These refinements resulted in modifications to the facility plans in the area near <br />the portal. None of the changes will result in modifications to the Reclamation Plan, existing disturbance <br />area boundary or have any affect on the existing bond. The modifications will primarily result in changes <br />to the Drainage and Sediment Control Plan (and associated maps) and the Operations plan. <br />Major changes include a relocation of the coal handling facilities pad and access road, and relocation of <br />the upper coal stockpile sump to an area closer to the new coal handling pad. The total amount of <br />material removed for portal excavation will remain the same. <br />This submittal includes a replacement for the existing approved Operations Plan (Sections 2.05.2 and <br />2.05.3), revised North and South End Facilities Maps (2.05.3-MIA and 2.05.3-M1B), and the Sediment <br />and Drainage Control Plan (SedCAD runs for new and relocated ditches and sumps, ditch profile maps, <br />and sump design maps). New and revised PAP materials are identified by the attached Summary of <br />Revisions/Additions and Insertion Instructions. <br />We would appreciate your consideration and cooperation in facilitating timely review and approval of this <br />submittal. Once you have had opportunity to review this submittal package, please feel free to contact me <br />at 970-870-2751 with any questions or comments. <br />Best regar s, <br />B.
