24HG2E27XC Sample Hole(s) Project Plan <br />Minor Revision 320 <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />This seed mixture will be a minimum of 99 percent pure live seed containing a <br />maximum of 1 percent weeds none of which aze noxious. Seed must be <br />distributed at specified pounds per acre. <br />6. The pad azeas will be fertilized (30-0-0, minimum NPK), seeded with the <br />approved seed mix, and mulched (certified weed-free straw). <br />7. The access roads will be restored as closely as possible to the approximate <br />original contour, re-seeded, fertilized, and mulched as above. <br />8. The drill pads and access roads reclamation procedure outlined above will <br />apply only to those azeas newly disturbed for this proposed project. Existing <br />roads will be left in a condition equal to or better than that observed on <br />Mountain Coal Company's entry into the area. <br />9. Any coal recovered incidentally to this project will be in the form of cuttings or <br />core and would either be taken back to the mine site or disposed of in the mud <br />pits. <br />ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE <br />3- <br />Drilling of these wells is anticipated to commence October ~ 2005 depending on drill <br />rig availability and USFS approval. It will take approximately 3 days to drill and <br />complete each of the hole(s) and another week to perform interim reclamation. <br />The term of use is variable due to levels of gases found in the mine as a result of the <br />drilling and the level of success of pumping water, foam, and nitrogen into the mine. <br />MEASURES TO BE USED TO COMPLY WITH PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br />FOR THE PROJECT (43 CFR 3484.1(a). 30 CFR 815.15, and Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geotoev Rules and Reeulationsl <br />1. Operator shall comply with applicable requirements of surface management <br />agency, 30 CFR 815.15, or approved State program. <br />Mountain Coal Company has reviewed, and will comply with, all applicable requirements <br />of 30 CFR 815.15 and the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Regulations stated in <br />C.R.S. 34-33-101. <br />2. Install casing and blowout preventers in drill holes in known oil, gas, and geothermal <br />areas. <br />It is anticipated that gas will be encountered in the rubblized-zone of the B Seam. Gas is <br />known to be encountered after mining in previous methane drainage holes in the area. <br />Casing will be set in each hole as necessary to maintain circulation of cuttings to the <br />surface. <br />
