RE: Yoast Mine Permit No. C- 1994 -082
Postmining Land Use Change at Round -About Area
Dennis and Laurie Hallenbeck,
Seneca Coal Company (SCC) is requesting a land use change on 6.25 acres associated with
the west side of the round -about on Rd. 27. As you know this area was a portion of the Yoast
permit area that was used as the dragline deadhead route from Seneca II mine to Yoast Mine.
Prior to the decision to construct the round - about, the area had an approved land use of
grazing/wildlife habitat and SCC had reclaimed the area accordingly. Now that the area has
been re- disturbed by entities other than Seneca Coal Co, SCC no longer has control or
responsibility for the area and is starting the process to remove the area from the Yoast
permit boundary.
This is a three -step process:
1. A technical revision will be submitted by Seneca to the State for approval to change
the current land use of the area from grazing/wildlife habitat to
industrial/commercial;
2. A bond release application will then be submitted by Seneca to the State requesting
approval to release SCC from any further reclamation liability; and
3. Finally, a technical revision will be submitted to the State for approval to remove the
area from the Yoast permit boundary.
The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) is requiring that SCC
submit this letter as documentation that the you are aware of the proposed land use change
and is in agreement with the change.
By signing below, this letter will serve as the documentation that you, as the landowner, are
aware of and are in agreement with the proposed land use change.
