Lochhead <br />Ezttutive Director <br />Michael B. LOng <br />Divrsion Director <br />You recently asked DMG to prepare a description of the methods we use to evaluate <br />contemporaneous reclamation at a surface coal mlmng operation. Enclosed is a brief summary <br />of some of the comparisons DMG inspectors make, while on site or reviewing aerial <br />photographs, to determine whether reclamation operations are contemporaneous with mining <br />operations. In addition to these general observations, DMG inspectors may also focus on a <br />number of site-specific reclamation requirements which are not included in this list. <br />If you have questions or are in need of additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />L~I.Qh <br />Susan L Burgmai <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Enclosure: <br />c: DMG Coal Program Staff, w/enclosure <br />SLB\060996.NT <br />
