<br />-3- <br />Administration. <br />The underground mine openings in the area are known and are <br />clearly visible. These areas will be designated with markers. <br />Advancing strip operations will proceed horizonally across these <br />areas and any intercepts that occur will be anticipated and <br />expected by mine personnel thus maximizing the safety of the <br />operation. <br />All mine personnel will be briefed, and given maps, of <br />possible intercepts, and all mine personnel will, under the <br />direction of a certifiied surfiace mine foreman, be given <br />inspection tours of specific areas where intercepts are know to <br />occur. <br />Management ofi Rimrock Coal Company has several years <br />experience in strip mining in situations involving intercepts <br />with abandoned underground workings that were accident firee. It <br />is anticipated that in the event that underground workings are <br />encountered coal recovery can continue through these areas in a <br />safe and efficient manner. <br />Fit widths are expected to range between 100 feet and 250 <br />fleet. <br />Loose material from the highwall is not expected to become a <br />problem. The highwall creased by mining will be back dragged <br />with a dozer when necessary. during each lift ofi overburden <br />removal to remove loose material. <br />°~'~°(J~'ED C'~~S ~~ ~~ ~~~ r~~t j'c!~ <br />
