Johnston <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Office of Mined Land Reclamation <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />~~ <br />Re: West Elk Mine, Permit No. C-80-007, Repair and Maintenance of Slope Above Portals <br />Dear Christine: <br />As I'd discussed with you on the telephone last week, Mountain Coal Company (MCC) has <br />observed cracking and depressions in the soils on the slope above the West Elk Mine portals, as <br />well as separation of some culverts, inlet/outlet structures and ditches. To improve slope stability <br />and to repair and maintain the slope and drainage structures, MCC has hired a contractor to <br />excavate and repair the stluctures and to regrade the slope. Much of the slope will be redisturbed <br />to make these repairs. As soon as practical after this work is completed, MCC will reseed and <br />mulch the slope. <br />Please contact me should you have questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~~~ ~~ <br />Kathleen G. Welt, <br />Environmental Supervisor <br />
