iiiiiii iiiii • • <br />Esc NEC~4 <br />S Coal Company Seneca Coal Company <br />May 30, 1997 <br />RECEIVED <br />Mr. Jim Burnell <br />Division of Minerals and Geology JUN 0 ~ 1997 <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203-2273 <br />RE : Yoas t Mine Perini t C - 94 - 082 , NOV C - 9 7 - 004 Division of ~winerais 2s Neology <br />Dear Mr. Burnell: <br />This correspondence is a request for an extension of time for the <br />abatement of NOV C-97-004 to the Yoast Mine Permit C-94-082. The <br />current abatement deadline for this NOV is Friday, May 30th. <br />Step 1 of this NOV required Seneca to remove all sloughed fill <br />material from the channel of Annand Draw near culvert YB-6. Step <br />2 of the abatement required us to grade the fill material located <br />adjacent to RCR 27 to the final 5:1 slope proposed in TR-05. <br />Finally, step 3 of the NOV was to complete the construction of <br />the relief drains on Yoast Haul Road A per the designs in the <br />permit. Because of the weather conditions and additional <br />precipitation the mine has received the entire month of May, <br />ground conditions have not changed much since the NOV was issued. <br />Work did start cleaning up the material near Annand Draw. We are <br />waiting on the approval of TR-OS to complete the reclamation work <br />adjacent to RCR 27. The riprap for the down drains has been <br />ordered but we have not received any yet. As soon as the ground <br />dries out and equipment can work without causing further <br />unnecessary damage, Seneca will begin finishing the abatement <br />projects for this NOV. We are aware that the work next to RCR 27 <br />must wait until after the public comment period following <br />approval of TR-O5. I am asking for a 30-day extension of the <br />current deadline to June 29th. <br />Should you or any other members of the Division have any <br />questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to <br />contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />-~~-P~1• C~~- <br />Michael G.
