[f the gravel area will be left unreclaimed, EFMC revises its permit to provide a basis for a <br />exception from the revegetation requirements of Rule 4.15. A suggested example would <br />be a discussion as to how the gravel area could be considered a "facility that is approved <br />as pats of the postmining land use", as discussed under Rule 4.15.1(2)(a). <br />6. EFMC revises its permit to supply comments by the landowner and any other state and <br />local government agencies that would have to authorize the proposed gravel extraction <br />(Rule 2.05.5(2)(b)). <br />Under separate cover, you will receive information from the Minerals Program regarding <br />the possible need for the landowner to obtain a Minerals Program permit. While this is a <br />process independent of the Coal Program, we recommend EFMC suggest to the <br />landowner to proceed with this process, for the sake of both the landowner and EFMC. <br />Once the landowner receives a determination from the Minerals Program that documents <br />whether the landowner will need to obtain a minerals permit, we suggest EFMC obtain a <br />copy of this correspondence from the landowner, and submit it as an exhibit to EFMC's <br />Raton Creek permit, should the landowner wish to proceed with the gravel extraction. <br />We hope this information has provided the guidance you requested. <br />Should you have any further questions, please contact us. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dantel I.
