PR-4 PRELIMINARY ADEQUACY REVIEW <br />2.03.4 Identification of Interests <br />We have reviewed the ownership and control information provided in the Tab 3 <br />amendments and conducted an initial AVS check. We have identified no concerns with <br />the text, appendices, or attachments provided, however the current Tab 3, Attachment 3- <br />5, which was not amended, appears to be out-dated. Please submit a properly <br />updated Attachment 3-5, Owner, Officer, and Director Information. <br />2. The map exhibits included in the amended Tab 3 materials (Exhibits 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, and 3- <br />4, were not certified by a qualified registered professional engineer or professional <br />geologist, as required by Rule 2.10.3(2). Please provide properly certified original <br />map exhibits. <br />2.04.9 Soils Resource Information and 2.05.4(21(dl Toasoil Handling Plan <br />3. Map Exhibit 9-3 Soil Survey Map was not certified by a qualified registered professional <br />engineer or professional geologist, as required by Rule 2.10.3(2). Please provide <br />properly certified original map exhibits. <br />4. Table 21-46 on page 27b was modified within the PR-04 submittal, but the notations at <br />the bottom corners of the amended page erroneously indicate that the table was updated <br />via PR03, Revised 7/02. Please provide an amended page 27b, with the correct <br />revision reference and date. <br />5. Amended Exhibit 21-1,Topsoil Replacement, depicts postmining contours in green. The <br />postmining contours were not extended into the proposed expanded Sage Creek/Wolf <br />Creek pit area at the extreme southern end of the permit area, as would appear to be <br />appropriate. Please amend the map as appropriate to accurately depict proposed <br />postmining contours. <br />2.05.2 and 2.05.3 Ooeration Plan and Description <br />6. We note that certain information included on current Exhibit 12-3 has been deleted from <br />the amended Exhibit 12-3 (e.g. topsoil stockpile locations and designated roads). We <br />assume that this was a conscious decision, as it appears that all designated roads and <br />stockpiles shown on current 12-3 are also depicted on Exhibit 13-2A. Please verify that <br />this is the case. <br />Table 12-1 was amended to include a highwall miner within the list of equipment, Exhibit <br />12-3 was amended to incorporate highwall mining, and new Attachment 12-4 was <br />submitted to address the operational plan for the proposed highwall mining. Appropriate <br />sections of the operation plan narrative text need to be amended to reference the <br />proposed highwall mining and update the status and extent of auger mining that was <br />conducted. Specifically, please update narrative references to proposed auger <br />mining, and include appropriate reference to proposed highwall mining in narrative <br />sections pertaining to the Lower Block and South Block, on pages 7 and 8 of the <br />Tab 12 narrative. In addition, please amend the introductory section of Attachment <br />12-2 to update the current status and briefly summarize the extent of auger mining <br />that was conducted at Seneca IIW. <br />
