would be to add a sentence explaining that <br /> prior to bond releases and permit boundary reductions the permit was 634.27 acres, and after <br /> approved bond releases and approved permit boundary reductions, the permit encompasses 535.65 <br /> acres (TR95). Keeping the referenced agreages consistent throughout the permit avoids problems <br /> as the permit continues to achieve bond releases in the future. <br /> Please make the correction to pagae 2.04.3-5. <br /> Please let me know if you have any questions or clarifications.
