WESTERN MINING DISTRICT <br />• WMD (Panels 12 -Left through 20 -Left and 14- and 15 -Left Inby; PR06 -07, PR09 -08, TR07 -63, TR08 -64, TR09- <br />68, TR09 -71) <br />During 2007 -2008, and the subsequent permit term (2008 - 2012), mine development (Phase I, II, and Interim III) will <br />progress in the WMD, with final Phase III development and actual longwall mining proceeding following approval of a <br />permit revision application (PR09 -08) addressing these activities. In preparation for future mining in the WMD, TCC <br />has proceeded with development of main and sub -main entries for Panels 13 -Left through 17 -Left. Alignment of <br />development entries may be adjusted, as necessary, to address geologic conditions. <br />Phase I through Interim Phase III development will result in extension of development in the 18 -, and 17 -Left gate - <br />roads to their furthest western limit, partial development of the 16 -, 15 -, 14, and 13 -Left gate- roads, and full <br />development of the 9- and 10 -North Mains. Development of the 18 -, 17- and 16 -Left gate -roads will extend into <br />the new Federal coal lease (COC- 72980) at the western edge of the WMD. Under the full WMD development and <br />mine plan modification approvals (PR09 -08 and TR09 -71) development of Gate -roads 12 through 20 -Left, 13- <br />through 15 -Left Inby, the associated bleeder entries, and mining of Panels 12- through 20 -Left and 14- and 15 -Left <br />Inby will involve mining coal from Federal Coal Leases COC -20900 (as modified June 22, 2007) and COC- 72980, <br />State lease CO -3229, and fee coal leased by TCC from NRC -CO 1, LLC, LLC. <br />TR09 -71 2.05 -7.2 11/18/09 <br />
