Walchcr <br />E>ecuYvc Diretlor <br />Michael B. Long <br />Division Direcloi <br />The Office of Surface Mining (OSM) has requested that the Division of Minerals and Geology (DMG) report <br />the number of reclaimed acres, bond release acres and disturbed acres each year. This request comes from <br />the OSM as part of their responsibilities under the Government Performance and Results Act. DMG has <br />compiled the majority of the information that was requested. However, we do not have the disturbed area <br />broken into the categories OSM would like to see, and therefore i am requesting that you include the <br />following acreage in your future Annual Reclamation Reports. <br />Acres in long-term minim or reclamation facilities: includes haul and access roads; temporary dams <br />and impoundments; permanent dams and impoundments; diversion and collector ditches, water and <br />air monitoring sites; topsoil stockpiles; overburden stockpiles; repair, storage and construction areas; <br />coal stockpiles, loading, and processing areas; railroads; coal conveyors; refuse piles and coal [nine <br />waste impoundments; head-of-hollow fills: valley fills; ventilation shafts and entryways; and noncoal <br />waste disposal area (garbage damps and coal combustion by-products disposal areas). <br />Acres in active mining areas: includes pits and areas in advance of the pits stripped of topsoil; and <br />areas no[ yet back£Iled and graded. <br />Acres seeded/planted for last 10 years or more <br />Please include these numbers in your next Annual Reclamation Report (ARR). A revised from is attached for <br />~JUi Writ/ CliieDCC. <br />Please call me or Sandra Brown if you have any questions regarding this request. Thank-you for your <br />assistance. <br />Sinq~rely <br />/i <br />C'~' ''//~ <br />gBerry <br />CDo~I~Program Supervisor <br />Attachment <br />v <br />
