RE: Preapplic lion M ng - Storm King Mines
A meeting was held Friday, November 18, 1983, in your absence, between Sam
Arnst, Vice President of Storm King 14ines, representatives of various
consultants for the applicant, and Brian Munson and myself, representing the
Division. This meeting was requested by Mr. Arnst.
The stated purpose of this meeting was to inform the Division of the status of
design work pertaining to the proposed coal waste disposal facility at the
Storm King underground coal mine. Storm King Mines is applying to the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management for approval to construct a coal slurry-type waste
disposal facility on U.S. BLM land adjoining the company's underground fee
coal mine proposed west of Gle maood Springs. The projected facility would
accommodate approximately 25 million cubic yards of coal mining refuse during
its 25-year projected life.
The applicant has several consultants participating in design tasks for the
proposed disposal facility. Dravo and Gibbs Hill are the main permitting
consultants for the project. Chen and Associates, Inc., geotechnical
consultants, are performing geotechnical testing and site evaluation in
connection with the specific design of the disposal structure. The fill's
geotechnical testing and design projections are scheduled to be completed by
Chen and Associates during the month of December.
The applicant presented a copy of a document entitled, "Land Use Proposal for
Leasing Public Lands" to the Division for our information. That document
comprises the necessary supporting documentation for the company's U.S. Bureau
of Land Management application for approval of the necessary lease for the
lands on which the waste disposal structure would be constructed. That
document is conceptual in nature, presenting a brief siting summary for the
proposed structure. Several references are made within the document to the
necessity of obtaining appropriate Mined Land Reclamation Division permits
prior to construction of the structure.
