The <br />work involved cutting a road around the toe o! the existing <br />stockpile eo that the hot coal could be removed and taken to a <br />storage area immediately south of the stockpile. During this <br />process a portion oP ditch 5-D1 was Pilled in and it will be <br />cleaned out as soon as the road is no longer required. Presently, <br />the ditch has seen minimal disturbance and can be repaired <br />immediately with the use of a backhoe. The amount of coal placed <br />in the ditch was lase than I described to you over the phone. I do <br />not believe that placing oP coal in the ditch will result in any <br />environmental problems. The loader did have to drive through a <br />portion of the ditch adjacent to the overland belt, and this area <br />will be dressed up within the next day or two. Straw bales will be <br />placed downstream of where the ditch was driven through to minimize <br />any impacts. I believe this will take care of any short term <br />concerns. <br />Empire anticipates that it may be necessary to use this road over <br />the next 30 days in the event additional hot spots may be <br />encountered. However, during the interim period when the road is <br />not needed, the ditch will be reestablished so that it can function <br />as designed. If additional hot coal is removed from the stockpile. <br />1t will be placed in the above referenced storage area. In the <br />event that additional room is needed the SAE to the south of the <br />stockpile will be utilized. Access to this site viii be gained by <br />bladinq a ramp down to it from the existing storage area. <br />Hopefully, this site will not be needed. <br />
