Nationwide in the next 35 years, the life of a modem steam plant, this would amount to 7 billion 410 million tons of coal We believe the nation simply cannot afford this kind of a lock up of its most abundant energy resource Sweeping legislation that does not adequately distinguish the difference between surface mining in the eastern states and surface mining of western coal should not be enacted. Eastern coal lands generally have thin seams (2 to 6 feet), steep slopes, heavy vegetation and much natural moisture On the other hand, western surface mined coal generally is found in thick seams (30 to 90 feet), on the western plains and much of it in arid desen lands. The methods and techniques of reclamation between these two simply are not compatible 4. We believe that the cost of reclamation for each individual mine should be paid for by the company that mines the coal, and that cost should be reflected in the price of coal from each individual mine. Bills now before congress would impose a reclamation tax on each ton of coal mined, regardless of its source or cost of reclamation The result would be a disproportionately higher cost for coal mined in the West. 5 We believe that Idaho Power Company — and its customers who eventually pay these costs — should pay NO MORE AND NO LESS than all of the costs of reclaiming the land which produces the coal used for their electricity. We are in complete agreement that the rehabilitated land should be in harmony with the surrounding area, utilizing the best practical reclama tion technology available.
