<br />disposal area number 2. The slopes
<br />above the first fifty foot benoh are
<br />currently approved to be constructed
<br />at a slope angle of five horizontal

<br />foot bench can be safely constructed
<br />at a slope angle of three horizontal to
<br />one vertical. The factor of safety of
<br />the coal mine waste pile with the new
<br />slope angle exceeds 1.5.
<br />The mine facilities are located north of
