Additional <br />paved pazking is needed to accommodate approximately 100 additional employees that TCC anticipates hiring over <br />the next two yeazs. Paving will require base prepazation, consisting of placement and compaction of 8-12 inches of <br />road-base, followed by placement and compaction of approximately 3 inches of asphalt over an azea of approximately <br />23,400 square feet. <br />Resurfacing and paving the pazking azea will not affect existing drainage systems surrounding the parking areas, since <br />the designed drainage ditches will be either maintained or reestablished. Reclamation of the pazking area will be <br />completed in accordance with the existing approved reclamation plan. <br />We appreciate your consideration and cooperation. Once you have had opportunity to review the accompanying <br />information, please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss related matters. <br />Best regards, <br />Twentymile Coal Company <br />~~ ~~~ <br />B.
