One intent of the inspection was to examine the gob disposal site <br />expansion area. CAM had requested to expand the gob pile 1/10 of an acre to store coal fines <br />and waste rock generated from the McClane Canyon coal mine operation as they can no longer <br />use the Munger Canyon waste rock disposal area. <br />Based on observations made during the inspection and information contained in the permit <br />revision narrative and maps, this office concurs with the DRMS approval of the proposed plan <br />for the waste disposal site. Our concurrence is subject to the following conditions: <br />1. The BLM shall be notified at least 48 hours prior to commencement of surface disturbing <br />activities. <br />2. The expansion area shall be cleared of trees, snow and heavy brush prior to any construction. <br />Stumps shall be buried in the waste pile. Any stump left in place shall be cut so that the stump <br />height does not exceed 12 inches. All slash less than four inches in diameter shall be chipped <br />or scattered outside the cleared area and must be within 24 inches of the ground at all points. <br />All material four inches in diameter or greater shall be removed from Federal land, unless <br />otherwise directed. A wood permit from BLM for 5 cords shall be required prior to any <br />clearing. <br />United States Department of the Interior <br />BUREAt` OF LA'I'D MANAGEMENT <br />Grand Junction Field Office <br />2815 H Rd <br />Grand Junction, Colorado 81506 <br />www.co.blm.gov/gjra/gjra.html <br />???1 <br />4 ell" <br />/- - °
