3.1.2 General Maps <br />The general maps included in this section are the surface control map (M1), sub- <br />surface control map (M2), permit area map (M3) and the mine plan area map (M4). <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 (M1) 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 Dnpire <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 drag line were employed. Two <br />coal seams, "P" and "O" seams (Trapper's "I" and "L" seams), were recovered Co a <br />maximum depth of 65 Eeet. <br /> <br />3-8 <br />REVISED FEB 13 '87 <br />
