We still feel that the <br />plans for disposal of tipple demolition debris and coolly material on an upper bench at the <br />tipple represent the best approach relative to both operational and environmental <br />considerations. The associated permitting, consultation, and documentation requirements <br />outlined in the DMG's Technical Adequacy Letter would, however, be too time- <br />consuming, costly, and onerous to address, so Kerr will identify and evaluate other potential <br />disposal options. <br />Following review of potential material disposal options, we anticipate preparation and <br />submittal of a new Technical Revision request addressing this component of the Tipple <br />reclamation plans. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding this <br />transmittal. <br />Sincerely, <br />~, Montgomery Watson Mining Group for <br />Kerr Coal Company <br />I Ci^-'~~~ ~r <br />Jerry ettleton <br />Senior roject Manager <br />JMN:sIw <br />cc: G.
