Mr. Roy Karo <br />Seneca Coal Company <br />Page 2 <br />4. Page 5 indicates that areas revegetated prior to 2003 are shown on a map in the <br />exhibits section of this report. There is no such map contained in this report. <br />Please revise page 5 accordingly and provide the correct reference and map. <br />5. Under Sedimentation Pond Surveys on page 5, SCC references Rule <br />4.05.6(11)(c). Our rules aze occasionally updated and this is an incorrect <br />reference, as this rule does not exist. Please correct this discrepancy and make <br />reference to the correct rule. Also, it would be useful to add a discussion of the <br />annual certified report required for all impoundments under Rule 4.04.9(14) to <br />this page of the report. <br />6. Under the Stock Tank discussion contained on page 6, there is no reference to the <br />permanent stock ponds that have been permitted. There should be a brief <br />discussion and information pertaining to the required annual certified inspections <br />reports for all stock ponds. Please incorporate a brief discussion of the permanent <br />stock ponds and results of the annual certified inspections. <br />On page 6 under Sediment Survey Results, the units for remaining capacity are <br />missing. Please update this information with the correct units. <br />8. The current Topography Map provided does not indicate as of what date the <br />existing topography is. Please indicate the month and yeaz for the topography <br />map provided. It would also be helpful to have the permit boundary and section <br />identifiers (section comers/intersections) shown on the Seneca II Mine <br />Topography Map. For future ARR submittals please include the permit boundary <br />and section corners on the current Topography Map provided. <br />Please note that this yeaz the Division revised the Annual Reclamation Report form and <br />recently sent this form to all operators. We are requesting additional information to <br />better track reclamation and bond release acreage. Please utilize the new report form for <br />the 2004 ARR submittal. The form is available on our website at www.minine.state.co. <br />Please submit the above requested information and revisions to the 2003 report prior to <br />submittal of the 2004 Annual Reclamation Report. Thank you for your ongoing <br />cooperation and feel free to call me with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />./~ u ~ d ~t <br />Michael P.
