Division Concern: <br />10. A description of sail 32D-Yamac loam, appears to be missing from the <br />narrative, and this should be inserted. <br />Response~ <br />The revised pages 2.04.9-7 and 7a, describing 32D-Yamac loam are <br />pW attached and should be inserted into the appropriate location in <br />Volume 1. <br />Rule 2.05 - Operation and Reclamation Plans <br />Division Concern: <br />1. Table 1 shows a decrease in acreage disturbed and topsoil removed when <br />compared to the original soil balance table. It also shows a general <br />increase in the amount of stockpiled topsoil. A brief explanation of <br />these differences should be included either in the narrative or in a <br />separate response letter. <br />Response- <br />The original topsail balance table in the original permit application <br />included mining all of Section 11, as was anticipated during the <br />initial permit application. This plan was later revised, during the <br />initial permit process, to delete mining Section 11, since Colowyo was <br />not the successful bidder for the lease. <br />Subsequent sale of the coal lease in Section I1 by the BLM to <br />Consolidation Coal Company (Consol) and subsequent negotiations with <br />Consol to mine through the corner of Section I1 resulted in the <br />'rid revision of this table as currently found in the present permit <br />application. <br />This Table 1 was originally submitted to the Division on December 11, <br />1981 and was approved as part of the original permit application. <br />Division Concern: <br />2. Seam A3 should be listed either under the truck - shovel or dragline <br />operations on pages 2.05-7 & 8. <br />Response- ' <br />The A3 seam has not been recoverable for approximately five years now. <br />The position of the A3 seam is within the B seam interburden, whicA is <br />6~ handled by the draglines. <br />-7- <br />
