�s Co Coal ny Seneca Coal Company <br />July 12, 2013 <br />Mr. Jared Ebert <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety RECEIVED <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80202 JUL 17 2013 <br />RE: Seneca II -W Mine (Permit C -82 -057) p OF p i <br />2012 Annual Reclamation Report Adequacy Response U NilW,AND 5AFPW <br />Mr. Ebert, <br />Seneca Coal Company (SCC) has reviewed your letter dated June 26, 2013 regarding the 2012 <br />Annual Reclamation Report and is providing the following response to your Adequacy Review <br />Items. <br />The report indicates that 1,151.45 acres have been Phase I bond released. However, <br />according to the Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance for SL -3; the latest <br />approved Phase I bond release application, the total amount of land that has been Phase <br />I bond released at the site is 1,134.25 acres. Seneca Coal Company needs to correct the <br />annual reclamation report form and cite the correct acreage amount that has been <br />approved for Phase I bond release. <br />Response: On August 11, 2010 Seneca Coal Company sent a letter to Dan Mathews <br />identifying acreage discrepancies in the SL -2 Findings Document (attached). The surveyed <br />acreages provided by SCC were accepted and the approved Phase I acreage amount has been <br />1,151.45 acres since then (as listed in the 2011 ARR - attached). <br />It appears that during the preparation of the SL -3 Findings an incorrect acreage amount was <br />used by the Division. <br />If there any questions please contact me at (970) 276 -5217. <br />Sincerely <br />Roy A.
