Room 21 5 <br /> <br />Dem~er, Colorado 80203 I~~~~ <br />Phone: (703) 866-3567 <br />FAX. 13031 8328106 <br />January 19, 1995 DEPARTMENT OF <br />• NATURAL <br /> RESOURCES <br />To: Susan Burgmaier Roy Romer <br /> Governor <br /> <br />From: Janet BinnS lames 5. Lochhead <br />Executive Director <br /> Michael B. long <br /> Division Dnector <br />Re: Yoast Application Review (C-94-082): AP <br />I have reviewed portions of the Yoast permit application package (C-94-082). Sections I <br />have reviewed include: <br />1) Tab 4: Pre-mining Land Use <br />2) Tab 9: Soil Baseline Study <br />3) Tab 10: Vegetation <br />4) Tab 21: Minesoil Reconstruction <br />5) Tab 22: Revegetation Plan <br />The PAP was reviewed for compliance with Rules 2.04.9, 2.04.10, 2.04.13, 2.05.4(2)(d) and <br />(e), 2.06.6, 4.06, 4.15, [2.06.8-AVF limited], 4.06. <br />Overall the PAP has been thorough at addressing the cited Rules. Seneca Coal Company <br />has incorporated experience derived from the nearby Seneca II and Seneca II W Mines into <br />this application. I had few items of concern, which follow: <br />1) Throughout Tab 21 and 22 Seneca Coal Company (SCC) refers to retention of haul <br />roads A and B, I did not locate the Division's approval of the permanent retention <br />of this structure. Has it received approval and do the affected landowners approve <br />the retention too? (Rule 4.03.1(1)(f)) <br />A) Table 2 Tab 21 eliminates the 10.2 acres occupied by haul roads A and B in <br />the soil replacement calculations. Until approval has been granted for <br />permanence of the haul road that acreage should be included in the soil <br />replacement calculations. This will change the soil replacement depth at <br />facilities area in section 8 and haul road A and B corridor to 1.0 ft. <br />replacement thickness instead of 1,1 ft. thickness. <br />
