The acreage information provided on the application form submitted with the revision materials <br />appears to be in error. The form indicates there will a decrease in permitted acreage of 214.7 acres, <br />with corresponding decreases in state (56.1 acres) and private (158.6 acres). Appendix 3 -1 of the <br />currently approved permit application package includes a legal description for the TAHR that shows <br />that the total acreage is 214.5 acres, of which 55.7 acres are state owned. Please verify which <br />acreage is correct, and revise the application form if necessary. <br />Response: The 214.7 acres is a digitized /calculated /reconciled number which Seneca has been using for <br />a number of years. The 55.7 (state- owned) acres used by the Division is evidently a number that was <br />approved during the initial permit approval process (over 30 years ago) and that the Division has been <br />using ever since. Seneca also reconciled this number and has been using 56.1 acres which can be <br />documented digitally. The application form doesn't need further revision. <br />2. For all deleted exhibits, permit pages, and permit sections, SCC needs to include a page that <br />indicates that the item has been intentionally deleted. <br />Response: An attempt has been made to comply with this comment. <br />Permit Index List of Exhibits <br />3. Deleted exhibits should be listed and noted as "deleted" <br />• Response: Permit Index List of Permits has been revised. <br />Seneca Coal Company • P.O.
