<br />Description of the Environment <br />A description of the environment can be found in the original permit and <br />Permit Revision No. 1, Findings of Compliance. No changes have occurred which <br />alter these findings. <br />Description of the Operation and Reclamation Plans <br />The existing plan remains essentially the same as described in Permit Revision <br />No. 1 Findings of Compliance with the exception of the following changes. <br />The Refuse Disposal Area (RDA) has been installed and is being utilized. Coal <br />is not presently being mined at the New Elk Mine, however, coal from the <br />adjacent Golden Eagle Mine is being processed at the New Elk processing <br />facilities with refuse being deposited in the New Elk RDA. Potentially, <br />market conditions could occur which would warrant future extraction of coal <br />from the New Elk Mine. Therefore, the mining plan and reclamation plan remain <br />essentially the same as the Permit Revision No. 1 Findings describe. <br />-5- <br />
