• 2.06.4 Steep Slope Mirririq <br />As discussed in Sectiorrs2.C>5.3 arrd 2.~~5.4, the La F'lata #1 <br />Coal Mime er~tr•ies are located .ire an cold p~~r•tal face-yap area <br />that has been used since 1905. The ~_tse of these cold portal <br />areas will reduce the ant~~~.rr~t ~~f disturbance riecessar•y tc. <br />conduct the ~.tnderground mining operaticrr~s. These portals <br />arse located in an area where the sly-apes arse greater than~~r <br />degrees; ar~d ther•efor•e, La F'lata Coal C_~r•p. has the portals <br />~~r~ an area which car. be classified as steep slopes. <br />No reclarnatic~r, w~=~r•k, has beers per•for•r~ted on the face-r_rp area <br />grid access r•nad ir~t~:~ the pc~r•tals.
