As mining progresses, Peabody will <br />continue to monitor the estimated appearance of the <br />topography with the aid of the computer. The <br />post-mining topography map should be considered a <br />'best estimate'. If Peabody finds in its monitoring <br />of swell, grading, and field conditions that the <br />post-mining topography will deviate significantly <br />from that shown on the map, the Division will be <br />notified." <br />The operator has been producing annual post-mining topographic maps of <br />areas graded within the Seneca II mine. This practice has proven <br />sufficient to allow verification of the post-mining topography. The <br />operator should either specifically commit to such a monitoring <br />program, or we should stipulate it in any eventual permit approval. <br />cc: Mike Long <br />/wjh <br />7846E <br />
