r <br />2 <br />Conformation to the Mineral Leaeinc Act of February 20, 1920, as amended, for <br />development, production, maximum economic recovery, and applicable reoulations <br />of 43 CFR 3480. <br />1. The recoverable coal reserves figures and production estimates for <br />federal lease COC0114093 should be included in Volume 6 on Table 12-2. <br />2. Map 12-1 should show the federal coal lease boundary in order to show <br />the mining sequence and timing on the federal lease. <br />General Comments <br />1. Some errors were identified in Vol. 1, Appendix 3-3, "Ownership and <br />Control of Lands and Minerals within and adjacent to the Seneca II-W <br />Mine" ae it relates to Exhibit 3-1, "Ownership and Control Within and <br />Adjacent to Yoaet Permit Area". <br />a. Title page for Appendix 3-3 states "for the Seneca II-W Hine" <br />b. Parcels 23 and 26 indicate they are under coal lease C-48547. <br />This aerial number refers to an expired exploration license. The <br />reference should be deleted. <br />c. Appendix 3-3 and Exhibit 3-1 should be revised to show the correct <br />boundaries for coal lease COC0114093 as it was modified by <br />decision letter dated September 13, 1994, effective September 1, <br />1994. Affected parcels are 11, 23, 26, 46, 65, 68, 69, and 71. <br />2. Dose the Right of Entry Liet, Appendix 3-4, Vol. 1, only address the <br />first five years? I find no references to the southern mine area, <br />specifically tract 71. <br />3. Page 3-4-3 of Appendix 3-4 identifies federal coal lease COC0114093 ae <br />executed 8/31/83. It should read 9/1/94 (see l.c. above). <br />Until the comments identified above are addressed, we do not recommend <br />approval of the subject PAP. If you have any additional questions, please <br />contact Jerry Strahan at (303) 824-4441. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~ . <br />John E.
