<br />the soil testing program will be used to determine if, and how much, fertilizer should be applied <br />to the topsoiled area. Since Beaz Coal Company has not performed this testing yet, the Division <br />may need to add this testing and fertilizer plan to the reclamation cost estimate. <br />12. In a letter to the Division dated May 9, 2000, BCC requested release from responsibility for the <br />Edwards Mine portal spring. The Division responded with a letter to BCC dated August 16, <br />2002 in which the Division requested additional information concerning the spring. However, <br />BCC has not replied to the Division's request for this additional information. Please submit <br />responses to this August 16, 20021etter, a copy of which is attached for your convenience. The <br />Division further requests an update on Beaz Coal Company's efforts to change the NPDES <br />permit flow description from mine water dischazge to spring water dischazge. <br />13. In addition, the source of the discharge referenced in item #12 above and the relationship of <br />this discharge to the landslide and reclamation stability is not known. It will be necessary to <br />address the source of this water and the relationship to land reclamation stability. Please <br />provide a detailed report regazding the mine water inflows encountered during the mining at the <br />Beaz No. 3 Mine. Include a summary of annual inflows, locations of inflows, underground <br />mine water management methods and mine water pumping and dischazge records. Please also <br />provide an analysis of the disposition of mine flows subsequent to mine closure and the <br />cessation of mine water dischazge to the surface. <br />If you have any questions, please call me. <br />Sincerely, <br />D..~.~-Q <br />J seph .lash <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Attachments <br />cc: William A.
