TR-16 PAR COMMENTS <br />In RN-4 Adequacy /tams 1 through 9, the Division had requested numerous amendments to <br />update and clarify current operational plans and delete outdated provisions. In the response <br />submittal cover letter for TR-16, the applicant stated that Section 2.0 Mine Plan had been <br />re-written in its entirety, and indicated that current permit pages 2. 1-2 through 2.6-1 should <br />be removed and replaced with revised pages 2-1 through 2-27. <br />The Division requested that mine plan narrative in Section 2.0 and subsection 2.1, <br />and associated figures and tables, be updated to reflect current operational status <br />and plans. <br />The narrative sections have been replaced in their entirety. Pages 2.1-1 through <br />2.1-8 have been replaced with amended pages 2-1 through 2-5. Although no <br />concerns were previously identified with Subsection 1.1, one update would be <br />appropriate and is requested. We have identified the following concerns with these <br />sections: <br />al Please provide a summary paragraph to incorporate at the end of Section 1, <br />addressing the permit modifications associated with RN-4 and TR-16. <br />b) In Section 2.0, on amended page 2-1, there is a typographical error in the initial <br />sentence. Also, the final sentence of the section erroneously indicates that the. <br />Loma Loadout was reclaimed in April 2002. Our records indicate the reclamation <br />was actually performed in the fall of 2001. Please amend the text as appropriate. <br />2. The Division requested updated information regarding coal waste disposal at the <br />mine bench, and plans for future disposal in an approved coal waste disposal area. <br />Item resolved. <br />3-6. The Division requested updated information regarding mine facilities including <br />buildings, roads, portal bench, and rail loadout (Subsections 2.2.1 through 2.2.7). <br />a) Current permit in Subsection 2.2, as updated October 2000, indicated <br />disturbance area associated with the existing access road to be 8.26 acres. <br />Amended text on page 2-5 indicates road disturbance of 5.9 acres. Please verify <br />that the amended acreage is correct, and update disturbance acreage listed in the <br />Renewal Application Form, as appropriate. <br />b) Our copies of the amended text are missing page 2-6 (apparently the entirety of <br />Subsection 2.2.1 and the first portion of Subsection 2.2.2. Also, the text of <br />existing Subsection 2.2.2.1-Waste Disposal Haul Road (pages 2.2-7i through 2.2- <br />7iii) apparently has been deleted from the revision submittal, but the narrative <br />information regarding the waste disposal haul road (including sections to be <br />reconstructed prior to coal waste haulage) has not been included elsewhere in the <br />revision submittal. Please submit the missing page or pages, and also please ensure <br />that the narrative regarding design, construction, and drainage of the proposed <br />Waste Disposal Haul Road is included in the revision application. Also, please <br />ensure that revised text properly references "haul road" and "access road" <br />segments, as appropriate. Note that the existing road has been approved and <br />
