Section V, Decision to Require Revisions, lists four issues that need to be addressed. Following are <br />Honeywood Coal Company's responses to the DMG's concerns: <br />The iderrtification of irrterest section of the permtit is complete and up to date. No changes are required. <br />2. Enclosed is a letter agreement beriveen Honeywood Coal Company and William E. Bray which <br />addresses right of entry. The letter agreement clearly grants Honevwood Coal Company right of entry <br />to the disturbed azea on the Bray property in the E%: of section 33. The letter agreement should be <br />inserted into Volume 1, Exhibit 1, Leases. Page 2.03-9 was revised to explain the pro-rata termination <br />of the Bray coal lease during April 1997. <br />3. Enclosed is Map 135-B which shows the disturbed area and the revised permit boundary associated <br />with the Bray Property in legally describable sections. Additionally, the permit boundary was removed <br />from section 28 since there was no disturbance in this area. Enclosed is a revised table of contents for <br />Volume II, page iii. A note was added to the bottom of page iii which explains that the permit <br />boundary has been revised and is shown correctly of Map 135-B. <br />Enclosed is revised page 2.05-36 which explains that monitoring of discharge, if any, from Sediment <br />Ponds A and B will continue in accordance with discharge permit requirements. Additionally, surface <br />and subsurface water monitoring will be re-initiated rivo years prior to the time the Operator requests <br />final bond release. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Si~ncer~ely, <br />/ J.
