Part IV of the report entitled Problems, Recommendations <br />and Compliance Data stated that West Elk Coal Company must submit <br />a revised sediment control plan for the equipment storage yard <br />(also referred to as the U.S. Steel Lay-down Area) at the Mt. <br />Gunnison Mine. <br />Use of the lay-down area was approved by the CMLRD on <br />October 16, 1981 as a technical revision to Permit No. C-001-80. <br />'The approval allowed West Elk Coal Company to increase the <br />existing permit area by ten acres for use as a temporary lay-down <br />area during construction. The technical revision is hereby <br />incorporated by reference. See attached Figure 3.1.8.b for a <br />description of the lay-down area. During use of the lay-down <br />area, approximately six acres were disturbed. <br />Since construction of Mt. Gunnison has essentially been <br />completed, use of the lay-down area as described in the October <br />16 permit revision is no longer necessary. As such approximately <br />4.5 acres of the disturbed area was reclaimed in October, 1982. <br />Thus only about 1.5 acres of the original lay-down area as shown <br />in Figure 3.1.8.b remains disturbed and will be used as a parking <br />area. This area has been partially graveled. <br />Sediment control for the area disturbed during the <br />construction phase (and now partially reclaimed) must now be re- <br />established since the Highway Department is constructing a <br />portion of the new Highway 133 through the area previously used <br />for sediment control. <br />The new sediment control plan will essentially parallel the <br />original plan described in the October 1981 revision, but will be <br />moved approximately 180 feet southward. The new sediment control <br />plan will consist of ditches and berms constructed in the <br />locations shown in the attached figure and will direct runoff <br /> <br />
