RALS& GEOLOGY <br /> SUBJECT: Coal Basin Tract <br /> 4 <br /> The Forest Service has a limited time option to acquire a 405 acre <br /> parcel where the Mid-Continent Coal Company processing plant is <br /> being removed. The remaining patented acreage in Coal Basin has <br /> been acquired over time through the completion of several different <br /> land exchanges. That acreage was included when additional values <br /> were needed to complete an exchange. <br /> The District has asked that three specific concerns be addrepsed. <br /> These concerns include 1) an area where Dutch Creek may undercut a <br /> coal spoils pile, 2) the twin portals and proposed closure method, <br /> and 3) points along the road network where slides could occur. <br /> ! <br /> � I <br /> ; \ i <br /> i 10 <br /> i <br /> carp face <br /> i Twin portals <br /> i (see Figure 4) Coal Cr! <br /> ' A!j ti <br /> i <br /> �i <br /> ' 15 Dutch Cr �� S p 0 i I S P i I@ <br /> 14 <br /> (see Figure 2) <br /> White River NF <br /> ; <br /> ! 0 0.5 !
