Long <br />D wiSinn DirPCl nl <br />The Division of Minerals and Geology is planning the reclamation <br />work at the Hawk's Nest Mine this fall. In my last letter, I <br />mentioned that part of Old Highway 133 may be closed temporary <br />during the demolition of the coal silos. In your letter dated June <br />24, 1993, you expressed concern that the roadway is used to access <br />a mine site, and some type of provision will need to be addressed. <br />Both mines in the vicinity, West Elk and Somerset have been <br />notified of the proposed demolition and the partial closure of old <br />highway 133. Please note that the road will be closed only at the <br />west end of the highway, and both operators will be able to access <br />the mines through their main entry. <br />With the demolition of the coal silos, a portion of the old highway <br />may be damaged and require repair. The Division is requesting from <br />your department, construction and repair specifications to repair <br />the potentially damaged highway. These specifications will be used <br />by the awarded contractor for repair at the completion of the <br />project. <br />The Division anticipates demolition work to be conducted in mid- <br />November to December. Please send the repair specifications to the <br />Division as soon as possible. <br />If you have any questions or need additional information, please do <br />not hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />S. <br />Erica S.
