RE: Seneca II-W, Permit C-82-057, TR 7 and Response to
Stipulation 15
Dear Mr. Mount:
Enclosed please find three copies of revised Appendix 13-3
• (Tab 13) to the Seneca II-W PAP. This appendix was
originally submitted with TR 5. Stipulation 15, attached
to the approval of TR 5, required submittal of additional
bonding information. Based on comments in your letter of
November 8, 1989, Peabody submitted revised costs on
December 21, 1989. Subsequent review by the Division
(your letter of March 2, 1990) and several phone
conversations resulted in changes to the equipment cost
estimating methods. These changes are reflected in the
enclosed revised Appendix 13-3.
In addition, item number 2 from your comment letter of
March 21, 1990 concerning TR 7 required a reevaluation of
the bond calculations based on the final agreement on
Stipulation 15. The revised bond calculations for TR 7
are also rolled into the revised Appendix 13-3.
To summarize, based on the revised equipment costs, the
increased reclamation liability due to TR 5 is $519,633,
exceeding the current bonding level ($2,646,300) by
5140,632 (see page 13-3-1 cost comparison). TR 7 costs
add an additional $28,341. Therefore, the current bond
liability is $2,815,273, or $168,973 over the current bond
held by the State for Seneca II-W.
• Upon approval of these numbers by the Division Peabody
will submit a new bond for $300,000, which will bring the
