<br />The mining of the tract xould be expected to begin in 1981 <br />xith a boxcut opened up by the Marion 204 28 yard bucket <br />capacity shovel, The cut xould begin at the eastern <br />boundary between the subject application and existing lease <br />C-081330, and proceed south-xesterly, Folloxing the boxcut, <br />subsequent strip pits would be accomplished xith a <br />Marion 8050 55-yard bucket capacity dragline. As the plan <br />is currently presented, portions of existing lease C-08133 <br />and the subject application xould be mined concurrently to <br />reduce excessive nonproductive equipment movement and repo- <br />sitioning. It is anticipated that mining xill commence in <br />1981 and terminate in 1985. Figure 2 shows the preliminary <br />mine sequence anticipated by Energy Fuels for coal lease <br />application C-26913. <br />Because coal lease application C-26913 would be a similar <br />expansion of Energy Pit 41 as lease application C-22644 <br />(xith the exception of substituting the Marion 8050 dragline <br />for the Marion 7400 and 770 dragline) it is anticipated that <br />the mining and reclamation procedures would be similar for <br />both parcels, No new facilities xould be required. The <br />reader is therefore referenced to the discussions of these <br />topics presented for application C-22644. <br />C. C-22676 <br />This 723.81 acre area, split into two parcels is adjacent to <br />22 <br />
