The revision proposes minor changes to the eastern end of the mine yard area. Specifically, EFCI intends to eliminate the North Cell of Pond 1 (Black Water Pond) and regrade the adjacent area. This proposed work will execute and compliment a portion of the Phase I reclamation, and improve operation of the coal stockpile area. The Black Water Pond is designed as anon-discharging impoundment that receives only process water drained from the preparation plant, and direct precipitation. Under current preparation plant operations, EFCI no longer needs the capability to drain into the Black Water Pond. EFCI proposes to backfill and grade the Black Water Pond by cutting material from the area east of the pond, and regrading the slope on the north side of pond. The resulting configuration will leave a bench on and to the east of the current Black Water Pond location. EFCI will grade the area so that drainage control is focused to the west end (opposite end of discharge) of Pond 1. Permit materials for this revision include both text pages and maps. Since the approved hydrologic demonstrations for Pond I (South Cell) include the area encompassed by the Black Water Pond, revision of the hydrology is not required. Text changes remove the information and references to the North Cell, and accompany this transimittal for insertion into the permit. The revised map showing Pond I, Map 2l, will be submitted under separate cover from TerraMatrix, Inc. EFCI respectfully requests that the other appropriate permit maps that show the facility area be similarly revised and submitted in accordance with Stipulation No. 26. Included with this transmittal are 3 copies of the following: Application Form for a Minor Revision Summary of Revisions and Additions Revised Permit text
