RTHWEST PIPELINE CORPORATIO' <br />June 12, 1979 <br />Don Henderson <br />To: Dave Roberts <br />wa <br />Mui 61q <br />Subject: OSM Compliance <br />~ ~ <br />a:~~ ~ <br />MEMORANDUM <br />No.: <br />From: Al Amun s`o <br />~sieo l/ <br />-norr <br />Of principal importance in complying with OSM and the Mine Land <br />Reclamation rules are: <br />1. That we do not leave our permit boundary. <br />2. That any time we disturb land we remove the brush <br />first, then remove the topsoil and then use the land. <br />We cannot simply place material on top of topsoil, <br />nor can we place mine gob or coal on unaffected land, <br />or brush or any kind of topsoil. <br />Also of prime importance is that we maintain the drainaoe of the coal <br />pile so that the bench that we load off of slopes back toward the coal pile <br />and down toward the ditch that feeds the Idorris pond. If necessary this <br />• must be reestablished after each train. <br />Also of importance is that we clean the coal south of the tracks <br />after each train. Also, that we continue to clean the gob from south of <br />the tracks and get rid of it. These are things that are in progress and <br />that we have told the Kline Land Reclamation Board and 05M that we will <br />take care of, If we drop the ball we loose considerable credibility and <br />maybe our opportunity to operate a mine. k'e need everyone's cooperation <br />in cleaning up our habits in this operation. <br />Dave, I know part of our problem is that our truck drivers and <br />equipment operators are not aware of some of the problems of just radomly <br />dumping material in the bushes. If you could have a talk with your <br />operators and explain to them the importance of disposing the material <br />in the correct place, not dumping it on bushes or on topsoil, this will <br />save us considerable time and effort. <br />If there are any questions with regard to the areas that we can <br />use or procedures, don't hesitate to contact Dave Hettinger, or call me. <br />AA/boo <br />cc: Dave Hettinger <br />• E.
