The Division has found the request to be complete and has <br />posted a copy of the request at our office. This letter provides the decision <br />on the request and will also be posted. There is no newspaper publication <br />requirements for appications for minor revisions. The public is given 10 days <br />to comment on the Division's decision after which the decision becomes final. <br />DECISION <br />Due to the present inactive status of mining operations and the lack of any <br />disturbance in the Pit 2 area, the Division accepts the proposal to modify <br />the deadline for satisfaction of Stipulation I3. The amended Stipulation 13 <br />is as follows: <br />PRIOR TO AN1' OPERATIONS IN PHASE VII OTHER THAN TOPSOIL SALVAGE, <br />WYOMING FUEL COMPANY MUST m ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: <br />1) PROVIDE A PLAN FOR RECOVERY OF SUFFICIENT TOPSOIL MATERIAL <br />TO COVER SODIC OVERBURDEN TO A DEPTH OF THREE FEET; <br />2) PROVIDE A PLAN FOR HANDLING OVERBURDEN WHICH DEMOtJSTRATES <br />THAT NO MATERIAL WITH AN SAR OVER ZO WILL BE PLACED WITHIN 3 <br />FEET OF THE SOIL SURFACE. SUCH A PLAN SHOULD INCLUDE A <br />METHODOLOGY BY WHICH [tfYOMING FUEL COMPANY CAN ASSURE OPERATOR <br />COMPLIANCE; <br />J) PROVIDE PROOF THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF 18-24" OF TOPSOIL <br />OVER HIGH SAR OVERBURDEN DOES NOT SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE <br />RISK OF SOIL DEGRADATION OVER PRE-MINING CONDITIONS. <br />
