<br />2.05.3(2) Operation Description - Permit Area <br />Underground coal mining operations began in the permit area in 1899 and have <br />run intermittently until the present time. Operations using current mining methods <br />began in 1974. From 1974 to 2022, approximately 242 acres of surface lands were <br />disturbed in conjunction with mining operations. No disturbance of additional surface <br />lands during the life of the permit is planned. Exhibits 6A through 11A, 13C, 51 and <br />52, Tab Section 13, and Figure 14-17, Tab Section 14 shows the location of each <br />disturbed, or approved disturbed, surface area and Table 13-1 describes the buildings <br />and structures in each area. In the period from 1974 through 1999, a total of 3,523 <br />acres were affected in conjunction with underground mining activities. Table 12-1 <br />presents areas disturbed to date. Table 12-2 presents the acres affected by the North <br />and South Portal workings through 1999. The underground mining sequence and <br />aerial extent of affected lands is depicted in Exhibit 5 and Appendix 12-2. A <br />significant portion of the above described affected acres have been released by SL-3 <br />through SL-11 from 2008 through 2020, leaving a total of 0.4 acres affected within the <br />permit boundary. The new permit acres are presented in Table 3-7. <br />Mining ceased at the Roadside Portals on December 2, 1999. The North Mine <br />was sealed during January and February 2000. The Roadside South Mine was sealed <br />during April 2000. <br />C-SEAM EXPLORATION <br />In September 1999, all C-Seam coal production was halted after a decision to <br />suspend the operations of the mine was made. Better quality coal and better mining <br />conditions found in the Cameo B Seam retreating section allowed the operator to mine <br />coal at the most efficient levels during the months leading up to the suspension. <br />The following is a summary of the rationale for mining the C-Seam, the <br />conditions found while mining and the mechanism employed in the mining of the C- <br />Seam. <br /> <br />RN-08 12-3 Rev 09/22
