According to Mr.Mason,it <br /> appears they are actively mining in areas that were planned to be mined in 2021 based on Map 03 in the Permit <br /> Application Package (PAP). NECC was producing coal at the time of the inspection. The raw coal stockpile and <br /> the clean coal stockpile were active at the time of the inspection. NECC is considering revising their five year <br /> mine plan and several maps were hanging in the mine office with conceptual plans for future mining. NECC will <br /> need to revise their mine plan if their adopted plan is different than what is currently approved. <br /> PROCESSING WASTE/COAL MINE WASTE PILES—Rule 4.10 and 4.11 <br /> Drainage Control; Surface Stabilization; Placement: <br /> The Refuse Disposal Area(RDA)was observed.
