Mr. Steven Self Page 2 February 7, 1980 B. Surface Operations within 100 feet of Public Highway 1. The statement on Page II-91 that no surface coal mining is within 100 feet of the outside right-of-way of any public highway appears incorrect; the refuse pile is within Z00 feet. The requirements of 30 CFR 761.12 should be addressed. C. Surface Disturbance Area 1. The rock dust tank for the Eagle #9 mine has not been included in the surface disturbance area. 2. The ownership of the access road between the Eagle #9 mine and the shop area should be specified. If this road is public, maintenance responsibility should be identified. If parts of this road are private and/or Empire has responsibility for road maintenance, the applicable parts of the road should be included within the surface disturbed acreage. If the current access road to .the No. 2 mine is to be used as access to the Eagle #9A mine, this road must be included within the disturbed area. There is a discrepancy in lease boundaries between Map III-3 and Map IV-9. Specifically in the 2E-3R area. Map III-3 shows Federal coal to the south edge of the panel. Map IV-3 shows the south edge ~ of the Federal lease boundary 900 feet north. Please clarify. ' IZ. Part III -Environmental Resources Information A.
