Box 98 <br />Loma, CO 80202 <br />RE: Munger Reclamation <br />Permit C-1981-020 <br />Request for Revision <br />Dear Mr. Isaacs: <br />During my inspections of McClane Canyon and Munger Canyon Mines on December 21, <br />we discussed the fact that CAM Mining LLC (CAM} is planning to undertake <br />reclamation of the Munger Canyon Mine, including portal bench area, access road, and <br />coal waste disposal site during 2007. I mentioned that, when reclamation of long term <br />facility areas is initiated earlier than planned, there are usually some aspects of the <br />reclamation plan that need to be amended prior to implementation. One issue we <br />discussed is that, if the coal waste disposal area at Munger is to be closed and reclaimed, <br />the McClane permit will need to be revised to specify an acceptable alternative site for <br />disposal of coaly sediment and other coal or rock waste occasionally generated from <br />pond and ditch cleanout and other sources. A related issue is that, because the Munger <br />waste disposal site would be closed up much sooner than anticipated, with only a smaIl <br />fraction of the planned material volume placed in the disposal, the approved disposal pile <br />design set forth in the Munger reclamation plan will need to be revised to reflect the <br />actual volume of material. <br />Subsequent to our discussion, I have given some additional thought to this matter, and I <br />have reviewed the approved Munger permit application package and related permitting <br />documents. Based on the review, I have identified a number of additional items that will <br />or may need to be revised to accommodate the expedited reclamation. <br />Office of Office of <br />Mined Land Reclamation Active and Inactive Mines <br />
