All lands proposed for removal from the permit area have been permitted by Peabody Sage Creek <br />Mining Company, as part of the Sage Creek Mine (Permit No. C2009-087). Peabody Sage Creek Mining Company has <br />assumed liability for all remaining reclamation work on all of the permitted area being removed from the Seneca H Mine. <br />Any person with an interest which may be adversely affected by the proposed decision may request a formal hearing before the <br />Mined Land Reclamation Board within thirty (30) days of the first publication of this notice by the Division in the Steamboat <br />Pilot. <br />The Surface mine is located approximately 9 miles Southeast of Hayden, Colorado.
