The pad arras will be ferti[ized (30-0-0, minimum NPK), seeded with the <br />approved seed mix, and mulched (cxrtified weed-free straw). <br />7. The access mods will be restored as closely as possible to the apprvadmate <br />original colour, re-seeded, fertilized, and mulched as above. <br />8. The drill pads and access roads reclamation ~procedme outlined above will <br />apply only !b those areas newly disnabed for this proposed project. Existing <br />roads will be left in a condition equal to or better than that observed on <br />Mo~mtav~ Coal Coma's entry imo the area. <br />9. Any coal recovered incidentally to tilts project will be in the form of cuttings or <br />core and would either be taken hack to the mine site or disposed of in the mud <br />pits. <br />Drilling of these wells is anAicipated to coannence November 11, 2005 depending on drill <br />rig availability and USFS approval. It will take approximately 3 days Gn drill and <br />complete each of the hole(s) and another week to perform interim reclamation. <br />The tenor, of use is variable due to levels of gases frnmd in the mine es a rrstilt of tbe <br />drilling and the level of success of pumping water, foam, and nitrogen into the mine. <br />MEASURES TO BE USED TO COMPLY W1Tf1 P1~tk~ORMANCE STANDARDS <br />FOR THE PROJECT (43 CFR 34841(a) 30 CFR 815.15 and Colorado Division of <br />Minerals and Geoloev Rules and Regulations) <br />1.

Gas is <br />known to be encannter>rd after mining in previous methane drainage holes in the area. <br />CHSltig wr71 be set in each Note 8S necessary to maintain cirrnlatiOn of CnttingS4 t0 the <br />surface. <br />3. Drill hole plugging requirements. <br />In accordance with the Coal Program Guidance Document -Methane Drainage aril <br />Monitoring Wells, MCC will plug and abandon these MDWs per DMG Rules 2.05.4 and <br />
