Our response to their inquiry on that matter could substantially affect how <br />they will proceed. Sandy will be discussing this issue with Dave, and given Dave's schedule and other issues Sartdy is <br />presently dealing with, I'm not sure how soon we will be able to respond. So it may be awhile before Jim Stover calls you <br />with his questions regarding stability demonstrations. <br />Dan <br />From: Walker, Byron <br />Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 8:47 AM <br />To: Mathews, Dan; Brown, Sandy <br />Cc: Cramer, Johanna <br />SubjeR: RE: Roadsitle PR-3 land Use Change <br />Dan, I have not had a call. See Rule 4.03.2(3)(e)(ix). I do not have the materials at hand, but as I recall, my approach was <br />that the slope on which the road is to be built needs to be placed with a minimum stability factor of safety of 1.3 [by <br />whichever means (Rule) the backfill is approved]. If the road is incised into the embankment with no downslope <br />embankment, then the road would be contained within the backfilled slope. If not, and the downslope embankment is <br />steeper than 1.5 horizontal to 1 vertical, then Rule 4.03.2(3)(e)(ix) is engaged. For the backfill demonstration, I asked that <br />the road be included in the demonstration (ground surface configuration), with an appropriate surcharge load on the road <br />(trucks). Let me know if more is needed. Byron <br />From: Mathews, Dan <br />Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 1:02 PM <br />To: Brown, Sandy; Walker, Byron <br />Cc: Cramer, Johanna <br />Subject: Roadside PR-3 Land Use Change <br />I met with Jim Stover and Tonya Hammond representing Snowcap Coal Company this morning, to discuss questions they <br />had regarding our Oct. 11 PAR letter for PR-3. We discussed one item regarding the need for a stability analysis for the <br />proposed portal access road, which I deferred to Byron. Jim said he would be calling Byron to discuss that issue. For the <br />other issues described in the memo, I am requesting some guidance from above. <br />Let me know if either of you have questions. <br />Thanks <br />Dan <br />«File: 10-18-06 PR-3 meeting issues memo.doc» <br />
