I <br />i~ <br />2. Mine Site: Backfilling and grading operations at the Mine Site commenced during December, 1993 <br />as part of "Reclamation Project I ". The reclamation areas encompassed by Project I are shown on <br />attached 1993 Annual Reclamation Map, Mine Site. <br />EFMC initiated Project I by backfilling a portion of the pre-law highwall west of the shop building <br />through the end of the reporting period. The backfill location is shown as Highwall Backfill on the <br />above referenced map. Approximately 1900 ccy of overburden was removed from the raw coal pad area <br />and placed against the highwall. The area involved in the backfilling operations was approximately OL3 <br />acres. <br />Tonsoiled Areas <br />No areas were topsoiled during the reporting period. <br />Current and Previous Revege[ated Areas <br />EFMC did not revegetate or augment seed any areas during the reporting period. <br />No previous permanent vegetation planting has been completed within the Raton Creek permit area. <br />Conclusions <br />EFMC's reclamation work is accomplishing timely completion of permanent reclamation in accordance <br />with the permit application. Current reclamation practices effectively minimize overall site disturbance <br />and promote establishment of the site to its approved post-mining land use, <br />~i <br /> <br /> <br />
