:~ <br />During the present permit term, the coal seam underlaying the en- <br />tire present permit area will be developed and mined to a depth <br />of approximately 800 feet. Toward the end of the present permit <br />term, the development of the next lower level, down to ap- <br />proximately 1,500 feet will begin and will be completed during <br />the next reneal period. During the future permit renewals the <br />development will proceed to a depth of approximately 2,200 to <br />2,500 feet. As the operations proceed, there will be no horizon- <br />tal change in the affected surface area. <br />All phases will be "stacked" on top of each other and will be <br />within the same surface area. No expansion from the present per- <br />mit area is envisioned at this time, Due to the steep pitch of <br />the coal seams to be produced from this project during this and <br />future permit renewals, following the development of the upper- <br />most level during the present permit term, all future operations <br />will be beneath the same surface area. <br />I trust that the the above information are satisfactory. <br />Sincerely, <br />E.
