XV. Operations Description - Rules 2.05.2, 2.05.3(2) and 4.01 <br /> Mine operations within the proposed revision area will proceed as addressed in <br /> the original application and the July, 1987 Findings Document. Anticipated <br /> annual coal production will remain at 90,000 to 120,000 tons. Acquisition of <br /> the lease modification does not extend the mine life, but replaces unmineable <br /> reserves in the current permit area. <br /> The operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br /> XVI. Explosives - Rules 2.05.3(6) and 4.08 <br /> The specific findings required under this section which were made in the <br /> July, 1987 Findings Document have not been modified by the proposed revision <br /> and those findings remain applicable. <br /> The operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br /> XVII.

The discussion in the <br /> July, 1987 Findings Document regarding roof fall storage and backstowing <br /> operations remains applicable. <br /> The operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section. <br /> XIX.
