The funds <br /> will be used to finance construction of a reclamation project designed to remediate an identified <br /> hazard at the Coal Basin Mine. This hazard potentially threatens public health and safety, and <br /> poses environmental risks. <br /> The Division is proposing to alleviate the potential of a land slide from occurring on a portion of the <br /> Old Refuse Pile immediately above and adjacent to Dutch Creek. There is no money available from <br /> the reclamation bond to perform this project. <br /> Enclosed is a description of the proposed Project at the Coal Basin Mine. The final stages of project <br /> development will be undertaken in the late spring and early summer of 1999. Construction will <br /> begin in late 1999 or 2000. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of this request for Civil Penalty Funds. Please feel free to contact <br /> myself, David Bucknam or Steve Renner if you have questions or comments, or should you require <br /> additional information. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Michael B.
