As mentioned above, there are 6 tracts totalling 142 acres to be

were removed from the surface of area "A" prior to (7-1-73). Mining
of the remaining acreage in area "A" will take approximately one year.
Areas "B" through "E" will follow according to the above mentioned
schedule. The mining of area "B" will begin with the removal of topsoil
and overburden materials. The total thickness of the topsoil and
overburden materials averages 2 to 3 feet. All topsoil and overburden
