Iii ~; ;,^;;i :'[ iia5~2ii,8` <br />Bear Coal Company requests a minor revision to its existing Recla- <br />mation Plan for the Bear #2 mine. <br />As part of the backfill of the #2 mine, a minor change from the <br />approved plan is being proposed. The proposed backfill now in- <br />volves placement of mine waste material (roof and floor with some <br />coal) on the existing portal level. The material will be placed <br />12 feet to 15 feet back from the edge of the portal bench. The <br />material will be placed against the highwall and have a final <br />slope of not greater than 1V:2II. <br />Material will be placed by trucks and/or scrapers and compacted <br />• to 958 (as possible) Standard Proctor Density. After final place- <br />ment of the waste material, a cover of one (1) foot of clean soil <br />will be placed. The clean soil will be revegetated. The waste <br />material will be obtained from the Mt. Gunnison Mine of the West <br />Elk Coal Company. <br />All responsibility for monitoring and stability of this area, as <br />indicated in Bear Coal Company's M&R Plan will be the responsibility <br />of the Bear Coal Company. <br />A copy of the final as built cross section and volumes of the <br />backfill will be sent to MLRD upon completion. <br />Your timely response to this request would be appreciated as we <br />would like to complete this activity while the weather is still <br />favorable. <br />Should you have any questions, please call 929-5775. <br />Sincerely, <br />William A. Bear <br />President <br />• <br />
