7 Mr. Ed Bischoff Mined Land Reclamation Division July 29, 1980 Page 2 Minimal sediment control was also mentioned. Temporary measures need to be included in my re- sponse to the issues. In response to the items listed above we submit the following: It is not my intention to negate the require- ments of the proposed regulations however, during this interim period it does not seem wholly logical to pursue compliance with those regulations. Granted, eventual compliance will be mandatory. Chimney Rock Coal is actively pursuing such compliance as well. More specifically however, there will not be a change in the permitted acreage; the con- struction of such facilities will be inci- dental to the mining and reclamation plan, and will have no bearing on the final outcome of such plans. One may consider this an incidental permit boundary revision, the area of which will be included in the new permit to be submitted on October 31, 1980. Pursuing that rationale, and in accordance with the existing regulations, it was agreed that the item would be presented to the Mined Land Reclamation Board at its July board meeting as a technical revision. I believe it is important to stress the logistics involved in pursuing compliance with the proposed regulations during this interim period. The extent of detailed infor- mation required by 9.03.1 Performance Standards For Roads essentially removes this turnaround from consideration as a technical revision to that of an amendment. The detailed information required by this part will be presented in the new permit application to be submitted as aforementioned. There is a bit of confusion on my part as to the exact information the Division is requesting at this time. We need to discuss this in greater detail.
