Lamm <br />Governor <br />February 8, 1984 <br />Mr, J. Michael Walker <br />Northern Coal Company <br />2223 Dodge Street <br />Omaha, Nebraska 68102 <br />RE: Meeker Area Mines Permit Application - File No. C-032-81 <br />Dear Mr. Walker: <br />The Division has commenced an adequacy review for the Meeker Area Mines, and <br />it is our objective to issue a proposed decision within the next few months. <br />We have some major questions regarding exactly what Northern is proposing to <br />permit at this time, however, <br />The attached letter and information within the September, 1982 revised <br />application indicates that approval of operations and reclamation at the <br />Rienau No. 2, Northern No. 1, Wilson-Loudy Loadout and the refuse disposal <br />area would be requested for the 5-year permit term. However, since that time, <br />Hank Coufos, Mine Superintendent has indicated that Northern no longer <br />proposes mining at the Northern No. I and plans to reclaim the site in the <br />very near future. The 4lilson-Loudy Loadout is presently being reclaimed. The <br />proposed future use of the refuse disposal area is not clear. <br />We are requesting that you review the attached letter and advise us as to <br />whether or not it reflects the current situation. Specificially, we need to <br />know whether Northern is requesting operational or reclamation only permit <br />approval for the four affected areas. <br />Your timely response will be appreciated. <br />Sincerely, <br />,, ~ ,~~//{/~T-- <br />_ I /v/ 'JS ~ <br />Dan T.
