SOUTHWEST MINING DISTRICT <br />A portion of the area that could be affected by underground mining was surveyed in 1991 by Metcalf <br />Archeological Consultants, Inc. A copy of this report is contained in Exhibit VII, Confidential Information. <br />The remainder of the area requiring survey will be surveyed prior to longwall mining beneath the area. In order <br />to complete the remainder of the survey, landowner approval has to be secured, and it is anticipated this approval <br />will be forthcoming during 1992. <br />Seismic Survev <br />A limited seismic program will be conducted by Twentymile during the 4th quarter of 1995. A cultural resource <br />survey was conducted by Metcalf Archeological Consultants, Inc. for the proposed seismic lines. The survey <br />report is presented in Exhibit 6C, EMD Seismic Line Survey, and should be placed in the confidential volume. <br />EASTERN MINING DISTRICT <br />A portion of the Eastern Mining district has been surveyed and those records are available at the local Bureau of <br />Land Management office located in Craig, Colorado. The areas of new surface disturbance (i.e. new facilities) <br />will be surveyed as per the regulations. Once completed, this information will be forwarded to the Division. <br />Also, if areas that have not been surveyed are undermined and subsided and repair work is required, the area will <br />be surveyed prior to initiating the repair. The results of the survey will be forwarded to the Division and the <br />Division, through SHPO, can comment on the survey and advise if any additional mitigation is necessary. <br />Twentymile contracted Metcalf Archaeological Consultants, Inc. to conduct an investigation of site SR T18S. <br />The report for this investigation can be found in Exhibit 6D. This is a confidential exhibit and should be handled <br />accordingly. <br />Finally, site specific surveys were conducted for the ventilation shaft and dewatering pond areas. The reports <br />resulting from the surveys can be found in Exhibits 6E and 6F, respectively. Please note these are confidential <br />exhibits and should be handled accordingly. <br />Phase H Seismic Survev and Mine Water Return Line <br />Four seismic lines and a mine water return line will be constructed by TCC in the fourth quarter of 1996 or the <br />first quarter of 1997.
