RE: Seneca 11 Mine (C-80-005 SO-O1)
Seneca II-W Mine (C-82-057 SO-O1)
Transfer of Permits
Dear Mr. Wendt:
We have received your requests to transfer the above mentioned mine permits to Seneca Coal
Company. A preliminary review of the items submitted indicates there are minor deficiencies in
the appltcatlon packages. Prior to approval of the transfers, the following items must be revised
or subbmttted.
1. The insurance certificates for both operations need to be revised since:
a. The address for Seneca Coal Company is not the same address as is given in the
revised permit application package. Please have the issuer correct the address.
b. The certificates have a clause regarding cancellation which is unacceptable as written.
Please have the issuer of the certificates delete from the clause the phrases "endeavor
to" and "failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind
upon the company, its agents, or representatives."
2. Pages in the revised text (3-14 in C-80-005 and Tab 3 page 1 of C-82-057) refer to revised
Attachments 3-1 and 3-2 which show proof that Seneca Coal Company is licensed to do
business in the State of Colorado and has rights to certain properties and leases. The copies
of our submittals do not contain these documents Please provide six copies of the
described documents for our review.
3. As you noted in your application cover letter, we are still in need of revised performance
bonds.
We have forwarded new ownership and control information for Seneca Coal Company and its
parent corporations to the Office of Surface Mining for Applicant Violator System updates. Once
the updates have been made, the Division can make the required system queries for compliance
history and approval of the permit transfers. We will keep you apprised of the status of that
review.
