c-Iqe <br />Walker, Byron <br />From: Hernandez, Dan <br />Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 11:17 AM <br />To: Walker, Byron <br />Subject: Foidel Ck TR44 <br />Byron -- FYI: I've extended the decision date for TR-44 to 9/10/04, per a phone conversation with Jerry Nettleton this <br />morning. Atso, l spoke with Dave Berry about the material excavated from the cuttings holding pit. He suggested that it <br />could be classified as borrow material, as TCC is proposing to utilize this material in the reclamation of the Fish Creek <br />Tipple. <br />Jerry mentioned to me today that once the shaft is ready for reclamation, TCC will remove the cuttings from the pit and <br />place them back into the shaft. I asked Jerry how they were then planning to achieve AOC with regard to the cuttings pit. <br />He said that they will just grade the cuttings pit out. I asked how deep the cuttings pit was going to be, and Jerry said <br />about 10 feet. I then asked Jerry to provide apost-mining topo map, demonstrating how TCC will achieve AOC during <br />their backfilling and grading work, and how they will ensure that an impoundment would not be left where the cuttings pit <br />once was. <br />Dave Berry also mentioned that we have precedent for allowing mine waste to disposed of below grade withour having to <br />classify the disposal area as a mine waste bank. I need to get a bit of clarification on this, but it's possible that we could <br />classify the shaft cuttings pit as a temporary ug mine development waste pit, rather than as a mine waste bank. <br />
