The following Reclamation has been completed: <br />a) Craig Loadout - A coal loadout in the neazby town of Craig was previously permitted as <br />an auxiliary loading facility.

The Reclamation plan for surface disturbances of the <br />No. 9 Mine is contained in Section 2.05.4 of the permit application. <br />Reclamation Plan. Upon permanent cessation of mining activities, or when features are no <br />longer required, all surface-disturbed lands will be reclaimed. No. 5 Portals were permanently <br />sealed and partially backfilled in 1997. A portion of the No. 5 Portal face-up was graded to final <br />contours in January 2004. Topsoil application and seeding with the permanent seed mix <br />occurred on the regraded No. 5 Portal slope in February 2004. The No. SA portals were <br />permanently sealed in 2003. Surface facilities will be removed and surface disturbance areas will <br />be regraded. All azeas will be graded to approximate original contour. Topsoil from the <br />stockpiles will be redistributed over most of the surface azea. Although certain land areas were <br />disturbed prior to the existing reclamation laws and no topsoil is available, these disturbed areas <br />will be seeded. Reclamation success will be determined by comparing the reclaimed areas to a <br />set of revegetation success standards, including comparison to approved reference areas. <br />Several roads in the permit azea will be retained as permanent features. These roads are shown <br />on Map 29: Reclamation Plan. The roads include old County Road 13(this road provides access <br />to the No. SA portal azea), "Coal Mine Road"( this road provides access to the No. 5 portal area), <br />a road that leads northeast from the Waste disposal pile, and the access road to pond 9AP1. <br />12 <br />
