Z.05 Operations Plan <br />6. This renewal application contains 62 pages of revised <br />information. Considering the extent of revised text, Peabody <br />Coal should be more specific as to what "The unaffected sections <br />of Table 12 and associated approved revisions of the current <br />Seneca II Mine permit are applicable..." as specified in the <br />"Note" on the Table of Contents page. <br />RESPONSE: <br />Updating the operations plan for the permit renewal required <br />modifications to virtually every section. Responses to comments <br />required further modifications. Thus, the operations plan can be <br />considered a completely revised section. The comment on the Table of <br />Contents page relating tc unaffected sections is no longer applicable <br />and has been deleted. <br />2.05 Operations Plan <br />7. There appears to be a discrepancy with the mining of the Wolf <br />Creek coal. The renewal application discusses mining of this <br />area with the 650G dragline to final coal recovery. The Wold <br />Creek permit revision application, however, specifies that this <br />area will be mined via the 6506 dragline until this dragline is <br />. moved to Seneca II-W in 1986 at which time the 7706 would finish <br />mining this area. Peabody Coal should revise one or both of <br />these documents so that both are consistent. <br />RESPONSE: <br />The descriptions, Mining Operations-Life-of-i4ine and Operations <br />Description-General are revised to clarify mining areas, production, <br />scheduling and maps. These revised descriptions are based upon <br />current conditions and are reflected on map Exhibit 12-1. The mining <br />plan shown depicts the 7706 dragline completing the Wadge pit and the <br />6506 completing the Wolf Creek pit. <br />As the C14LR6 is aware, Peabody plans to revise the current mine plan <br />in the latter part of 1986 to accurately reflect the disposition and <br />placement of both draglines in both Seneca II and II-W mine areas. <br />Upon finalization of these plans by Peabody and acceptance by the coal <br />supply customer, Peabody will provide the CMLRB an appropriate <br />revision. <br />2.05 Operations Plan <br />8. The Wolf Creek permit revision discusses the effects of opening <br />the Seneca II-W site in 1986 and the resultant coal production <br />impacts to Seneca .I I. This discussion raises two issues: first, <br />based on current discussions, Peabody Goal does not plan to open <br />15 Revised 8/27/86 <br />
