Topsoil has been removed from the azea and is <br />stockpiled on the edge of the fire-training azea. Current plans call for the area to be used for temporary storage of the <br />pan-1vne for the existing longwall, when it is replaced in late-2005 and early-2006. Due to lack of recent use, the azea <br />is stabilized by some vegetation, and TCC does not plan to re-disturb the area prior to implementing the proposed use. <br />Surface runoff from this azea is already controlled by Ditch RDA-1, which routes runoff flows to Pond D. <br />Reclamation of the proposed storage area will be completed in accordance with the existing approved reclamation <br />plan. <br />We appreciate yow 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 Co any <br />Jerry M. eton <br />Enviro a al Supervisor <br />cc: Mike Berdine/TCC <br />G:\Environmental\REVISION\MINOR-RV\MR05-203 Equipment Storage Area\MR05-203 Letter of Transmittal.doc <br />
