The field work and reporting was conducted by ESCO <br />Associates, Inc., with Dr. David Buckner as principal <br />investigator. I am confident your staff will find the monitoring <br />report of the quality exhibited in previous reports. Monitoring <br />at Seneca II-W is oriented towards measuring the status of <br />variously-aged reclaimed units and the success of revegetation <br />procedures. More importantly, monitoring aids in evaluating the <br />affects of successional processes on reclaimed communities. <br />Additional elements include evaluation of grazing in reclaimed <br />lands and the applicability of new sampling procedures. <br />SCC, PWCC, and ESCO welcome any comments you or your staff may <br />have on the information provided in this report. Please contact <br />me or Roy Karo if you or any other members of the Division have <br />any questions concerning the enclosed materials. <br />Respectfully, <br />Michael G. Altavilla, P.E. <br />Engineering Manager <br />Enclosure(s) <br />c: Brian Dunfee (PWCC) <br />Roy Karo (SCC) <br />Vern Pfannenstiel (PWCC) <br />Gary Wendt (PWCC) <br />Seneca Coal Company • P.O.
