COLORADO <br />State Land Board <br />Northwest District <br />2667 Copper Ridge Circle, Unit 1 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80487 <br />P 970.879.9992 1 F 970.879.9498 <br />12.23.2020 <br />Miranda Kawcak <br />Peabody/Twentymile Coal, LLC <br />29515 Routt County Road 27 <br />Oak Creek, CO 80467 <br />To Whom it May Concern, <br />The State Land Board owns the land in Sections 31 and 32, T6N R91 W, that is leased by Sage Creek <br />Holdings, LLC ( owned by Twentymile Coal, LLC). <br />While the original reclamation plan had rangeland as the post -mining land use goal, a pastureland <br />vegetative regime for the post -mining use is more appropriate now due to changes in the local <br />climate. The seed mix associated with pastureland use is more focused on perennial grass and forbs <br />establishment, and less focused on woody plants and shrub establishment. <br />The State Land Board supports the change in post -mining use from rangeland to pastureland, which results in <br />a seed mix more dominant in grass species. Please contact me at (970)690-5901 with any questions regarding <br />this letter. <br />Thank you, <br />Jerod Smith, Northwest District Manager <br />Colorado State Land Board <br />2667 Copper Ridge Circle, Unit 1 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80487 <br />11127 Sherman Street, Suite 300, Dern+er, CO 8D203-2206 <br />P 303.&66.345-4 I F 303.966.3152 1 www_color ado. govistateUndboard <br />II <br />
