for the destruction in this area due to their approval of the <br />pond which was installed above the old underground coal mine. <br />Sun Coal had decided not to use the area as a loadout due to the <br />unstable condition in the area. The many boulders at the bottom <br />of steep out-slope do not grow grass! The area must be reclaimed <br />and boulders removed. This is not part of the road and never has <br />been. <br />6 The areas along or beside the road that require <br />reclamation are: <br />a The old surface mine above the compressor shed was used <br />and road was build thru it by Sun Coal. Why hasn't this been <br />reclaimed? Ponds must be left intact when or if reclamation is <br />accomplished. <br />b Cuts which were made in the cut slope to assist in road <br />building were never back filled, just left to cause erosion. <br />c Lower Coal View bench still has its excavated high wall <br />and eroded out-slope. How many more years? <br />d The Coal View bench (upper) and areas close by were <br />excavated by Sun to explore etc. They used the areas after the <br />77 law but they too have never been reclaimed and reseeded. Also <br />not a part of the road. <br />Summary---- The forgoing subjects must be fully addressed <br />soon. We do not intend to again wait years. The mining ended in <br />1981 and we have indured numerous hardships. The takings must <br />cease! Due to the fact that major reclamation still must be <br />accomplished we request that bond be increased. <br />we are willing to discuss a possible taking over of all <br />s <br />
