That portion <br />of the permit area which will not be reclaimed to AOC is approximately 2 acres or 0.41 % <br />of the total. Since the disturbance is so small relative to the total area involved, no effect <br />to the total volume of flows is anticipated. <br />(d)(ii) It is assumed that the CMLR is the only agency that will review the plan. If however, <br />additional agencies become involved, there should be no objections to the plan because <br />there are really no other environmentally sound ways to reclaim the area. <br />(e) The mine site is located on Federal Coal Lease # C-0125439.
