On September <br />20, 2010 the DRMS approved and incidental permit boundary revision <br />through TR -68. This 80 acre permit boundary expansion allowed the <br />Operator to begin developing mains, headgate entries and tailgate entries <br />west of Terror Creek. <br />The coal reserves located west of Terror Creek are referred to as the <br />western mining district. New panels in the western mining district will be <br />numbered B -10 through B -18. The western mining district will require a new <br />ventilation shaft and three or more gob vent bore holes per panel. Permit <br />Revision No. 12 (PR -12) gave the Operator approval to develop and mine in <br />the western mining district west of Terror Creek. <br />During 2009 the Operator washed coal for West Elk Coal Company, <br />(WECC). WECC hauled raw E -Seam coal to BRL's lower stockpile area. <br />The Operator ran WECC's coal through the preparation plant. WECC <br />delivered 521,625 tons of raw coal to the Operator's lower stockpile area. <br />The Operator washed this coal producing 351,601 tons of clean coal. The <br />waste material generated was hauled back to WECC's disposal area by a <br />WECC contractor. The Operator loaded and shipped 351,601 tons of clean <br />coal for WECC. This process took place from January 14, 2009 through <br />September 13, 2009. <br />The following table shows the major equipment to be used in the mine and <br />on the surface. <br />2.05 -8- 11/11/10 <br />
