Mr. Roy Karo <br />Seneca Coal Company <br />May 7, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br />Topsoil Replacement -Document what topsoil replacement, if any was <br />done. <br />• Document vegetative cover and production in accordance with the <br />approved vegetation evaluation procedures which were revised and <br />updated for the Pre-Law Area (essentially BRB-1) with Technical <br />Revision No. 40 approved March 27, 2007. Lands within BRB-1 fall <br />under the requirements of the Colorado Open Cut Mining Land <br />Reclamation Act of 1969 and 1973 that had very similar revegetation <br />requirements. Evaluation of the BRB-1 azea is proposed in the form of a <br />qualitative description with very limited quantitative vegetation sampling. <br />The approved sampling design schedule is given on page 13-13-3 of the <br />permit document. In order for the Division to find the application <br />complete the sampling data and qualitative description demonstrating <br />compliance with the 1969 and 1973 Acts will need to be included in the <br />bond release application. <br />Please send the Division a finalized reclamation plan for the old Wolf <br />Creek Pit azea for Division approval and cost estimating purposes. This <br />plan will need to be finalized and approved by the Division before a <br />decision can be made on the pre-law bond release. <br />If you have questions or aze in need of additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />.l" l i (, P. ~ an~ <br />Michael P.
