Storm King Mines Coal Ridge No. 1 Mine Permit Application Adequacy
Review Comments - File No. C-84-065
I have reviewed the Coal Ridge No. 1 permit application for compliance with
the Act and Rules and Regulations for the following sections: 2.03 Legal,
Financial, and Compliance Information; 2.04.4 Cultural and Historic Resources;
2.04.10 Vegetation Information; 2.05.4 Reclamation Plan; 4.13 Contemporaneous
Reclamation; 4.14 Backfilling and Grading; and 4.15 Revegetation. I have the
following comments and concerns which should be addressed by the applicant
during the course of permit application review.
Legal, Financial and Compliance Information -Rule 2.03
1. The applicant should compile a list of all names of persons and/or
organizations which collected and analyzed technical data. Additionally the
dates of collection and analyses and descriptions of the methodologies used to
collect and analyze the data should be provided. The applicant should also
compile a list of persons and their addresses and positions of each private or
academic research organization or governmental agency consulted in obtaining
information on land uses, soils, geology, vegetation, fish and wildlife, water
quantity and quality, air quality, and archeological cultural and historic
resources.
2. The applicant has provided a list of legal owners of record of the coal
to be mined, however, these owners of record have not been designated on an
appropriate subsurface ownership map. The applicant should submit such a map
to the Division.
3. The applicant should clarify whether applicant, partner, principle
shareholder or Storm King Mines has operated any surface coal mining operation
in the United States subsequent to 1970. The applicant should also state
whether Storm King Mines or any of the partners, shareholders, or applicants
have any permit applications pending for any surface coal mining operation in
the United States other than Coal Ridge No. 1. This information should be
listed by permit or application number and identify the regulatory authority
for each of those surface coal mining operations.
