~J <br /> <br />would be necessary to cross the Denver and Rio Grande <br />Western railroad tract and Fish Creek for coal hauling to <br />the existing tipple in the NE1/4NE1/4 sec, 2, T, 5 N., <br />R, 86 W. Such construction would comply with all laws and <br />regulations. <br />It is anticipated that the mine operation would begin in <br />1980 and terminate in 1983, A preliminary sequence as <br />presented by Energy Fuels is attached as Figure 3. <br />The following tabulation is a summary of past and projected <br />coal production from Energy Mine No. 1, 2, 3 for the years <br />1972 through 1986, The total production projected from 1978 <br />through 1986 reflects the actual production from all three <br />mines in the absence of additional federal coal leasing. In <br />the event that Energy Fuels obtains the three coal lease <br />applications, they would maintain their 1977 production rate <br />of approximately 4 million tons per year through 1986, with <br />no anticiapted drastic increases. As indicated in the last <br />column of the simmmary, should the coal lease applications <br />not be obtained', Energy Fuels predicts deficiency on <br />commitments of 19,035,000 tons from 1978 through 1986. <br />II. Description of the Existing Environment <br />A. Apo raphv <br />The topography of coal lease applications C-22644 and <br />C-26913 will be considered together as both parcels are <br />26 <br />
