-g- <br />Airfield Reclamation - The landowner has voiced complaints that his <br />airstrip area a ong t e ampa River has been rendered useless due to Sun Coal <br />Company's reclamation activities. Based on the permit application, the <br />approved PMLU for this area is pastureland. The Division finds that due to <br />the extremely rocky conditions which exist on the surface of this reclaimed <br />area, that the PMLU of pastureland has not been met. <br />Stock Piles - The landowner has complained that two areas along the <br />road whereas axis piles exist preclude the approved PMLU on these areas. He <br />states that these piles are dangerous to his cattle and decrease the area <br />available for grazing area. The operator contends that the piles are small, <br />and provide good wildlife habitat. During field inspections it has been noted <br />that other slash piles exist on the landowner's property which are not <br />affiliated with Sun Coal. The Division finds that the slash piles do not <br />interfere with the approved PMLU, which is grazing and wildlife habitat. <br />Based on these specific findings the Division has issued a proposed decision <br />to approve in part, the bond release reouest for the Meadows No. 1 Mine. This <br />proposed decision is contained in the "Proposed Decision" section of this <br />report. <br />
