Seneca II-W until 1987; and second, the coal production through • <br />C the year 2001 as addressed in the Wolf Creek application is not <br />supported by the renewal application where production ceases in <br />1997. Peabody Coal should revise one or both of these documents <br />so that both are consistent. <br />RESPONSE: <br />The descriptions, Mining Operations-Life-of-Mine and Operations- <br />General are revised to clarify mining areas, production, scheduling, <br />and maps. These revised descriptions are based upon current <br />conditions and are reflected on map Exhibit 12-1. The mining plan <br />shown depicts the 770B dragline completing the Wadge pit and the 6508 <br />completing the Wolf Creek pit. <br />As the CMLRB 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 the 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 />2.05.3 Facilities <br />1. The legal descriptions included on Page 12-8 of Volume 2 of the <br />renewal application which indicate the location of the various <br />C pits at the mine do not appear to be accurate in relation to the • <br />locations shown on Exhibit 12-1, Operation Plan. Also, any name <br />and/or number designations for the various pits and work areas at <br />the mine should be clearly described on the text and referred to <br />in the same fashion on Exhibit 12-1. It is difficult to <br />correlate the description of pit development and reclamation for <br />all pits at the rt~ine as described on the text with the location <br />and configuration of the pits as shown on Exhibit 12-1. A clear <br />description of all mining activities scheduled during the next <br />permit term should be provided, including a schedule for mining <br />and/or reclamation of the unnamed pit located in the E 1/2, SE <br />1/4 Sec. 11, the solid waste disposal site and auger area and the <br />Pit B area as shown on ExYiibit 12-1. This information is <br />necessary in order to verify the timing and extent of the worst <br />case disturbance occurring during the second permit term. <br />RESPONSE: <br />Appropriate Tab 12 text and maps have been corrected and revised to <br />provide a clearer description and presentation of the areas mined and <br />to be mired. Additional Tables 12-4 and 11-5 in Tab 12 should provide <br />necessary timing information. <br /> <br />U <br />16 Revised 3/27/86 <br />
