<br />Response - No further response required. <br />6. The capacity of the coal stockpile to be expanded was included <br />with the operator's responses. However, the task of removing half <br />of the stockpile to the refuse pile was not included in the <br />estimate. Please see task 102. <br />Response - A bond estimate is provided; however, it states the <br />material will be placed in the portal area as opposed to hauling to <br />the refuse pile. This is an acceptable disposal area for this <br />material and it is closer to the stockpiles. <br />7. The removal of the preparation plant was included in the bond <br />estimate for MR#111.

The clean coal conveyor was removed from the operator's <br />estimate, and I added it back in as the description of the coal <br />handling structures did not change. <br />Response - The clean coal conveyor has been added back into the <br />bond calculation. <br />10. The answer to this question regarding supplemental fill <br />material is not critical at this time, as the backfilling and <br />grading plan is currently being addressed in Permit Revision No. 3. <br />Response - No further response necessary at this time. <br />Additional Adequacy Questions: <br />1.
