The funds will be used to finance <br /> construction of two projects designed to remediate hazards at the Coal <br /> Basin Mine which threaten public health and safety, and which pose <br /> environmental risks. <br /> The Division is proposing to construct a new stream channel for Dutch <br /> Creek in the vicinity of the wash plant, and to alleviate the potential <br /> land slide to occur from a portion of the Old Refuse Pile. The stream <br /> channel construction project is our highest priority. There is no <br /> money available from the reclamation bond to perform either of these <br /> projects. <br /> Enclosed are descriptions of the two proposed Coal Basin Mine <br /> reclamation projects, and a location map. The final stages of project <br /> development will be undertaken in the late spring and early summer of <br /> 1997 . Construction will begin in late 1997 or 1998 . <br /> Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or comments. <br /> Sincer <br /> -a <br /> Michael B Long <br /> Director <br /> CC: David Bucknam <br /> Steven Renner <br /> Cheryl Linden <br />
