<br />- ,ARCO Coal Company July 7, 1981 Page 2 <br />Ute Engineering, is at this time, requesting permission from <br />ARCO to use the ARCO Permit Application as a reference source <br />of information for Che Sear Mine Permit Application. <br />All information referenced in the Bear Mine Permit Application <br />will be identified by the page, table number, map number, etc., <br />on which this information appears in the ARCO Permit Application. <br />ARCO will be stated as the source of information. <br />We would appreciate that you respond, affirmatively, to this <br />request in the form of a letter as soon as possible. <br />In reference to the location of ARCO's surface facilities, it was <br />noted that ARCO plans to install a freshwater pond at some future <br />date within the area presently occupied by the Bear Mine surface <br />facilities. The Division has requested that Bear provide details <br />regarding the exact location and size of the pond, and the proposed <br />construction date. Could ARCO furnish UTE with this information? <br />Since the freshwater pond will be located on land to be reclaimed <br />by Bear, we are requesting that ARCO also provide us with information <br />as to the type of reclamation that Bear must provide at this site. <br />That is, must the area of the freshwater pond be reclaimed to <br />original contours and revegetated with a permanent seedmix or will <br />removal of the structures and preliminary grading be sufficient? <br />The subsidence monitoring program for the Beat Mine was discussed <br />with Jim Pendleton of the MLR Board. Details of the conversation <br />are in the enclosed letter to Pendleton dated June 12, 1981. We <br />are also enclosing a map shocaing the location of Bear's subsidence <br />monitoring monuments. <br />Ute Engineering is requesting that ARCO compare the location of the <br />subsidence monitoring monuments with the proposed locations of <br />ARCO's surface facilities. <br />We also need to know the completion date and filing information, depth <br />of well and water level in the new well drilled by ARCO on the Bear <br />surface. <br />The final request we have £or ARCO, at this time, is a copy of <br />ARCO's comments concerning the post-mining land use. Hear is <br />planning on reclaiming the land to a wildlife and rangeland habitat. <br />If this post-mining land use is agreeable to ARCO, we are requesting <br />that ARCO respond, in the form of a letter. If the post-mining land <br />use is not agreeable, we are requesting your comments. <br />We realize that we are requesting quite a bit of information from <br />ARCO. ARCO's assistance in this matter will facilitate the approval <br />of Bear's Permit Application. <br />
