As additional <br />information which may affect the Southfield Permit is obtained and verified, <br />EFCI will work closely with the MLRD to evaluate and address future permitting <br />requirements and scheduling. <br />Southfield's total permit area encompasses approximately 2,733.0 acres. This <br />total includes approximately 2,711.1 acres in the mine area and 21.9 acres in <br />the loadout area. The original permit application submitted by Dorchester in <br />1981 was for a permit area of approximately 1,400 acres. The total permit <br />area increased approximately 190 acres as a result of three incidental boundary <br />revisions submitted during the period form 1986 through 1989. These <br />revisions are presented in exhibit 15, Minor and Technical Revisions. an <br />additional 1,232 acres were added to the permit area as a result of permit <br />revision PR-01 and several small incidental boundary revisions subsequent to <br />late 1990. Modification of the maximum subsidence angle of draw in early <br />1994 and associated changes in the permit boundaries resulted in a net <br />reduction in the permit area of approximately 86 acres. <br />It should be noted that while the total permit area has increased significantly, <br />the surface disturbance area has remained essentially the same at <br />approximately 96 acres. Of this total, the mine disturbance area accounts for <br />approximately 81 acres with the remaining 15 ares of disturbance in the <br />loadout area. <br />• <br />i- <br />C:\BBO\Tfl~33 <br />osm\ne 03:64~m WO 2.05 - 8 Revised -January 1996 <br />
