APR. 6 '98 1: 19PM DMG,GJCT 1 303 2410336 P.3 <br /> t <br /> Cubic yards of refuse will be cut from the Old Refuse file. This inateriul will be transportCd to the <br /> vicinity of the Wash Plant to be stacked upon the concrete rubble generated from the facilities <br /> area demolition. <br /> Division contractors will accomplish the concrete demolition and disposal in the early summer of <br /> 1998 via a separate contract. You may recall that burying the concrete rubble with coal refuse <br /> was described in some detail in the Mid-Continent Resources permit application at Volume 8 <br /> Chapter V, Section D. 3. Thus, demolition and disposal of the concrete foundations, and burying <br /> them beneath coal refuse is n part of the permit. <br /> Thc. Division's accounting of January 23, 1998 did not contain a cost for burying the concrete <br /> rubble with coal refuse. This is because it is the Division's intent to accomplish coverage of the <br /> concrete rubble at no cost to Resources as a result of excavating material from the Old Refuse <br /> pile and placing it on the rubble. The cost of burial would be paid through completion of the <br /> Huntsman Project with Abandoned Mined Land funds,rather than from the Reclamation Fuud <br /> under Resources liquidation plan_ Completion of this project as envisioned will therefore result in <br /> a substantial savings to Mid-Continent Resources. However. if for some ruason (he project <br /> cannot be accomplished, the Division would amend its accounting to include a cost for burial of <br /> the demolished concrete, since the cost would not be expended pursuant to the AML project. <br /> The task of burying the concrete would instead be funded through the liquidation plan, <br /> In order to ensure the feasibility and success of the project,we will need to utilize topsoil to cover <br /> the cut slope at the refuse Pile. (riven the need for the project and the savings to Mid-Continent <br /> Resources,the Division would like the written permission of the Creditors Trustee to utilize the <br /> topsoil stockpiled near the eastern terminus of the former overland conveyor. The volurne of <br /> topsoil estimated in the Mid-Continent Resources permit to be in this stockpile should be <br /> sufficient to accomplish this project. if the Trustee does not allow for the use of this material,the <br /> Huntsman Project may not be viable,and any projected savings to the Reclamation Fund as a <br /> result of accomplishing the project would not be realized. It is our estimation that the volume of <br /> topsoil left in the Sutcy stockpile is sufficient to accomplish reclamation of the mine facilities area, <br /> without relying upon the material at the overland conveyor locating. <br /> CC: Michael Long <br /> David Rucknam <br /> Jim McArdle <br /> c:\sgr\hntltrmc,%vpd <br />
