Coal is temporarily stockpiled in the mine yard area prior to haulage by truck <br />to the rail load-out facility at Delta, Coiorado, approximately 17 miles from <br />the mine site. The proposed 13.65 acre permit area at the load-out is located <br />within an industrial area (a former sugar beet processing facility) bordering <br />the Delta city limits and the city sewage iagoons. <br />Upon cessation of mining, final reclamation will entail facilities removal, <br />portal sealing and backfilling, and regrading of the mine bench and face up <br />area to approximate the original topography. The original drainage <br />configuration will be restored, and the regraded area will be ripped, <br />topsoiled (to the extent that topsoil 15 available) and revegetated. The <br />load-out will be returned to its pre-mining classification of an industrial <br />site. No specific use has been proposed. <br />-9- <br />
