The inconsistent narrative needs to be appropriately amended, and a plan for storage and <br />handling of coal yard cleanings will need to be provided. If yard cleanings cannot be <br />blended with product coal, a plan for coal mine waste disposal complying with all <br />applicable provisions of 2.05.3(8) and 4.10 will need to be submitted. Such plan should <br />be submitted as a technical revision to the permit. If the disposal site would be located <br />on the Munger permit area, a technical revision to both the McClane and Munger permits <br />would be required. <br />Response: see attachment /tem #I S which includes new pages 2-1 and 2-27 that address how <br />high-ash coaly material wUl be handled. <br />2.05.4(2) Reclamation Plan (Roads) <br />16) The second paragraph of page 3-1 states that sites to be reclaimed include "...that portion <br />of the haul road which was widened for mining activities." Other statements on the same <br />page and in other portions of the application clearly indicate that the entire length of the <br />haul road will be fully reclaimed. The referenced sentence should be revised to eliminate <br />the apparent contradiction. <br />Response: see attachment Item #I6, replacement page 3-1 which revises the "...that portion of <br />the haul road which was widened for mining activities." statement. <br />2.05.6(3) Protection ofHVdrolo~ical Balance <br />17) On page 4-17, under "Groundwater Quality Monitoring Program", the text includes a <br />paragraph referencing reporting of groundwater data in quarterly and annual hydrological <br />reports to the Division. A similar statement should be included with regard to surface <br />water data under "Surface Water Monitoring Program". Also, please include a statement <br />in both monitoring sections which specifies that baseline water quality data will be <br />included in the annual hydrology reports in addition to the quarterly monitoring data, to <br />allow for comparison of baseline and "during mining" conditions. This request was made <br />by the Division in the mid-term review letter of February 19, 1999. LEI committed to <br />provide such information in the annual reports in a letter of October 26, 1999 from Jim <br />Stover to Dan Matthews. However, the permit text was not amended to include this <br />commitment, and the baseline data was not included in the 2000 AHR. <br />Response: see attachment Item #17, replacement pages 4-17, 4-20, and 4-21 which addresses <br />adding baseline water quuliry data to the annual hydrological reports and reporting surface <br />water data on the .same report. <br />7 <br />
