istration regulations, which had been partially back-
filled to extinguish the mine fire. As the shafts
would he filled, a concrete cap and vent pipe proposed
in the existing permit would not be required. The ex-
isting portal level access road would be cut approxi-
mately four feet for a length of approximately 160 feet
near the proposed intake portal and Cut approximately
five feet for a length of approximately 140 feet near
the proposed return portal, allowing room for traffic
at the new portals. A rock fill would he constructed
on the existing portal and parking lot levels backfill-
ing the cut slopes per existing approved final configu-
ration designs.
Refer to the Golder Associates designs for specific in-
formation regardiny the rock tunnels portals, cuts and

these facilities would remain unchanged from the exist-
ing approved reclamation plan,
