EFCI <br />actively mined and processed coal during the reporting period. EFCI filed for temporary <br />cessation of operations as of December 18, 2000. <br />Included with this report are text, discussion, and maps, in accordance with the requirements of <br />Rule 2.04.13. In addition, the Division's Annual Reclamation Report form is completed and <br />attached hereto. <br />Disturbed. Backfilled. and Toosoiled Ar <br />Areas disturbed during the reporting period were limited to increasing the azea for disposal of <br />coal processing waste. This disturbed area is located on the southwest corner of the_ existing <br />Refuse Disposal Area (RDA). The additional disturbance of approximately 1.2 acres is shown on <br />Figure 1, Refuse Disposal Area, attached hereto for reference. <br />No backfilling was performed during the reporting period. Any backfilling operations are <br />anticipated to commence following closure of the mine. <br />Soil cover, including topsoil, was placed on approximately 1 acre of the refuse pile during the <br />above referenced increase of refuse disposal area. The azea covered and topsoiled within the <br />RDA is shown on Figure 1, Refuse Disposal Area, attached hereto for reference. <br />r <br />No seeding or planting was performed during the reporting period. Seeding and mulching of the <br />topsoiled area of the RDA will be completed when a contractor is available to do the work. <br />Current and Previous Rev@getated Areas <br />All previously revegetated areas are shown on the attached 2000 Annual Reclamation Report <br />maps for the Loadout Area (Figure 2) and Refuse Disposal Area (Figure 1). Previously <br />revegetated areas on the refuse pile exhibit good growth and are effectively controlling erosion. <br />At the loadout area the permanent vegetation establishment is improving following the previous <br />year's re-seeding. <br />
