CHAPTER 4
LAND USE
4.10 Regional Land Use
The majority of the land use in the Wasatch Plateau is administered by the United States Forest Service and is managed as a multiple use forest area.
4.10.1 Land Use In Mine Plan Area
Prior to 1939, the permit area was used for non-developed recreation, grazing by native big galne species and habitat for small game and non-game animals. From 1939 until 1955, the area was mined by traditional room and pillar methods. Approximately 35,000 tons were removed from the Hiawatha Seam. When mining operations were terminated in 1955, the land reverted to its original uses. In 1983, lnining activities were resumed. At present, cattle are moved through the canyon to grazing areas at higher elevations. Riparian areas are grazed during the movement through the canyon. A land use map has been prepared and is included as Plate 4-2.
Mining in the South Crandall lease and the U-68082 lease mod area will not affect the present land use of the area. The area is classified as rangeland. The existing landuse wil1 continue during, as well as following, mining in this area. Refer to Plate 4-2.
After mining operations cease, the mine site surface area will be restored to its approximate original contours. The access road will be left in place, pursuant to the wishes of the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) the surface landowner.
4.11 Premining
The premining use of the land was for dispersed non-developed recreation, native wildlife habitats and dispersed cattle grazing. The wildlife habitats within the mine area are described in Appendix 3.2 and 3.3.
The area was used for a previous mining operation. The previous operation prepared level areas to al10w access to the coal seam and for coal loading operations. This made the area more accessible to the general public and to the present mining operation.
The previous operation left lumber, deteriorating buildings, fuel and oil cans, and various other trash in the area. A portion of the existing vegetation was also disturbed with no evidence of revegetation.
I 'CO RA E
r L~) & MINING 07/98 Revised 04/99 4-1
• After reclamation, the area will be restored to support premining land uses. Vegetation will be restored to provide habitat and a food source for wildlife. It is expected that the cattle grazing will continue after reclamation. The access road will remain pursuant to the wishes of the USFS and to support underdeveloped recreation.
4.11.1 Historic Land Use
The Manti-La Sal Division of the United States Forest Service has this area shown on their land use lnap as suitable for dispersed, non-developed recreation, and limited grazing as the slopes are steep. There is not enough of the necessary vegetation for extensive grazing. It is also classified as unsuitable for logging operations as conifer is only a marginal component of the area.
Crandall Canyon is not actually being used as summer range for cattle, but cattle are moved through the canyon to grazing areas at higher elevations. Because the cattle are moved through the canyon, although undesirable, grazing does occur without noticeable depletion of vegetation in the riparian zone. It is expected that sporadic cattle grazing will continue after mine life.
By returning the disturbed area to its original contour, the canyon outside the riparian zone will be too steep for grazing by other than native wildlife. Wildlife grazing and habitat will be part of the postmining land use.
Plate 4-1 shows the grazing allotment boundaries of the existing permit area and the South Crandall lease area and the U-68082 lease mod area. Plate 4-3 presents the oil and gas analysis areas as well as the existing gas wells.
4.11.110 Surface Land StatuslMine Plan Area
Ownership of the surface rights within and contiguous to the mine plan and permit area is shown on Plates 1-1, 5-3 and 4-1. The surface within the lease areas and the contiguous lands are administered by the USFS. Also as shown on Plate 1-1 there are no structures within 1000' of the mine permit area.
4.11.112 Ownership
The United States Government under the supervision of the Manti-La Sal National Forest owns most of the surface rights in the immediate area of the pennit and mine plan area as shown on Plates 1-1 and 4-4.

4.11.113 Surface Managing Authorities
The United States Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Intermountain Region is the surface managing authority.
4.11.114 Utility Corridors and Other Right-Of-Ways
No utility corridors or other rights-of-way exist on the surface within the existing permit area nor the U-68082 lease mod area. A utility corridor exists within the permit area in the South Crandall lease area. See Plate 4-2. There are no surface or subsurface mad-made features within or passing over the permit or Incidental Boundary Change areas.
There has been no change in the premining use of the land within the last five years.
4.11.115 Affect Of Operation On Land Use
GENW AL feels that greater portion of permit area will not be affected by mining operations and that premining land use will be applicable except for the disturbed area surrounding the portals and the access road.
The maximum area of possible subsidence is shown on Plate 5-2 as the area contained within the zero subsidence contours. As explained in Chapters 5 and 7 no adverse effects are expected to occur as a result of the subsidence mechanisms and no mitigation measures are proposed. In the event subsidence damages or alters streams, roads, etc. GENW AL will repair or replace such structures in conjunction with prudent and reasonable environmental designs and in compliance and agreement with USFS lease stipUlations.
4.11.12 Land CapabiJity
In the Manti-La Sal National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP), 1986, the Forest Service has developed certain management objectives for the area. The permit area includes four separate management units.
The bottom of Crandall Canyon is included in the MMA (Leasable Minerals Area) Management Unit where management emphasis is on leasable minerals development. This unit includes the surface facilities for the mine.
The eastern portion of the permit area lies within the GWR (General Big Game Winter Range) Management Unit where management emphasis is on providing general big game winter range.
07/98 Revised 04/99 4-3 • ~J ~uu5
"J de MINING
The north and west areas of the permit area lies within the RNG (Range Forage Production) Management Unit. Management emphasis is on production of forage and cover for domestic livestock and wildlife. The Incidental Boundary Change area lies within the RNG use classification. Surface land uses and resources will not be affected by underground mining operations. The South Crandall lease area lies within the RNG and MWS use classifications (see Plate 4-2). The U-68082 lease mod area lies within the RNG use classification.
The riparian area along Crandall Creek is included in the RPN (Riparian) Management Unit. RPN areas include the aquatic (including fish) ecosystem, the riparian (characterized by distinct vegetation), and adjacent ecosystems that remain within approximately 100 feet measured horizontally from the edge of all perennial streams and springs, and the shores of lakes and other still water bodies, i.e., from seeps, bogs, and wet meadows. Emphasis is on preservation of the riparian areas and component ecosystem.
The historic use of the land has been for recreation, forestry, wildlife habitat, and mining as indicated by previous zoning, historic documentation and visual examination.
4.11.13 Land Use/Zoning
Emery County had previously zoned this area as a recreation forestry and mining area. However, as of November 12,1979, this area has been rezoned to CE-l which is a critical environment zone. A county zoning of CE-l does not prohibit mining. Therefore, the area did not have to be rezoned.
4.11.14 Cultural and Historic Resource Information
A Cultural, Historic and Archeological inventory conducted on June 19 and 20, 1980 on all areas to be disturbed in the proposed permit area. No recorded or unrecorded archeological sites were found in the project area. A copy of the report on the archeological inventory is included as a supplement to this chapter as Appendix 4-1 .
All of the areas potentially affected by surface disturbing activities in Genwal's Crandall Canyon Mine Plan were investigated for cultural resources. No prehistoric remains were located in the mine plan area. A single site, however, near a haul road from the mine was recorded in 1975, by the Forest Service. This site (42EM722), a rock shelter, is some 50 meters in length and contains at least one meter of cultural deposits. Remains include stone tools, pottery, lithic debris, abundant charcoal, bone and pictographs on the cliff face above. Extensive vandalism has taken place; however, undisturbed areas in the shelter still remain. The site is eligible for inclusion to the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, it needs to be protected. The major threats to the site appear to be a direct impact from possible road improvement and present ensuing impacts caused by increased vandalism brought about by the improvement of the road. The site was fenced to be a solution to the vandalism problem.

.... r'I~ & MININli
The archeological site at the mouth of Crandall Creek is not threatened by road improvements and the area is fenced as stated in the plan. The initial road development has progressed along Crandall Canyon past site (42EM722) and Genwal has fenced off the designated site accordingly. A detailed report on the Sherman Shelter was completed by the USFS and is included within this chapter as Appendix 4-4. An additional archaeological survey was conducted for LBA #9 in 1992. Data associated with this report are contained in Appendix 4-1A. Additional survey information for the surface facility expansion area is also contained in Attachment 3 in the Addendum to Appendix 3-2.
Since there will be nor surface disturbance within the South Crandall lease area nor the U-68082 lease mod area, no impact to cultural or historic resources will occur. In June, 2004 SencoPhenix performed an intensive archeological survey of the U-68082 lease mod area and submitted its report to the Forest Service and SHPO. This report is included in Appendix 4-10.
4.11.141 Cultural and Historic Resource Maps
Cultural and Historic Resource maps are included in Appendix 4-5 and 4-6.
4.11.141.1 Boundaries of Listed Historic Resources
There are no public parks in the permit area. The only site of historical significance is a archeological site listed as "The Sherman Shelter 42EM722".
4.11.141.2 Location of Cemeteries
No cemeteries exist within the permit or mc area or within any adjacent area subject to potential impacts.
4.11.141.3 National Trails/Scenic Rivers
No trails or the wild and scenic rivers or study area rivers exist within the permit area or areas of potential impact.
4.11.142 State Historic Preservation Officer
The State Historic Preservation Office in a letter dated August 8, 1980, (see Appendix 4-2) granted cultural resource clearance for the GENW AL Crandall Canyon Mine. Conditional clearance from OSM was provided by a letter dated April 17, 1981 (see Appendix 4-3). GENWAL has followed the recommendations contained in Appendix 4-1, the Archeological Reconnaissance Report, and fenced site 42EM722. With the acquisition of lease UTU-68082, an additional PaleoArch inventory was conducted in 1992. That report is attached as Appendix 4-1A. A subsidence monitoring plan is included as part of Chapter 5. According to the SHPO there are no significant cultural resources within the South Crandall lease area nor the U-68082 lease mod area.

4.11.142.1 - 4.11.142.2 Prevention of Adverse Archaeological Impacts
No adverse impacts are anticipated and GENW AL has taken all action outlined and recommended by OSM and the USFS to safeguard the Sherman Shelter.
4.11.143 Historical Resources Eligible for Listing
GENW AL intends to protect any known historical and cultural resources. Should additional information be required, GENW AL and the requesting regulatory agency will determine the appropriate action.
4.11.143.2 Field Investigations
Field investigations have been conducted in conjunction with the archeologica1 survey. A map showing the survey area investigated for archeological importance is included as Appendix 4-5 .
Although the archeological report mentions a scattering of historic mining remains, they are remains of habitation and human use rather than mining. The remains consist of a rusty automobile body, either a 1939-1940 Ford or Mercury, numerous tin cans and bottles, bedsprings, and piles of wood from old cabins which have been destroyed by vandals. These habitation remains (1939-1955) are of no historic value and no study will be undertaken to document the remains. Maps of the areas investigated are included in Appendix 4-1 and Appendix 4-1 A .
4.11.200 Previous Mining
The mine plan area has been previously mined and the following information is provided.
4.11.210 Mining Method
Type of mining method used: room and pillar method of mining.
4.11.220 Coal Seam Mined

4.12 Reclamation Plan
NOTE: See Appendix 5-22(A) for the stand-alone reclamation plan for the East Mountain Emergency Drillpads and Access Roads. See Plate 1-1 for location of these drillpads and access roads.
4.12.1 Postmining Land Use Plan
In areas where surface disturbances resulted from mining operations, soil reclamation and revegetation will restore the areas to their premining usefulness as range land, wildlife habitat and recreational use. The reclamation plans are presented in chapters 2, 3, 5, and 7.
Land uses are solely at the discretion of the USFS. No alternative land uses have been proposed.
4.12.2 Landowner Or Surface Manager Comments
The citations from the Manti La Sal National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan can be considered as comments from the Forest Service for most of the disturbed area. The plan states that the road will be left in place pursuant to the wishes of the Forest Service and the surface landowner. Correspondence from the Forest Service indicating the above and outlining attendant reclamation requirements is included in Appendix 1-2.
4.13 Performance Standards
4.13.1 Postmining Land Use
All disturbed areas will be restored in a timely manner to conditions that are capable of supporting the uses they were capable of supporting prior to mining.
4.13.3 Criteria for Alternative Postmining Land Use
No alternative postmining land use is planned or proposed.

•
Coal mining and reclamation operations will be conducted in compliance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act and any other applicable Utah or Federal statutes and regulations pertaining to air quality standards.
4.22 Compliance with Utah Bureau of Air Quality
GENW AL has an approved air quality pennit covering all planned facilities for the Crandall Canyon Mine with the Utah Bureau of Air Quality. A copy of the Air Quality Approval Order Modification is presented in Appendix 4-8.
The air quality pennit was revised in August 1997 to incorporate the new surface facilitities and mine yard expansion area. The air quality pennit was amended and approved prior to operation of the new facilities.
4.23 Fugitive Dust Control Plan
The Air Quality Approval Order contains the air pollution control plan which includes an air quality monitoring program. The monitoring program will provide sufficient data to evaluating the effectiveness of the fugitive dust control practices and compliance with federal and Utah air quality standards.
A description of the controls and design features associated with the yard expansion can be found in Chapter 5 under section 5.26.
4.24 Fugitive Dust Control Plan for Reclamation Activities
A fugitive dust control plan is included in Appendix 4-7.

AIR 0- 16. ITY
At this time Genwal Coal Company would like to sUbmit this Notice at Intent to expand our production and madity our surface facilities to handle the increase in production.· In addi tion , this Notice of Intent will reflect the upqrades to our power system and haulage road.
Currently we are approved to mine 360,000 tons of coal per year, and we would like to expand this production to 1,500,000 tons. Only slight changes in the operating procedures will be required and these chang.s will reduce emissions from the present state. Even with the incr .... 4 number of coal haulage trucks total emissions will be reduced due to the paving of the coal haulage road.
Emissions will be further reduced due the ot the diesel generator previously used generation. .
elimination for power
Please find enclosed the calculations us.d to determine emission levels and coal handling schematics, and production schedules for your review.
Your timely review of this moaification would be qreatly appreci.ted. If there are any further que.tions or comments please teel free to contact me at 687-9813. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely, ~

R.O.M. BELT CA)
GENWAL COAL COMPANY Letter ot Intent (LOI) Bureau of Air Quality
presently coal is mined with a continuous mininq machine and transported by the R.O.M. (Run ot Mine) conveyor belt CA) out of the mine and onto a Gr"i~zly (B). (See Fiqures 1 and 2) The speed of the R.O.M. belt is less than 550 teet per minute. The drop for the R.O.M. coal from the R.O.M. conveyor to the 'Grizzly is less than five CS} feet.
GRIZZLY CB)
The qrizzly dimension will be approximately 5' wida and 8' long. The Run of Mine (R.O.M.) belt will transport 'up to l,500,OOQ- Tons ot coal a year startinq in~992.
The coal will be separated into one of two circuits at the qrizzly. During normal operations the primary coal circuit will be used. The secondary circuit will only be used when the primary circuit fails or becomes overloaded. It is .stimat~d that 1,350,000 tons will take the primary circuit and only 150,000 tons will end up in the secondary circuit. The primary circuit will be discussed first.
PRIMABYCRUSHER eel
Coal leaving -the qrizzly ana entering the primary circuit will leave as either 2" plus which will flow over the qrizzly and into the primary crusher (C), or 2" minus which will pass through the grizzly, bypassing the crusher and drop directly onto the silo belt (D). It is .stimated that of the 1,500,000 tons of R.O.M. coal, 1,080,000 tons will flow over the qrizzly and into the primary crusher. Approximately 270,000 of the R.O.H. coal will pass through the grizzly and drop onto the silo belt.
SILO BELT (01
The silo belt is approximately 100 teet long and travels at less than 550 feet per minute. From the silo belt the coal will drop into the silo (400 ton storaqe bin). .The drop from the silo belt into the silo (E) is approximately 5 feet.

The silo is built of steel and is fully enclosed. The silo is constructed with an overflow.' It the silo is full the coal will flow o'ut the top of the overt low and onto the storage pile (J). This overflow coal will then b. handled by the secondary circuit. The ov.rflow coal wlll amount to approximately 13,5,000 tons a year. ' "kApproximately 1,215,000 tons of coal will pass throuqh th.'silo and be reclaimed by the reclaim belt.
RECLAIM BELT (F )

travels at a speed of less than 550 teet per 'minute. Once the coal is weiqhed on the reclaim baIt it' is'conveyed into
' coal haul trucks to be delivered to our buye17s~ ,.," ,

The above discussion describes tl;1e Primary ~''':coai circuit Which handles approximately 1,350,000 tons of the total production at 1,500, 000 tons.. Th.e remaininq 150,000 tons will be handled by the secondary coal circuit. '
SECONDARY CRUSHER CH)
Coal leavinq the qrizzly and entering the secondary circuit will leave as either 2" plus which will flow over the grizzly and into the secondary crusher (&), or 2- minus Which will pass through the grizzly, bypassing the crusher and drop directly onto the bypass conveyor (I). It is estimated that of the 1,500,000 tons ot R.O.M. coal, 120,000 tons will flow over the grizzly and, into the secondary crusher. Approximately 30,000 tons ot the R.O.M. coal will pass through the qrizzly and drop directly ont~ the bypass belt.

BYPASS CONVEYOR (ll
The, bypass conveyor is approximately 40 teet long and travels at less than 550 feet per minute. Approximately lSO,OOO tons per year of coal from the bypass conveyor will drop approximately 75 teet onto the coal storage' pile (J).
COAL' STOCKPILE (J').
Coal will only be stored on the stock pile it the primary circuit fails or it the silo overflow is beinq utilized. The amount of coal on the stockpile will changa from day to day. The stock pile will collect coal trom the secondary circuit as well as from the silo over flow. Approximately 135,000 tons a y~ar will come trom the, .110 over flow and 150,000 tons a year will com. trom the secondary coal circuit. The maximum amount or· coal expected on the pile at anyone time will be 3,000 'tons • The majority of the time the pile will be depleted to minimal tonnages. Coal will be reclaimed from the coal stock pile by the use of a loader .
LO~DER OPERATIONS
4 •
A cat loader, owned and operated by Savaqe Industri •• , will reclaim coal from the coal stock pile and place it into the reclaim coal hopper (X). , The travel distance tor this loader is less than 100 teet.
RECLAIM COAL HOPPER (K 1
This hopper is approximately 5 foot square and will hold nearly 3.5 tons. It is ant~cipated that only 285,000 tons of coal a year will be handled by the loader.
HOPPER BELT CLl
Coal from the hopper will drop from the ~otto. of the hopper onto a short conveyor which in turn will deposit the coal onto the reclaim conveyor. The hopper conveyor is approximately 20 feet lonq and travels at under 400 t •• t a minute. It is at the reclaim conveyor that the WpriaaryW circuit and the "secondary" circuit join toqether

Re: Genwal South Crandall Tract
Dear Mr. Dykman:
P.O. BOX 1077 PRICE, UTAH 84501 PHONE: (435) 564-4000 FAX: (435) 564-4002
GENW AL RESOURCES INC. has applied for a mining pennit on a tract of land adjacent to its Crandall Canyon Mine. I talked to you in late June about a survey of the area, the South Crandall Tract. The Division of Oil, Gas and Mining has said that they will be in contact with you about a cultural resources survey of the area. In order to help expedite your review for DOGM, I am enclosing the outline of the tract (Federal Lease UTU-78953) on the Rilda Canyon USGS quadrangle topographical map.
Call me at 435-564-4015 if you have any questions.
