OR <br />Owns an operation which is currently in violation of CITE but <br />is in the process of correcting such violation. (SPECIALIST EXPLAIN <br />SITUATION.) (2.07.6(2)(g)(ii)). <br />8. THE APPLICANT OR OPERATOR does not control and has not controlled mining <br />operations with a demonstrated pattern of willful violations of the Act <br />of such nature, duration, and with such resulting irreparable damage to <br />the environment as to indicate an intent not to comply with the <br />provisions of the Act. (2.07.6(2)(h)). <br />9. The Division finds that surface coal mining and reclamation operations to <br />be performed under this permit will not be inconsistent with other such <br />operations anticipated to be performed in areas adjacent to the permit <br />area (2.07.6(2)(1)). Marr is not alone in mining coal on Jackson County <br />rangeland. The Canadian Strip permit area abuts the Marr permit area to <br />the south; the Bourg Mine is located several miles north. <br />10. The Division has examined the EXISTING bond in the form of a CORPORATE <br />SURETY, in the amount $5,500,000.00. This bond has received initial <br />approval. <br />The above bond amount reflects the Division's projection of reclamation <br />costs for Pit 1 and the 720 Pit worst-case disturbance (2.07.6.(2)(j)). <br />I1. The Division has made a negative determination for the presence of prime <br />farmland within the permit area. The decision was based on evidence <br />provided by the Soil Conservation Service that demonstrates that no prime <br />farmland mapping units are found within the permit area. (2.07.612)(k)). <br />12. Based on information provided in the application the Division has <br />determined that four alluvial valley floors exist within the permit or <br />affected area. The alluvial valley floor is found along the Illinois <br />River, the Canadian River, Bolton Draw and Sudduth Draw and will be <br />minimally affected by Marr mining activity. (2.07.6(2)(K) and <br />2.06.8(3)(C)>. <br />For additional specific findings concerning this alluvial valley floor <br />please see Section B, XVII. <br />13. The Division has approved the post-mining land use of the operation. It <br />was determined that rangeland meets the requirements of Rule 4.16 for the <br />permit area. (2.07.6(2)(1)). <br />14. Specific approvals required under Rule 4 have been granted or are <br />proposed. These approvals are addressed in the following section, <br />Section B. (2.07.6(2)(m)). <br />15. The Division finds that the activities proposed by the applicant would <br />not affect the continued existence of endangered or threatened species or <br />result in the destruction or adverse modification of their critical <br />habitats. (2.07.6(2)(n)). <br />
