We have reviewed the Roadside and Cameo No. 1 Mines mining plan in accordance
with the memorandum of understanding between BLPf-USGS(MMS)-OSP1. The plan is
technically adequate for: (1) post mining land use proposals, and (2) con-
sistency with stipulations required by the lease.
The unsuitability criteria have been applied to the leases (permit area) and
no part of the 7,491-acre tract is unsuitable for underground coal mining
operations.
Having found the area suitable for mining, we recommend the approval of the
Roadside and Cameo No. 1 Mines mining plan and further recommend that a mining
permit be issued provided the following stipulations are included in the
permit:
1) The lessee will obtain a written agreement from all right-of-way grantees
for permission to conduct mining and associated operations within the area of
their right-of-way or for relocation of the right-of-way to the satisfaction
of the grantee. A copy of this agreement will be furnished to the BLM.
2) In the event that it is necessary to relocate a right-of-way or easement,
consultation shall take place between the right-of-way holder and the lessee.
All costs involved in the location will be borne by the lessee.
3) Where underground mining is to take place, monitoring for impact to known
site locations will be required in those areas where subsidence has been
determined to be occurring, or where there is a possibility that it may be
occurring. All monitoring of sites is to be carried out by a qualified
archaeologist. If subsidence is determined to be affecting cultural resources,
the BLM, Grand Junction Resource Area Manager will be notified and appropriate
