XVIII. Coal Processing Waste and Non-Coal Processing Waste - Rules 2.05.3(8),
and 4.11
Temporary surface storage of limited amounts of the underground waste
generated by the operation and its eventual backstowing in worked out
sections of the mine are practices currently approved for the mine.
Continuation of these practices has been proposed for the future
operation. As a result of recent changes in the regulations of the
Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, however, coal
processing and underground development waste are no longer
differentiated. All such material is considered coal mine waste and
subject to the same regulations. Consequently, the storage and disposal
practices approved for the mine in regard to coal mine waste must be
revised to conform with current rules. Therefore, the following
stipulation is made:
Stipulation No. 07:
WITHIN 90 DAYS OF APPROVAL OF PERMIT REVISION (PR) NO. 2,
NATIONAL KING COAL WILL SUBMIT A PLAN IN THE FORM OF A TECHNICAL
REVISION TO THE PERMIT BOTH ACCEPTABLE TO THE DIVISION AND THAT
PROVIDES FOR THE PERMANENT DISPOSAL OF THE COAL MINE WASTE
GENERATED BY THE MINE. THE PLAN SHALL INCLUDE AN ESTIMATE OF THE
AMOUNT OF COAL MINE WASTE TO BE PRODUCED AND SHALL COMPLY WITH THE
APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF RULES 2.05.3(8), 2.05.3(9), 2.05.300), 4.10
AND 4.11 .
With the acceptance of this stipulation by the operator, the proposed
operation is in compliance with the requirements of this section.
XIX. Mine Facilities, Coal Handling Structures and Support Facilities;
Roads and Ponds, impoundments and Diversions - Rules .05.3(4),
and 4.U5
The specific findings required under this section which were made in the
July, 1987 Findings Document (Renewal ) have not been modified by the
proposed revision and those findings remain applicable.
The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this
section.
XX. Bonding - Rules 2.05.4(2) (b) and 3
The specific findings required under this section which were made in the
July, 1987 Findings Document (Renewal ) have not been modified by the
proposed revision and those findings remain applicable. The addition of
the 480 acres involved in proposed PR No. 2 which will be mined by means
of the extension of current workings does not increase the amount of
surface disturbance of the mine or the cost of its reclamation.
The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this
section.
