EXHIBIT 19 <br />• 1493 FLOOD CONTROL WORK <br />During 1984 the existing flood control dike was constructed. The <br />dike is shown on drawing 19-1. The south side of the east end of <br />the flood control dike was strengthened with approximately eight <br />coal cars during the same period of time. In anticipation of a <br />significant spring run-off, the east end of the flood control dike <br />will be further fortified during the spring of 1993. <br />The work planned for the spring of 1993 on the flood control dike <br />is to reinforce the coal cars which are located on the south side <br />of the dike. Rip rap will be placed on the north (river) side of <br />the cars. Pit run type material will be placed and compacted <br />between and over the coal cars. <br />Only "clean" pit run gravel will be used to backfill between and <br />over the coal cars. Rip rap will be sandstone obtained from the <br />excess rock encountered during the relocation of the railroad near <br />Somerset Mining Company's Sanborn Creek Mine. <br />The work necessary to reinforce the coal cars will not cause a <br />significant amount of disturbance. The area to be disturbed is <br />only about 300 feet long and 20 to 30 feet wide. The Operator will <br />diligently work to minimize the disturbance associated with this <br />• work with special attention given to minimizing the amount of <br />vegetation disturbed. <br />in order to place the gravel and rip rap near the coal cars, a <br />front end loader will travel over ditch "A" which is shown on <br />drawing 11-1. Page 11-5 shows that ditch "A" is designed to handle <br />14.61 cfs (drainage areas 1 - 6). Drainage area 6 does not <br />contribute flow to Ditch "A" where the loader will travel over it. <br />Therefore, the design flow for Ditch "A" where the loader will <br />travel over it is 9.95 cfs (14.61 - Area 6 flow = 4.66). A 24-inch <br />diameter culvert, which is capable of passing 12 cfs, will be <br />temporarily placed in Ditch "A" to provide necessary equipment <br />access to reinforce the coal cars as explained above. <br />• 3-29-93 <br />
