RESTORATION RRO~ TTRRMENT FOR P Si OP .MINIM
CEC does not plan to wnduct surface mining. Reclamation activities planned for Williams Fork Strip Pit and No. 9
portal area meet regulatory requirements of restoration of approximate original contour. Since no variance from the
approximate original contour restoration requirements is being requested, this section is not applicable.
CEC conducted a prime farmland investigation for the Eagle mines site as described in Section 2.04.12, Prime
Farmland Investigation. The results of the investigations indicated that the CEC operations will not disturb any lands
which have historically been utilized as farmland. In addition, information obtained from the USDA, Soil
Conservation Service, indicates that none of the soil types found in the disturbed area have been designated as
. indicative of prime farmland conditions. Based upon this information, CEC has requested a negative determination
for the Eagle Mines site with respect to its value as prime farmland.
