final cut in the A pit. Wadge Coal pit extraction and progressive development was parallel to the <br />cropline. The South Extension Area added coal recovery in the Sage Creek and Wolf Creek <br />reserves. Mining was completed and coal extraction at Seneca II-W ceased in early January <br />2006. The final areas mined were the Wolf Creek and Sage Creek seams in the South Extension <br />Area; mining had been completed in the original permit area several years previously. <br />All pits have all been entirely backfilled and graded, topsoil has been redistributed and seeding <br />and planting has been completed in all locations of the mine site. <br />Permit, Performance Bond, and Bond Release History <br />The permanent program mining permit was issued on December 31, 1985. Five successive <br />permit renewals have been approved subsequent to the initial permanent program permit <br />approval; the most recent, Permit Renewal No. 5, was issued December 10, 2010, for a permit <br />term that will expire December 31, 2015. The Division currently holds a reclamation bond in the <br />amount of $9,078,860.00. <br />Seneca Coal Company applied for two previous bond releases: SL-1 was submitted on July 16, <br />2006 and withdrawn on March 21, 2007; SL-2 was submitted on August 17, 2009 and partially <br />approved on May 7, 2010. <br />SL-2 Phase I Bond Release Application <br />The total permit area at the Seneca II-W Mine encompasses 4,093 acres of which 1,382 acres were <br />disturbed. In bond release application SL-2, SCC requested Phase I release of 1,166.2 reclaimed <br />acres. The SL-2 release request applied to the original and South Extension mine areas; it did not <br />include any portion of the Tie Across Haul Road corridor. SCCs application requested release of <br />approximately 766 acres of the Original Area and 400 acres of the South Extension Area. <br />Excluded from the SL-2 application were haul road segments that have not yet been reclaimed or <br />modified for postmining use, mine shop facilities, topsoil stockpiles, and sedimentation ponds <br />and stock ponds that have not yet been approved for permanent retention. The Division <br />approved release of 721.9 acres. Specifically excluded were: <br />SL-2 Exclusion Areas <br />Description Acreage <br />South Extension Area 399.50 <br />A Pit Highwall Slump 9.42 <br />Channel 006-NE2 0.23 <br />Channel 006-E1 (006 Gulch) 0.36 <br />Light Use Road LU-IA 0.20 <br />Light Use Road LU-1 0.83 <br />Light Use Road LU-3 and 4 2.35 <br />Oil Well Road 0.95 <br />Road "J" 0.69 <br />Page 6 of 22
