I am <br />confident your staff will find the monitoring report of the <br />quality exhibited in previous reports. Monitoring at Seneca II is <br />oriented towards measuring the status of variously-aged reclaimed <br />units and the success of revegetation procedures. More <br />importantly, monitoring aids in evaluating the affects of <br />successional processes on reclaimed communities. Additional <br />elements include evaluation of grazing in reclaimed lands and the <br />applicability of new sampling procedures. <br />SCC and ESCO welcome any comments you or your staff may have on <br />the information provided in this report. Please contact me or Roy <br />Karo if you or any other members of the Division have any <br />questions concerning the enclosed materials. <br />Respectfully, <br />Michael G. Altavilla, P.E. <br />Engineering Manager <br />Enclosure(s) <br />c: Roy Karo (SCC) <br />L J <br />Seneca Coal Company • P.O.
