This Permit Revision is being submitted concurrent with the permit application <br />for the Sage Creek Coal Company in order to alleviate concerns regarding reclamation liability in the <br />areas removed from the current Seneca II permit. <br />SCC proposes to reduce the size of the original Seneca II permit area to accommodate the new Peabody <br />Sage Creek Mine (PSCM) permit area. The PSCM permit (C-2009-087) area will include approximately <br />3,011.9 acres of the original Seneca II permit area. The revised Seneca II permit area will retain 386.5 <br />acres of the original permit area that includes 271.0 disturbed acres. This new Seneca II Mine permit <br />boundary encompasses the upper portions of one isolated watershed and separates the runoff from Seneca <br />II permit area and the new PSCM permit area. <br />SCC proposes to revise only applicable sections and maps of the PAP to reflect current and future <br />conditions. The currently approved Seneca II PAP will be left intact to provide baseline information and <br />background operational information. The new sections will be provided under a separate cover, titled: <br />Seneca H Mine (Permit No. C-1980-005) <br />Permit Area Size Reduction <br />Permit Revision (PR-02) <br />June 2010 <br />Thpse.new sections/tabs include: <br />• Introduction <br />• Rule 2.03.4 - Legal, Financial, Compliance and Related Information <br />• Rule 2.04.7 - Hydrology Description and Monitoring Plan <br />• Rule 2.05.3 - Operation Plan <br />• Rule 2.05.4 - Reclamation Plan <br />• Rule 3.02 - Performance Bond Requirements <br />Seneca Coal Company • P.O.
