The <br />ownership and control updates referenced in MR-32 were subsequently incorporated into Technical <br />RevisionNo. I1 (TR-11). <br />MR-33 proposed approval decision was issued August 14, 2003. The revision allowed for temporary <br />storage of coal waste generated by the McClane Mine operation in a tempor~u~y pile adjacent to the coal <br />product stockpile. In addition, the revision allowed the operator to truck coal waste material from the <br />McClane permit area for permanent disposal within the approved coal mine waste disposal facility at <br />the adjacent Munger Canyon Mine pernvt azea. <br />Section IV -Permit Variances <br />The Division has approved a variance from meeting approximate original contour for reclaimed <br />azeas. The variance was approved following a demonstration that the requirements of Rule 2.06.4 <br />and 2.06.5 had been met, pursuant to Rule 4.27.3. In addition, the Division found that the applicant <br />had demonstrated that requirements of Rule 4.27.4 would be met. Information upon which these <br />findings were based can be found on pages 3-2 through 3-5 of the permit application. The landowner <br />request from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), pursuant to Rules 4.27.4(4) and 2.06.5(2)(e), <br />is included in Appendix K, of Volume IV, of the permit application. <br />The lower portion of the disturbed area will be returned to AOC, but the mine bench area was <br />granted the limited variance, to allow for backfilled slopes of lesser gradient, which would meet <br />applicable stability criteria and support the approved post-mine land use. The mine highwall will <br />be completely backfilled, with the natural sandstone outcrop that forms a neaz vertical face above <br />the portals to remain undisturbed. <br />8 <br />
