<br />David Berry <br />January 22, 1996 <br />Page 3 <br />By mid 1995, EFCI determined that the plan to breach the ]North seals could not be <br />approved by MSHA. Plans were then made and implemented to drain water within the <br />mine from t North into 2 North, where it would then be pumped into the West Mains <br />as approved in the permit. This system was initiated in August 1995, and use of the <br />North Well ended by the end of August 1995. <br />2) The AHR discusses mine inflow monitoring performed on an opportunistic basis. This <br />monitoring provides monitoring of inflows at least semi-annually. Some inflows occur <br />intermittently or for short durations (refer to AHR Table 2) and may only be <br />monitored one time during the twelve-month period. In addition, retreat mining and <br />sealing operations sometimes eliminate the opportunity to monitor inflows semi- <br />annually. EFCI has revised Table 2 to show monitoring dates, and attached a copy <br />hereto for your records. <br />3) The quantities shown on Table 2 coincide with the 1994 AIIR reporting period of July <br />1994, through June 1995. <br />Recommendation Stipulation <br />1) No response required. <br />2) EFCI agrees that Stipulation No. 6 can be terminated. <br />3) EFCI will provide a minor revision to include the provisions of Stipulation No. 18 by <br />adding specific language to Section 2.05.6 and/or Exhibit 25. <br />4) EFCI agrees that Stipulation No. 15 can be terminated. Stipulation No. 16, according <br />to the permit Findings of Compliance dated June 24, 1994, has been terminated. <br />Additionally, EFCI suggests terminating Stipulation No. 24 (addressed by Technical <br />Revision No. 20). <br />Please contact me at your convenience if you have any questions or require additional <br />information. <br />Sincerely, <br />Allen S.
