<br />Mr. Gregg Squire <br />Page Two <br />August 20, 1986 <br />To further facilitate the review process, Empire Energy would like to <br />briefly discuss the major revisions which are included in the Permit <br />Revision Document. These are: <br />• Life-of-Mine Plan <br />• No. 9 Portal Waste Disposal Site <br />• Minor Permit Boundary Changes <br />• Williams Fork Strip Pit - Reclamation Plan <br />• Town Loadout - Reclamation Plan <br />• Deleted Information <br />Life-of-Mine Plan <br />The Life-of-Mine Plan (Map 22) has been revised to graphically display <br />the current mining philosophy of Empire Energy. This includes the <br />layout of the No. 5 Mine ("F" Coal Seam), the No. 6 Mine layout ("E" <br />Coal Seam). and the abandonment of the No. 9 Mine ("P" Coal Seam). <br />Empire Energy has taken great care in the development of the mine plan <br />maps. The No. 5 Mine Plan Map (Map 23) has been developed using state <br />of the art drafting techniques employing screening and an elaborate <br />overlay system. The overlay system is felt to be crucial in aiding <br />the division in reviewing the possible impacts of longwall mining. <br />The No. 5 Mine Plan Map (Map 23) will allow the review of 1) Longwall <br />mining only, 2) Longwall over longwall mining, 3) Old room and pillar <br />(partial extraction) over longwall mining and 4} Old room and pillar <br />(for extraction) over longwall mining. <br />In addition, Empire Energy has developed a subsidence (Map 30) which <br />graphically shows that no structures or renewable reso4rces will be <br />adversely impacted during the five (5) year permit term requested. <br />Empire Energy has carefully developed its five (5) year mining <br />sequence to stay well away from any water bodies, residences, and <br />major roads. <br />mpireEnergy Corporation <br />P.O.
