• 2.06 REQUIREMENTS FOR PERMITS FOR SPECIAL CATEGORIES <br />2.06.1 Scoue <br />This Section establishes minimum requirements for permits for the special categories of <br />surface coal mining and operations which are in addition to the applicable permit application <br />requirements and procedures of Rule 2. <br />The special categories are as follows: (1) Experimental Practices Mining; (2) Mountaintop <br />Removal Mining; (3) Steep Slope Mining; (4) Variances from Approximate Original Contour <br />Restoration Requirements for Steep Slope Mining, (~) Prime Farmlands; (6) Variances for <br />Delay in Contemporaneous Reclamation Requirement in Combined Surface and <br />Underground operations; (7) Mining of Alluvial Valley Floors; (8) Augering; (9) Coal <br />Processing or Support Facilities Not Located Within the Permit Area of a Specified Mine; <br />and (IO) In-Situ Processing Activities. <br />2.06.2 Exnerimental Practices Minine <br />On March 3, 1986, Colowyo submitted a Technical Revision to the Division to request a <br />change in the status of the Streeter Fill from that of an Experimental Practice to that of a <br />Standard Practice satisfying the MLRD regulations in Section 4.09, Disposal of Excess Spoil <br />and Underground Waste. The Division granted the request on August 28, 1986: For further <br />details concerning this request, refer to Exhibit 12, Experimental Practices Information. <br />From an historical perspective the discussion of Streeter Fill will remain in Section 2.06 <br />virtually unchanged. The reader should be fully aware that the status of the Streeter Fill is no <br />longer that of an experimental practice, but rather that of an excess spoil pile built under the <br />alternative design standards of Section 4.09. <br />In December, 1993 Colowyo requested a modification to the Streeter Fill monitoring <br />requirements. See Section 4.09 for a discussion of these changes. The following discussion <br />addresses only historic permit requirements. <br /> <br />2.06-1 Revision Date: 12/93 <br />Revision No.: TR-26 <br />
