Peabod <br />1111 ENERGY <br />Seneca Property, LLC <br />Mrs. Janet Binns <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining, and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street — Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />303.866.3567 X8107 <br />29515 Routt County Road 27 <br />Oak Creek, CO 80467 <br />970.879.3800 <br />July 5, 2016 <br />Re: Yoast Permit Renewal RN04 — Request for Extension/Hayden Gulch — Change to Active Reclamation <br />Status <br />Janet: <br />With our current focus on immediate permit needs and facilitating bond release, we are working the permit <br />renewal/mid-term responses in as we can. Since Yoast is in inactive status, we are addressing the pending <br />permit renewal as a lower priority, and ask that the decision date for the renewal be extended to August 8, 2016. <br />I also wanted to let you know that we anticipate initiating work this week at the Hayden Gulch Loadout to <br />remove the rail, ties, and ballast material, as part of our reclamation/bond-release focus. The rail and ties will be <br />removed from the property for salvage by the contractor, and the ballast material will be loaded and hauled to <br />the Foidel Creek Mine for use in subsidence mitigation for the Energy Spur rail -line. I have contacted both <br />Union Pacific and CDOT and we will be coordinating with them on activities within the UP right-of-way for the <br />Craig branch -line and for removal of the rail -crossing of US40 on the eastern edge of Hayden (requires CDOT <br />ROW Permit). With initiation of this work, the Hayden Gulch Permit status will change from temporary <br />cessation to active reclamation, and we will be initiating any appropriate modifications to the monitoring and <br />inspection schedules. <br />We appreciate your consideration and continuing patience as we address the many items associated with <br />Peabody's Colorado properties — <br />Best regards, <br />Jerry .
