CHAPTER C: MINE OPERATION PLAN <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />All references to mining in this chapter have been rendered <br />obsolete due to reclamation of all sites. <br />Contained in the following sections of this chapter are the <br />modified 5-year operations plans for the Meeker Area Mines. The <br />Northern No. 1 (FF Seam), and Rienau No. 2 (G Seam) Mines will each be <br />addressed in an individual operations plan. Operation plans for the <br />Rienau No. 2 (G Seam) mine are included as they pertain to mine develop- <br />ment of additional federal coal. Surface facilities (i. e., tipple, <br />bath house, etc.), drainage and sediment control, and haul road design <br />have been previously submitted and approved by OSM (June 1, 1979) and <br />CMLRB (May 31, 1979 under Permit No. 78-345). Operation plans and <br />surface facilities for the Northern No. 1 (FF Seam) Mine are included <br />in this application. These plans will include mining of new Federal <br />coal leases from existing leases at fee coal operations as permitted <br />on July 6, 1979 by CbII.NB under Permit No. 79-9. Where facilities are <br />joined between mines, sections will indicate their relationship. <br />A map, Erd~ibit C-4a, delineating the boundaries of the mine plan <br />area, permit area and area of surface disturbance, has been pre- <br />pared and is enclosed. At this point in time, Northern Coal does <br />not anticipate utilizing the increnental approach to bonding. <br />• <br />C-1 ~ 5 ~~9 <br />
