Midterm Review
Eastside Mine
C-1984-063
Introduction
This document presents the results of a midterm review conducted by the Division of Minerals
and Geology of the Eastside Mine permit. This review was conducted to fiilfill the requirements
of Rules 2.08.3 and 3.02.2(4). The permit is in compliance by exception with Rules 2.06.2
through 2.06.7(5).
Rule 2.08.3 requires that the Division of Minerals and Geology (Division) conduct a review of
each permit issued, prior to its midterm. Based on this review, for good cause shown, the
Division may require reasonable revisions or modifications of the permit provisions to ensure
compliance with the Act and Regulation (Rule).
Rules 2.06.2, 2.06.3, 2.06.4, 2.06.5, 2.06.6, and 2.06.7 require that experimental practices,
mountaintop removal variances, steep slope mining, variances from approximate original contour
(AOC) for steep slope mining, prime farmlands, and variances from contemporaneous
reclamation for combined mining operations, respectively, be reviewed by the Division where
applicable during the Midterm Review. None of these activities are incorporated in this permit.
Rule 3.02.2(4) requires that the Division review the amount of the bond and the terms of
acceptance of the bond every 2'/z years.
This Midterm Review consists of a review of the Eastside Mine permit application and the
Permit Renewal RN-03 Findings Document to identify items that may need updating since the
permit renewal was approved. The Division also reviewed all subsequent revisions and
stipulation responses to ensure that all permit commitments and conditions were being followed.
Problems and observations from past inspection reports were also considered.
