OTHER CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES <br />Other construction activities planned for the project area in 2006 may include <br />obliteration of user developed ATV trails. MCC will reclaim these trails as a part of the <br />Sylvester Gulch Road construction. <br />MCC may also install one or two radio repeaters to improve safety and <br />communications in the project azea. These repeaters aze solar-powered approximately the <br />size on an office desk. MCC would install them on existing drill pads or staging azea <br />locations and protect them with chain link fence panels. <br />MCC is also reviewing plans for drilling a hole into the back-end of the 19-21 <br />Panel district to mitigate spontaneous combustion incidents. It is anticipated that such a <br />hole could be drilled from existing MDW pads. As these plans aze developed MCC will <br />review with the USFS and apply for an amendment to the Annual Operating Plan to <br />include the specific details. <br />PLANNED EXPLORATION HOLES <br />There aze no exploration holes planned for 2006. <br />DRILLING SCHEDULE <br />MCC will proceed with road construction and drilling activities upon approval of <br />this AOP and in accordance with the Conditions of Approval as referenced in the Forest <br />Service Decision Notice dated May 31, 2002, titled Coal Methane Drainage Project <br />Panels 16-24 Mountain Coal Company West Elk Mine. <br />Completion and approval of the Annual Bird Survey is anticipated by June 12. A <br />schedule of drilling is presented based on that date. Drilling is presumed to require 8 days <br />per hole including mobilization from site to site, setup, drilling, and rig down. Note: <br />The schedule below is based on using one drilling rig. This schedule is subject to rig <br />availability and/or MCC operating constraints. <br />2006 MDW DRILL SCHEDULE <br /> LM 140 <br />Drill Hole Location Duration Start <br />19-09 Mine Property 9 5/22/2006 <br />19-10.5 Mine Property 7 5!31/2006 <br />19-10 Mine Property 6 6/712006 <br />19-18 Mine Property 10 6/7/2006 <br />20-18 Mine Property 8 6/14/2006 <br />20-14 Mine Property 8 6/23/2006 <br />20-10.5 Mine Property 7 7/2/2006 <br />20-06 Mine Property 7 7/10/2006 <br />20-OS USFS-Box Canyon 8 7/18/2006 <br />--20-21 USFS-Box Canyon 6 7/27/2006 <br />Finish Comment <br />5/30/2006 Includes 2 da.
