/• site. My concern is that a constructed drainage (riprap) maybe required to protect this reclaimed azea. A request to the applicant might be: Please include in this revision apost-mining hydraulic plan to correlate with the postmining topographic plan (Map No. 18) as parts of the overall postmining reclamation plan. The proposed material storage area is in an area of current rock disposal or storage. Are the rocks to become part of the pad fill area? The embankment slope of this pad is 2h:ly. The Rules limit haul road embanlmrents to 2h:ly. The geotechnical report at Tab 9 indicates such slopes should be stable.The cut slope above the pad is also 2h:ly. This azea looks ok. PR-7, Item 3. The flow direction in Culvert C-B4 appeazs to be reversed on Map 21-2 (proposed) from Map 15-2 (current). Is this culvert to be re-set? A request to the applicant might be: Is Culvert C-B4 (Map No. 21-2, Revised 02/20/03) to be reset to reverse flow pattern (Map No.15-2, Revised 12-OS-Ol)? Or explain the flow pattern. PR-7, Item 4. On page 2.05-39 2/03, the statement is made that "this material (excess material from construction of the B-Seam portals) is not overburdern as defimed by Rule 1.04(83), therefore the requirements of Rule 4.09 do not apply". I agree that the material is not overburden as defined by Rule 1.04(83), but the material is Coal Mine Waste. Coal Mine Waste disposal azeas shall be designed, constructed, inspected and maintained in accordance with Rule 4.09.1, 4.09.2, along with 4.10 and 4.11. Recommend the following: Please revise the statement on page 2.05-39 of the application that the requirements of Rule 4.09 do not apply. These requirements do not apply under Rule 1.04(83), but do apply under Rules 1.04(22a) and 4.10. Please expand the discussion on Coal Mine Waste (page 2.05-45 of the application) to include the underground development waste as a source. Please demonstrate that the coal mine waste storage meets stability and other requirements of the applicable portions of the rules, and explain the plan and procedure to bring this area to the post-mining topography of Map 18 (Revised 02-10-03). PR-7, Item S. That there is a strong indication that there will be underground mine entry and access water dischazges is stated on page 2.05-69. There is nothing about iron concentrations or iron-producing seams. I don't think enough information is provided for us to approve a mine dischazge. I didn't see anything in the geotechnical reports (Volume VII) that pertained to PR-8. Do you want me to review other reports? The geologic section? Hydrology -ground water? See Rules 2.04.6(3), 4.05.1(4)(c)(iv), and 4.05.10. Cc: Dan Hernandez (e-mail) Sandy Brown (e-mail)
