Page 2 of 2 <br />Rule 2.04.4 — Cultural and Historic Resource Information <br />1. Attached are the comments from the State Historic Preservation Officer in regard to the <br />proposed PR -7. Please address the issues raised in the letter. <br />The new Elk Creek East Federal Coal Lease, COC- 70615, is 725.9 acres in size and contains an <br />estimated 3.96 million tons of coal. Because this is a new lease, a mine plan modification will be <br />required pursuant to 30 CFR 30 CFR 746.18(d)(4). When all the Division's adequacy questions and <br />comments are satisfied, the Division will issue a proposed decision and findings. The Division's <br />proposed decision will be forwarded to OSM for inclusion in the decision document submitted to the <br />Secretary of Interior for approval. Secretarial approval is required prior to entering the new lease area. <br />Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this letter. <br />Sincerely, <br />A <br />Brock Bowles <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosures: AVS, SHPO comments <br />
