As shown on the current Surface and Coal Ownership, and Mine Plan Maps (Maps 1, 2, and 23, <br />respectively), a small tract on the western edge of the Western Mining District (WMD) was previously un-leased <br />Federal coal. We have now secured the Federal lease for this tract. The requested Permit Revision incorporates <br />this area into our approved mine plan; reflects extension of ongoing development (previously approved under <br />PR06-07, TR07-63, and TR07-64) to the limits of the WMD; and addresses longwall mining of the WMD reserves. <br />This submittal includes the completed Permit Revision application form; the proposed public notice; our <br />reclamation cost estimate; and revised PAP text and supporting materials, as identified by the attached Summary of <br />Revisions/Additions. As development is an ongoing activity in this area, it is critical that we proceed expeditiously <br />with review and approval of this revision. We, therefore, appreciate your consideration, cooperation, and assistance <br />in facilitating timely review and approval of this revision application. After you have opportunity to review the <br />accompanying information, please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss submittal materials or <br />related matters. <br />Best regards, <br />Twentymile Coa pany <br />Jerry M. ttl on <br />Environ e 1 Manager <br />cc: Mike Berdine/TCC <br />r- <br />File: G:\Environmental\Revision\Permit-RV\PR09-08 WMD\PR09-08 WMD Development & Mining TL
