XYIII. Coal Processing Waste and Non-Coal Processing Waste - Rules 2.05.3(8 <br />Temporary surface storage of limited amounts of the underground waste <br />generated by the operation and its eventual backstowing in worked out <br />sections of the mine are practices currently approved for the mine. <br />Continuation of these practices has been proposed for the future <br />operation. As a result of recent changes in the regulations of the <br />Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, however, coal <br />processing and underground development waste are no longer <br />differentiated. All such material is considered coal mine waste and <br />subject to the same regulations. Consequently, the storage and disposal <br />practices approved for the mine in regard to coal mine waste must be <br />revised to conform with current rules. Therefore, the following <br />stipulation is made: <br />Stipulation No. 01: <br />WITHIN 90 DAYS OF APPROVAL OF PERMIT REVISION (PR) N0. 2, <br />NATIONAL KING COAL WILL SUBMIT A PLAN IN THE FORM OF A TECHNICAL <br />REVISION TO THE PERMIT BOTH ACCEPTABLE TO THE DIVISION AND THAT <br />PROVIDES FOR THE PERMANENT DISPOSAL OF THE COAL MINE WASTE <br />GENERATED BY THE MINE. THE PLAN SHALL INCLUDE AN ESTIMATE OF THE <br />AMOUNT OF COAL MINE WASTE TO BE PRODUCED AND SHALL COMPLY WITH THE <br />APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF RULES 2.05.3(8), 2.05.3(9), 2.05.3(10), 4.10 <br />AND 4.11. <br />With the acceptance of this stipulation by the operator, the proposed <br />operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br />XI X. Mine Facilities, Coal Handling Structures and Support Facilities; <br />3(4) <br />The specific findings required under this section which were made in the <br />July, 1981 Findings Document (Renewal) have not been modified by the <br />proposed revision and those findings remain applicable. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />XX. Bonding - Rules 2.05.4(2)(b) and 3 <br />The specific findings required under this section which were made in the <br />July, 1987 Findings Document (Renewal) have not been modified by the <br />proposed revision and those findings remain applicable. The addition of <br />the 480 acres involved in proposed PR No. 2 which will be mined by means <br />of the extension of current workings does not increase the amount of <br />surface disturbance of the mine or the cost of its reclamation. <br />The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br />section. <br />-10- <br />
