Dear Ms. Welt;
The Division has reviewed the information submitted by Mountain
Coal Company (MCC) dated May 26, 1995, June 2, 1995, July 5, 1995,
and July 19, 1995 regarding the above referenced minor revision
which proposes to revise the drainage control plan and the small
area exemption demonstration for the Lone Pine fan. The Division
has some adequacy concerns regarding the aforementioned submittals.
This letter is separated into three sections: the Division's May
10 letter, the Division's May 15 letter, and adequacy concerns that
have not been addressed in either letter but are a result of the
most recent submittal by MCC.

designated on Enclosure 1.
6. The revised page two, submitted on May 26, 1995, is
acceptable.
