MINE ENGINEERING <br />MINE RECLAMATION <br />April 2, 2012 <br />Janet Binns <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />Re: New Elk Mine Permit C- 1981 -012 <br />Minor Revision No. 112 <br />Expand DWDA <br />Dear Ms. Binns: <br />On behalf of New Elk Coal Company, (NECC) enclosed is an application for a minor revision to slightly <br />increase the size of the develop waste disposal area (DWDA). <br />NECC is running out of room in the DWDA. NECC should be able to submit an application for a technical <br />revision for a west mine DWDA this week or early next week. The expansion work would involve moving <br />two ditches and the haul road about 30 to 50 feet to the north. The 0.6 acre expansion is not significant but <br />should provide additional storage to hold NECC over until the west mine DWDA is approved. <br />The disturbed area will increase by 0.6 acres. The affected area will not increase because the area has been <br />undermined. <br />Please call with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />7 <br />J. E.
