To de-commission the culverts, we would propose to cut <br /> off the ends and allow them to fill in. Culverts at stream crossings would remain <br /> in place. <br /> We anticipate use of rock materials in construction of the rolling dips, and would <br /> like to identify various soL4rces which are closest to the work being done on each <br /> of the roads. A great dual of rock material has been deposited along the <br /> channels of Coal, Oil Will and Porcupine Creeks. We would like to remove <br /> rock materials from these areas, without disturbance to the stream itself, for use <br /> as rip rap materials alone the #5 mine road. Rock materials along the #3 Mine <br /> !;toad might be another good source area. MR-34 approved additional rip-rap <br /> source areas, including Dutch Creek, for use on the #4 Mine Road, and this <br /> proposal is essentially to apply the same concept (1,e. removal of debris flow <br /> which is out of the normel stream flow) to allow a shorter distance to the area of <br /> use. <br /> Structures./Foundations <br /> We have been consulting with realtors concerning possible future uses of the <br /> fee land in Coal Basin, and how to put the property in the most salable condition <br /> so as to maximize proceeds to the bankruptcy estate which could, with required <br /> approvals, generate funds needed for reclamation. Generally, the concept of <br /> post-mining uses relates to continuing the current uses of grazing and wildlife, <br /> but also looks to recreational uses such as hunting, hiking, biking and cross- <br /> country skiing. The realtors with whom we have consulted have suggested that <br /> retention of some strucWres would be beneficial to the real estate sales <br /> prospects. We would like (subject to changes in a more definitive plan <br /> development) to retain tiese structures, which are situated on Mid-Continent <br /> property, for future use. <br /> These are: <br /> • The lamphouse at tho rock tunnel • Main warehouse <br /> • The lamphouse at #5 Mine bench • Vehicle repair shop behind warehouse <br /> • The engineering office/ambulance • Some parking <br /> garage <br /> • The bath-house . Some electric utilities <br /> • Water system <br /> The current plan calls for removal of all concrete foundations after buildings <br /> have been removed These foundations are very substantial (difficult to <br /> 4 <br />
