Mr. Fred Banta January 11, 1984 Page Two and/or 2.08.4). This effort to resolve any ambiguities in Special Stipulation No. 1 should be undertaken as promptly as possible even if Eastside Coal elects to immediately convert its current exploration approval into a regular §110 permit application as suggested by you and Dan Mathews in our discussion. The minimum time requirements for public notice and comment and the normal effort to review and process such a §110_permit application will leave a relatively substantial time under which these ambiguities will remain open for various interpretations and agency or corporate actions by the Division and Eastside Coal. Thus, it is my firm belief that it is in the mutual interests of both the Division and Eastside Coal to attempt to clarify these issues. For the sake of discussion purposes, it appears appropriate for the parties to meet and attempt to reach some understanding on the following issues: 1. What form or degree of proof is appropriate to insure that coal moved from the site is to be used for test burn purposes? 2. If an adequate proof form is resolved for the various types of possible coal transactions, should the Division require advance written approval from the Division to be received by Eastside Coal prior to authorization being granted on a transaction by trans- action basis for transport of such coa o the explor- ation ~? 3. Assuming proper and agreed upon documenta- tion is submitted by Eastside Coal to the Division, and there is some short term (i.e., winter months) demand for small volume test burns in the local area, could the Division agree to some small monthly allot- ment (e.g., 200 tons a month)_fo_r such t burn transactions? ~- There may be some other issues or proposals which merit attention and discussion. These particular ones are the items which seem to arise most readily from our discussions to date. We very much appreciate your time and consideration given to our discussion today. We now respectfully ask for your further cooperation and consideration of these items as outlined above or which might arise from our further dis- cussions.
