<br />ANNUAL RECLAMATION REPORT <br />• FOIDEL CREEK MINE <br />PERMIT C-82-056 <br />This report addresses the surface disturbances associated with <br />the underground mining operations conducted by Twentymile Coal <br />Company. TCC mines federal and private coal in Routt County, <br />Colorado utilizing a retreating longwall system. As such, surface <br />disturbances have been limited to surface support facilites <br />consisting of small acreages. Currently, TCC is responsible for <br />approximately 65 acres of disturbance consisting of the Fish Creek <br />Borehole, Sandstones Substation, Fish Creek Tipple, Rockdust Tank, <br />and Surface Facilities in the area of the portal(shaded portions of <br />Figure 1). The surface facilities are located in and on old spoils <br />produced by the CYCC Mine 1 operation during the 70's, with the <br />portals driven into the old low wall remnant. Given that the <br />current disturbance is limited to those areas necessary for <br />operation of the mine, TCC does not anticipate any large scale <br />reclamation to be undertaken in the near future. At such time as <br />reclamation commences, TCC will follow the approved reclamation <br />plan found in Permit C-82-056 using the approved seed mixtures <br />(Tables 2-4). <br />A summary of the current surface disturbance and reclamation <br />present within the Foidel Mine permit boundaries are found in Table <br />1. Those parcels already reclaimed within the shaded areas by CYCC <br />• will remain the responsibility of CYCC. For a more complete <br />discussion of the surface areas involved, refer to Permit C-82-056. <br />• <br />
