<br />Preliminary Adequacy Review <br />Bear Coal Co., Inc. - Dear Mine <br />May 15, 1981 <br />2.03 Legal, Financial, Compliance Information <br />1. The name, address and position of each consultant used in obtaining information <br />relating to soils, geology, vegetation, and air and water quality must be provided. <br />2. The application form indicates that surface land ownership is federal, but, <br />on page 9 of the narrative, it is stated that u.5. Steel and ARCO are the surface <br />owners. This should be clarified. <br />3. The applicant should clarify the holders of record of leasehold interests. <br />The application currently states that surface owners are also leaseholders. <br />9. The applicant should specify ownership of coal contiguous to the coal to be <br />mined. Is it all federal coal? <br />5. It is stated on page 9 under 2.03.4(c) that there are no owners of record of <br />leasehold interests of the coal to be mined. The applicant should clarify that <br />the coal to be mined is under contract to the Atlantic Richfield Company. The <br />applicant should also provide verification that a contract has been obtained between <br />ARCO and Bear Coal Company. The extent of leased coal and the dates of termination <br />of the lease must be provided. <br />6. The applicant states on page 11 that Bear Coal Company has not operated a <br />surface coal mining operation in the previous five years. This is incorrect. Bear <br />is currently operating under existing permit N77-291. To clarify the meaning of <br />surface coal mining operations see Section 1.04 (132) of the Regulations. This <br />definition of surface coal mining operations includes those surface operations and <br />surface impacts incident to an underground coal mine. <br />7. The applicant must provide a revised list of the names of officers and directors <br />of ARCO, their titles and the divisions of Atlantic Richfield Company referenced on <br />pages 9 and 12. <br />8. The applicant should indicate the current status of violation 2 on page 15. <br />9. The applicant should provide information on the vertical extent of mine workings <br />as required by 2.03.8. Also, the operation plan map should indicate the annual pro- <br />gression of mine workings. <br />10. The applicant has stated that a new insurance certificate will be issued naming <br />the Division as the certificate holder and that the Division will be notified of <br />any changes in the policy. This new certificate must be received before permit <br />approval. <br />11. The applicant should discuss whether or not final approval has been given by <br />MSHA on the roof control plan. Also, it should be indicated whether Bear Coal Co. <br />holds valid NPDES and Air Quality Emissions permits. Copies of these permits should <br />be supplied. <br />
