Box 25367 <br />Denver, CO 80225-0367 <br />Re: Eastside Mine OS-02421 <br />Disposal of Mining Waste in Underground Workings <br />Sealing Plan for the Eastside Mine <br />Dear Mr. Kuzar: <br />Eastside Coal Company is in the process of closing and reclaiming the <br />Eastside Mine. Equipment removal was started on January 5, 1995. <br />Eastside Coal Company is requesting permission to dispose of approximately <br />2,000 yards of waste material stockpiled on the surface. This waste material <br />consists of a mixture of rock and coal. The rock is from development work in <br />the rock and rock spars located in the coal seam. <br />.The following procedure will be used to dispose of the waste underground. <br />1. The material will be placed in the area indicated on the attached <br />map. <br />2. The entry will be filled to no more than three feet from the roof so <br />ventilation is not disrupted. <br />3. Rock dust will be applied to the material as it is placed. <br />4. It will be placed in the entry such that if the mine is re-opened, <br />the material would be required to be removed for access to the rest of <br />the mine. <br />5. Seals will be in place no later than 4 weeks after the material is <br />placed underground. The seals will be in place by March 15, 1995 at the <br />latest. <br />The portals will be sealed as per to the drawing TYPICAL PORTAL SEAL, Drawing <br />8 which is attached. <br />The material will be placed underground beginning the 1st of February 1995. <br />If you have any additional questions, I would appreciate a phone call so <br />final approval can be obtained by that date. <br />Sincerely, <br />.Stephen S~ <br />General Manager <br />
