M. S. Hayes Page 2 June 29, 1990 for the Bear No.l and No. 2 Mines should occur 10 years after the 1982 reclamation project or 1991. 5. Pages 2.03-16, 2.05-3R, 2.05-5R and 4.20-1 were revised to reference B-Seam mining and Map 9a, the B-Seam mine projec- tion. 6. Pages 2.05-6R and 2.05-7R were revised to reflect the completion of the C-Seam mining and the current and projected mining sequence in the B-Seam. 7. Pages 2.06-4 and 4.05-2 were revised to reflect the fact that Bear Coal does not process coal on site. 8. The discussion on page 2.05-7R regarding storage of gob underground was not revised. This discussion relates to hoca the mine was rehabilitated in 1982. The discussion of gob storage and gob disposal was expanded on page 4.09-1R. Rule 4.09.1(15) is applicable to returning waste to the mine which is not rele- vant to Bear's mining operation. 9. The discussion on page 2.05-25R regarding underground development waste was updated and expanded. Rule 'L.05.3(9) is also only applicable to returning waste to the mine. 10. The best information available for the lithology of DH- 1 and DH-2 is presented on Map 7. Anchor Coal Company had DH-1 and DH-2 drilled in 1978. According to a representative of that company, DH-1 and DH-2 were abandoned appropriately. In any case, Bear Coal Company does not consider the abandonment of DH-1 and DH-2 to be its responsibility. 11. The B-Seam fuel characterization was added on page 2.04-21. 12. Geochemical analyses of B-Seam floor coal, roof rock overlying the B-Seam, and temporary waste storage piles #1 and #2 are tabulated on page 2.04-24a. This data was evaluated accord- ing to the guidelines for which the C-Seam geochemical data was evaluated on pages 2.04-22 through 2.04-28. 13. Added discussion of water rights to page 4.05-10. According to the information made available to me, water consump- tion at the mine has not been monitored very closely. The Opera- tor recently installed a flow meter in the line feeding the mine which should provide some reliable water consumption information by the end of the year. Therefore, the issue of water consump- tion will be addressed in the next Annual Hydrologic Report.
