-35- Stipulation No. 16 WITHIN 90 DAYS OF PERMIT ISSUANCE, THE PERMITTEE MUST SUBMIT A PLAN TO THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY FOR APPROVAL PROPOSING THE INSTALLATION OF A STRUCTURE THAT WOULD DEMONSTRABLY DISSIPATE THE ENERGY OF FLOW IN THE CHANNEL SUCH THAT EROSION OF THE CHANNEL WILL NOT OCCUR. Upon termination of mining, Salt Creek Mining Company proposes to return the Loma loadout facility to the land use which existed prior to the coal loadout operation (storage and rail loading facility). This is specified in Article 21 of the lease agreement between the applicant and the D&RGW Railroad Company (see Exhibit C-VIII, Appendix C, Volume IV of the application). A11 structures will be removed. Coal will be removed from the site and deposited at the McGlone or Munger Canyon site to be covered during reclamation. The surface will be graded to a smooth condition. With the acceptance of the above stipulation, the operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. XVIII. Coal Processing Waste and Non-Coal Processing Waste - Rules 2.05.3(8) 2.05.4(2)(f), 4.10 and 4.11 Salt Creek Mining Company has not proposed the installation of any coal processing facilities at the mine. No coal processing waste or non-coal processing waste will be produced by the operation. The requirements of this section do not apply. XIX. Mine Facilities, Coal Han dline Facilities, Support Facilities - Rules 2.05.3(3), 2.05.3(7) and 4.04 Pertinent information regarding facilities at the mine site are given in Sections 2.2 and 2.3.4 of Volume I of the application. The facilities planned for the mine are the mine office, vehicle storage facilities, primary mine fan, bulk rock dust storage facility, power generation equipment, conveyor gantry, portable staging/crushing unit, sediment ponds, roads and the proposed development waste storage pile. The roads, sediment ponds and development waste storage pile are discussed in other sections of this document (Sections XX, V and XVII, respectively). The applicant proposes cut slopes and embankment slopes similar to those adjoining the haul road for the portal bench area of the Munger Canyon Mine. The portal bench area also constitutes a "steep slope mining area." All proposed fill slopes are to be graded at 2:Z (horizontal to vertical) and are, therefore, acceptable. Cut slopes proposed within the portal bench area are limited to 1.5:1 (horizontal to vertical) in lower bedrock materials. These cut slopes are in compliance, therefore, with the permanent program regulations. The coal loadout facility is located approximately 2I miles from the mine site along the D&RGW Railroad siding near Loma, Colorado. Approximately 5.6 acres of disturbance is associated with the facility. Structures at the loadout include four coal loading ramps and five coal stockpile areas which will accommodate a maximum of 4,000 tons of coal. An agreement between Mesa County and Salt Creek 19ining Company, as stipulated in the Conditional Land Use Permit, limits the
