<br />PUBLIC NOTICE <br />Seneca Coal Company, 37796 Routt County Road 53, P.O. Box 670, Hayden, Colorado 81639, has <br />filed with the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, an application for Permit <br />Revision (No.02) to the Seneca II Mine, Permit C-80-005. This revision presents a reduction in size <br />of the Seneca II permit boundary. SCC proposes to reduce the size of the original Seneca II permit <br />area to accommodate the new Peabody Sage Creek Mine (PSCM) permit area. The PSCM permit <br />area will include approximately 3,011.9 acres of the original Seneca II permit area. The revised <br />Seneca II permit area will retain 386.5 acres of the original permit area that includes 271.0 disturbed <br />acres. This new Seneca II Mine permit boundary encompasses one isolated watershed and separates <br />runoff from the Seneca II Mine and the new PSCM permit area. The watershed discharges to Pond <br />008, which is an approved NPDES discharge point. A reduction in the amount of bond is proposed <br />for the smaller Seneca II permit area, to reflect the reduced reclamation liability. <br />The general legal description of the "current" Seneca II Mine Permit Area is described as: <br />T5N.
