Walther <br /> Execuove Dvector <br />Re: GEC -East Pit Road Work <br />Michael B. Long <br /> Division Director <br />Dear Mr. Davison: <br />This letter is written to inform you of our progress in implementing additional reclamation work <br />at the former GEC Mine. The Division of Minerals and Geology will be initiating work on the <br />East Pit area of the GEC Mine sometime between May 15, 2000 and June 7, 2000. <br />This work will focus on moving the East Pit road from its current location, to a new alignment <br />which crosses the East Pit lower in the channel, then climbs along the eastern sideslope of the <br />East Pit. It is our hope that the new alignment will provide a road which is less vulnerable to . , .. <br />erosion than is occurring with the existing alignment. The crossing of the existing East Pit <br />drainage bottom will be an engineered fill with a culvert eight feet in'diameter. The culvert inlets <br />and outlets will be protected with grouted riprap. Some of the currently existing road material <br />will be used in this effort. The old corridor will be graded to ensure positive drainage, and to <br />eliminate the concentrated runoff and erosion that is currently evident along the existing corridor. <br />The road work will take priority, but depending upon the bids received and if sufficient money <br />remains available, DMG will conduct some grading at the major side slope gully located on the <br />west flank of the East Pit to eliminate the steep gully side slopes. All areas disturbed during this <br />project will be reseeded. <br />We understand that access through the East Pit must be maintained during the construction <br />project for you, and to ensure access to the Monarch Mine fan. This will be a requirement of the <br />work order. <br />Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your assistance and <br />cooperation. <br />Sincerely <br />:- <br />~a~ Berry <br />Coal Program Supervisor <br />:,-~: <br />Ir,y,^- <br />
