CO BD/bT <br />~~°~ <br />JUN ? 3 1°88 <br />PAS*.fEO LP.i~^ <br />CtEGI_AMA?!O!v t71`dtSiON <br />Enclosed are CYCC's responses to the three issues raised in your letter <br />Of May 20, 1988. <br />1). CMLRD's calculated total bond of $156,000.00 is acceptable to CYCC. <br />2). The discrepancy in replaced topsoil depth results from the topsoil <br />being more evenly distributed than indicated in the bond calculation on <br />page 2.05-44. CMLRD's topsoil depth measurement show (Inspection of <br />10/15/87 - 10/21/87) a mine wide minimum average depth of 20} inches. <br />This compares very favorable with the average depth taken from page <br />2.05-44 which is 22 inches: It should also be remembered that all <br />topsoil except for 5 acres, was removed prior to any topsoil inventory <br />requirements (see Sec 2.04.9 of Permit). As a result, topsoil yardages <br />were only estimates from existing stockpiles and SCS mapping. <br />3). The acreage discrepancy appears to be the result of the Fish Creek <br />Tipple and the haul road. 'Approximately 14 acres at the Fish Creek <br />Tipple are now the responsibility of Twentymile Coal Co. under permit <br />C-81-036. From 10 to 20 acres of the haul road were not reclaimed but <br />given to the county and are now part of the county road. <br />CYCC does not believe that updated versions of the three maps submitted <br />with the Phase I bond release application for Mine 3 are necessary. The <br />only change needed to bring the maps up to date is to list the 13 acre area <br />shown on Map 3 of 3 as seeded rather than topsoiled. <br />If there are further questions or concerns please contact me at your <br />convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />C <br />-t...% II~JJ <br />Terrell K.
