5. On page .i.7-7, P&M lists the off cers and directors of the Powell Bend Mining Company. ~ According; to the AVS and OSM, the Powell Bend Mining Company was dissolved on April 30, 1995. Please see the attached documentation for further detail. Please revise ~.~ page 3.7-7 to reflect this information. ~ ~~~ P&M tnciuded the organizational structure for the Black Beauty Coal Company, but did ~,s~,,~a y~. not state the relationship between P&Mand Black Beauty. Please revise the text to clarify this relationship. Text concerning Powell Bend Mining Company and Black Beauty Coal Company have been revi:>ed to provide the information requested. Additionally, the Officers and Directors., permits held, and NOV history have been updated to be consistent with information in the AVS database. 7. Section 4.3, Topsoil Management, was revised to reflect the most recent topsoil mass balance. In that section, P&Mstates that topsoil was replaced on 132.6 acres in the West Ridl;e area. The previously approved text indicated 144 acres would be covered. What is tine reason for the reduction in acreage? The difference in acreage in the previously approved text and the current text are caused by several factors. The two primary factors causing the difference include: 1) a three percent difference between the original estimate of topsoil available for salvage (181,515 yds') and the final estimate of topsoil salvaged (177,030 yds'); and 2) a one inch difference between the eight inch topsoil replacement depth previously proposed and the actual nine inch average topsoil replacement depth on acreage retopsoiled in 1995. 12. The revised Section 4.4 no longer includes information the Division believes is pertinent o , and should be retained. 1- a. Pages 4.4-6 (Riparian Standards), 4.4-11 (riparian seed mixture), and 4.4-20 (seed application) have all been revised to delete reference to reestablishment of riparian areas. P&M notes that, because the Trout Creek disturbance did not occur and the road through the Oak Creek riparian area will be permanent, there ar•e no riparian areas to revegetate. Since permanent retention of the road has rapt yet been approved, P&Mshould retain the sections regarding riparian areas. P.&M could add these proposed changes to those proposed in Technical Revision 3:i. The various sections describing riparian standards, seed mixture and seed application have been revised to retain the discussions regarding riparian areas.
