y t~ <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />1373 Sherman St., Room 215 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Phone: (303) 866-3567 <br />FAX: (303} 832-8106 <br />December 6, 2004 <br />Theresa Friederich <br />4571 New Hampshire Street <br />San Diego, CA 92116 <br />RE: Public Notice Questions p <br />Seneca II-W Mine, Permit No. C-1982-057 /4Sj: C <br />~o rtC In o-.. c%.~ ct <br />Dear Ms. Friederich: <br />This latter is in response to your email dated 12/1/04. You had three specific questions <br />that were prompted by recent public notices in the Steamboat Pilot. I addressed the <br />question regarding blasting in my email yesterday, and I hope that was a satisfactory <br />explanation. I have incorporated that explanation in this letter. In addition, I have tried to <br />address your questions regarding TR-45 and Stipulations 31, 32, and 33, as well as the <br />question regarding road access to your property, <br />Question (prompted by blasting notice publication): What is fhe purpose of the blasting? <br />lhi~wal/auger wedge coal or the wo/f-sage creek coal?) How much coal recovery is <br />anticipated and when? <br />The blasting notice publication is required on an annual basis for all surface mines that <br />conduct blasting as part of their operation. Publication of the blasting notice for 2005 was <br />not due to any operational changes, production increases or decreases, or revision <br />approvals. It is just a standard operational requirement. Seneca Coal Company conducts <br />overburden and coal seam blasting as a normal part of the operation at Seneca II-W, in both <br />the Wedge and Wolf Creek/Sage Creek mining areas, in association with surface extraction <br />mining methods. <br />Question (prompted by TR-49 publication notice of filing): Any update you can share on our <br />ingress & egress between the homestead and County Road #53? /completion date, width, <br />location, quality of road/. <br />l believe the subject road is identified in various permit materials as the Ridgeline Access <br />Road. This proposed permanent road extends from Haul Road "G" at the northern end of <br />the original permit area, and when completed will tie into Haul Road "A" near the southern <br />end of the original permit area. Haul Road "J" which extends from Haul Road "A" into the <br />South Extension portion of the permit area, is also proposed as a permanent road. These <br />roads are depicted on permit map Exhibits 20-2 and 20-2A fsee discussion below). Most of <br />the Ridgeline Road is across regraded mine spoil areas, and final spoil grading and drainage <br />construction was completed in some areas just this year. The re-alignment of the southern <br />segment was approved in TR-45, and it has not yet been constructed. Haulroad "J" and <br />"K", and Haulroad "A" west of the Road "J" junction are still active use haul roads. <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF <br />MIN SRALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />REC LAMATION•M IN ING <br />SAFETY•SCIEN CE <br />Rill Owens <br />Governor <br />Russell George <br />Executive Director <br />Ronald W.
