Box 250 <br />36600 Routt County Road 27 <br />Hayden, Colorado 81639 <br />RE: Peabody Sage Creek Mine — Permit No. C-2009-087 <br />2014 Annual Reclamation Report Review <br />Dear Mr. Cowman: <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (Division) has reviewed the Peabody Sage <br />Creek Mine's (PSCM) 2014 Annual Reclamation Report (ARR). Below is a summary of the Division's <br />review of the report against Rule 2.04.13. Comments in bold lettering indicate an issue that will need to <br />be addressed. <br />2.04.13 <br />(1) The annual reclamation report was received by the Division on March 17, 2015 via e-mail and a <br />hard copy of the report was received on March 23, 2015. Previous Division reviews of PSCM's <br />ARRs indicate the report was to be submitted by March 30 each year in accordance with the PAP. <br />However, I could not locate in the PAP where PSCM committed to a date to submit the annual <br />reclamation report. The Division's Findings Document for the mine indicates the ARR will be <br />submitted by February 15 of each year. We discussed this issue over the telephone and it was <br />agreed that the Annual Reclamation Report section of the permit will be updated as part of <br />the Permit Renewal revised pages to specify that the report will be submitted by March 30 <br />each year. <br />a. The name and address of the permittee and permit number are indicated on the Annual <br />Reclamation Report form. <br />b. PSCM reported that zero acres were disturbed during 2014. See discussion below <br />regarding acreage accounting. <br />c. PSCM reported that zero acres were backfilled and graded during 2014. See discussion <br />below regarding acreage accounting. <br />d. PSCM reported that zero acres were topsoiled during 2014. See discussion below <br />regarding acreage accounting. <br />pF•Cpl <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
