III IIIIIIIIIIIII III Doc Date:12/11/2001 <br />S~- 2.03.8 PERMIT TERM INFORMATION <br />The Meadows No. 1 mine was a surface operation producing coal from <br />the Pinnacle seam. Mining operations were terminated in February 1981, <br />and Permit C-029-81 was issued August 1983 for reclamation only. The <br />reclaimed Meadows No. 1 mine was backfilled and graded in the fall of 1983 <br />and seeded in the spring of 1984. The term of the reclamation permit <br />extends to 1988 with amid-term review in 1985-1986. The permit will be <br />renewed for successive five-year terms until bond liability is terminated by <br />CMLRD. <br />The Mined Land Reclamation Board approved a decommissioning <br />technical haul road revision in a public hearing July 26, 1984. The Meadows <br />No. 1 haul road has been decommissioned from coal hauling to industrial <br />and ranch use. <br />Sun Coal Company completed haul road decommissioning activities in <br />the spring of 1985 and conducted routine road maintenance in 1986. <br />Maintenance activities included repairing water bars, cleaning ditches, and <br />stabilizing small slide areas. <br />Erosion control is the only planned reclamation activity during the new <br />permit term. With the increased vegetation on site there is less erosion <br />each year. The landowner has requested all existing facilities be left as is <br />and Sun Coal has agreed. <br />-42- <br />• (Rev. 7/93) <br />
