4 <br />Section V- Variances to the Permit <br />Rules 2.06.2, 2.06.3, 2.06.5 and 2.06.7 require that experimental practices, mountaintop <br />removal variances, variances from approximate original contour (AOC), and variances from <br />contemporaneous reclamation, respectively, be reviewed by the Division where applicable <br />during the Midterm Review. The Eagle S & 9 Mine does not have a variance from <br />mountain top removal or AOC. <br />A variance from contemporaneous reclamation was granted for Williams Fork Strip Mine <br />No. 2 in order for it to serve as an entrance for a second set of portals into the Eagle No. <br />9 Mine. In Mazch of 1985, the operator ceased mining of the Eagle 1`l0. 9 Mine. During <br />the permit revision process of 1987, the Division placed a stipulation on the permit that <br />required the operator to commence reclaiming the Williams Fork Strip Pit. The entire <br />Williams Fork Strip Mine No. 2 was reclaimed by October 15, 1987. <br />Section VI- Decision to Require Revision <br />The following itetns pertain to various portions of the Eagle 5 & 9 min<; permit which need <br />to be revised and/or need to reflect the current status and condition of the site.
