Loch'nead <br />Eteculive Director <br />Michazl B. Long <br />Division Director <br />The Division has reviewed your recently submitted Notice of Intent to Explore (CX-97-222) and <br />has found the docttment to be adequate with the exception of a plan describing the location of <br />the drill pad, mud pits, and overall drilling operation to Middle Creek at Site 97001 along with a <br />clear plan to minimize impact of the drilling operation on the stream. Upon receipt of a <br />satisfactory plan and a bond for the first increment of drill sites: 97001, 97002, 97003, 97004, <br />97005, 97006, 97007, 97008, 97009, totaling $29,423.00, the Division can issue permission to <br />explore. <br />Please note that the exploration permit will be contingent on the following additional items. <br />(1) Before cotnmencing activities at sites 97001 and 97004, Twentymile Coal Company must <br />submit documents demonstrating that you have received cleazance from the surface landowners <br />to access those locations. <br />(2) Please submit azchaeological cleazances for all sites covered by the NOI prior to drilling. <br />The Division has determined that your calculation of a bonding total of $50,356.00 is sufficient <br />for the exploration work. Since you plan to bond only for exploration drill sites 97001, 97002, <br />97003, 97004, 97005, 97006, 97007, 97008, and 97009, you aze required to post only the total <br />needed to cover those sites: $29, 423.00. A further stipulation requires that you must notify the <br />Division and post the remainder of the bond - $20, 933.00 -before exploration is undertaken in <br />any fashion at the remaining sites 970(0 and 97011. <br />Please contact me with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />ames R.
