Unless someone has a major conflict the date of this meeting will be January 18, <br />1994, 9:00 am, Room 323. <br />Upon further discussion with Marcus the plan is to discuss plans fo:r the Waste pile in the <br />morning. Issues here aze: <br />1) Plans to provide a demonstration that less that 4 feet cover will be able to <br />achieve the requirements of Rules 4.10.4(5) and 4.15. <br />2) Additionally, CEC wants to look into revising portal 9 waste pile plans to <br />allow for above grade fill of pile. Current permit only allows use of Portal 9 waste <br />area up to original grade. <br />3) CEC wants to assure that providing a variance demonstration does not put <br />them in opposition of Rule 4.13 Contemporaneous Reclamation. <br />Dan, you'll probably only want to be a part of the discussion involved with setting up the <br />demonstration. I do not know if they have plans to do a series o1' different plots akin to <br />Roadside, only that are proposing a gradient of maybe 2-4 ft. cover. We can discuss this <br />topic first so you won't need to sit through the entire meeting. <br />Also at this meeting CEC wants to find out in advance what sampling, and baseline data <br />they will need to gather for the mine plan expansion PR that they hope to submit in May. <br />By sitting down with us in January they hope to be able to collect sill items this Spring, i.e. <br />Spring and Seep Survey, Wildlife Surveys, prior to PR submittal. So Barb, you may want <br />to wait until we get to this stage of the meeting before you need to attend to address water <br />issues. <br />
