The modification addressed changes in the <br />proposed mining operation by removing the highwall miner from the mining plan due to the poor <br />performance in this steep geologic setting. This modification reduces the surface recoverable <br />coal reserves in Federal Coal leases C-0114093 and C-081258 and therefore the LMU. <br />The Bureau of Land Management's, Little Snake Field-Office-has co...pleted a review. of this <br />submittal and has approved the proposed R2P2 and LMU modification. The submittal, together <br />with a copy of this letter, will be inserted into the existing Seneca R2P2 and LMU as <br />documentation of the approved modification. <br />If you have any questions, please contact Foster Beckett at (970) 826-5077. <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />,~&y John E.
