• Burning Coal. Historically, Sunbelt has not experienced any problems <br />with burning or smoldering coal; however, all coal storage areas will <br />continue to be routinely inspected. If any coal is found burning or <br />smoldering, it will be separated and extinguished by burying it or <br />smothering it. <br />Fish and Wildlife Plan <br />The description of the wildlife resources in the permit and adjacent <br />areas is reported in Section 2.04.11. <br />Because of the previous underground mining and agricultural activities <br />in the area, the wildlife populations found in the area of planned <br />surface operations and facilities are extremely low. Nonetheless, <br />impacts on the wildlife resources identified within this area will be <br />minimized by implementing the operational and subsequent reclamation <br />plan in such a way as to avoid further disturbance to habitats either <br />• within the permit or adjacent areas. Where surface disturbance has <br />occurred, mitigation measures such as proper location and adequate <br />sediment control are called for by the operational plan. In all <br />instances, disturbances will be limited for areas needed for the actual <br />surface facilities, storage of coal, storage of topsoil, with the <br />commitment that all disturbed lands will be reclaimed as soon as <br />possible after mining activities to restore the necessary environmental <br />balances. <br />The following paragraphs discuss the impacts of various operations on <br />wildlife resources and related environmental values, explains how <br />disturbances and impacts will be avoided or minimized and states how the <br />enhancement of such resources will be achieved. <br /> <br />2.05-41 <br />
