The first sentence of the initial paragraph on page 2.05-5 of the revised text discusses the <br />movement of coal from a small on-site storage stockpile to nearby customers. Map 2.05.3 <br />MIA identifies two coal handling facilities areas labeled 17 and page 2.05-17 discusses two <br />stockpile locations. Please delineate which area, or both, that will be used for on-site <br />storage of coal. <br />Response: Coal storage will occur at both stockpile locations during the initial permit term. It is <br />anticipated that a maximum of 400,000 tons could be stored between the two stockpile areas. <br />The discussion on page 2.05-5 and 2.05-17 has been clarified. <br />2. The first sentence of the fifth paragraph on page 2.05-5 states that "New surface facilities in <br />the Little Grassy Creek watershed will include the mine portal face-up area, temporary <br />topsoil and overburden stockpiles, a coal stockpile, and coal handling facilities. " Map 2.05.3 <br />identifies two coal handling facilities, but no indication is given for the location of the coal <br />stockpile or if there will be coal stored at both coal handling facilities locations. Please <br />discuss and identify on Map 2.05.3 MIA the location of the coal stockpile(s). <br />Response: See response to Item #1 <br />3. The fourth paragraph on page 2.05-13, under the heading Material and Equipment Storage <br />Yards, states that, "Two material and equipment storage yards will be located near the portal <br />area, " and the storage yards will cover an area of approximately 11.5 acres. According to <br />the proposed Map 2.05.3 MIA, there is only one material and equipment storage yard in the <br />south facilities area comprising approximately 4.0 acres. Please determine the correct <br />number of material and equipment storage areas and the appropriate acreage, revise Map <br />2.05.3 MIA and page 2.05.3-13 accordingly. <br />
