3 .1 .2 General Maps <br /> The general maps included in this section are the surface control map (Ml) , sub- <br /> surface control map (M2) , permit area map (M3) and the mine plan area map (MO . <br /> These general maps identify those areas that Trapper Mining Inc . has the legal <br /> right to enter and those areas where mining and reclamation operations will be <br /> performed . <br /> The surface control map NO identifies Trapper Mining Inc .' s surface ownership <br /> and the surface lease areas . Also, the surface owners of adjacent areas are <br /> shown . The sub-surface control map (M2) identifies Trapper Mining Inc .' s <br /> federal , state , county and private coal leases. The sub-surface control map also <br /> shows the mineral ownership ( the lessors) . <br /> The permit area map (M3) shows the general area in which disturbance will occur <br /> during the five year permit period . The permit area encompasses all mining and <br /> reclamation areas, roads, impoundments, support facilities and other areas <br /> required for the mining , reclamation and environmental monitoring operations. <br /> The mine plan area map (M4) shows by 5-year blocks the areas which will be dis- <br /> turbed over the life of the mine. The timing and location of future 5-year <br /> mining blocks may have to be adjusted as more detailed mine plans are developed <br /> for these areas and as coal sales requirements dictate . <br /> 3 .1 .3 Pre-Permit Mining and Reclamation <br /> The first documented mining within the mine plan area was conducted by Empire <br /> Energy Corporation, a company without affiliations with Trapper Mining Inc . They <br /> are currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Cyprus Coal Co. The company mined an <br /> area referred to as the Williams Fork Strip Pit No. 1 . The mining occurred <br /> during February, 1975, through October, 1975. The operation was a surface-coal <br /> mine where scrapers, trucks , front end loaders and dragline were employed . Two <br /> coal seams, "P" and "0" seams (Trapper' s "I" and 'T' seams) , were recovered to a <br /> maximum depth of 65 feet. <br /> 3-8 <br /> REVISED FEB 13 '87 <br />
