The letter explained that, <br /> for operations to continue beyond that date, Section 2.08.5(3)(f)requires an application for renewal <br /> to be received on or before 5 February 2025. Seneca Property LLC, submitted a renewal application <br /> on 5 February 2025 and the application was found complete on 6 February 2025. SPL published a <br /> notice of the application in the Steamboat Pilot, four consecutive weeks from 11 April 2025 through <br /> 2 May 2025. <br /> No objections regarding the application were received. <br /> The Office of Surface Mining's applicant violator system(AVS) was queried on 24 June 2025 no <br /> violations were identified and resulted in a recommendation to propose a decision for this renewal. <br /> On 7 April 2025,the Division sent the preliminary adequacy letter to SPL requesting additional <br /> information with regards to portions of the permit.
