RECITALS
I. Peabody Western Coal Company ("operator") desires to conduct a mining
operation known as the Seneca II Mine for the purpose of extracting coal.
II. On January 02, 1993, the Division of Minerals and Geology ("the
Division") approved the operator's application for this permit, fixed
the amount of bond and directed that this permit be issued upon the
filing with the Division of bond in the amount so fixed in form and
substance approved by the Division, and such bond has been so furnished.
III. On November 10, 1992, the Division made the following findings:
(a) The permit application is accurate and contains all information
required under C.R.S., 34-33-101 et s~ce and regulations
promulgated thereunder and that all the requirements of Article 33
of Title 34, C.R.S. ("such article") for the issue of a permit have
been complied with;
(b> The applicant has demonstrated that reclamation as required by such
article can be accomplished under the reclamation plan contained in
the permit application;
(c) The assessment of the probable cumulative impact of all anticipated
mining in the area on the hydrologic balance specified in Section
34-33-110(2)(1) has been made by the Division and the proposed
operation thereof has been designed to prevent material damage to
the hydrologic balance outside the permit area;
(d) Granting the permit will not conflict with any designation decision
issued pursuant to Section 522 of the Federal "Surface Mining
Control and Reclamation Act of 1977", as amended, (P. L. 95-87), nor
is the area proposed to be mined within an area under study for
unsuitability designation in an administrative proceeding commenced
pursuant to Section 34-33-126 or Section 522 of said P.L. 95-87.
