The first topic was whether or not any unleased coal within a mine's permit boundary should be included or <br />shown on the coal ownership map. The direction we received is that yes, all coal within a permit boundary, <br />whether leased or not, needs to be included and shown on the coal ownership map. The second issue was <br />whether or not coal ownership at loadout only sites (of which there are three in Colorado) must be shown on a <br />map and included in the permit (even though no coal is permitted to be mined). Again, the direction we received <br />was that yes, ern coal loadouts (only) need a coal ownership map. Since there is no actual mining at these <br />sites, all coal will, in all likelihood, be unleased coal and needs to be shown as such on the coal ownership map. <br />That leads me to the Terror Creek Loadout and you. There is no coal ownership map in the Terror Creek Loadout <br />permit. Since we are currently in a permit renewal, this is a perfect time to get this map into the permit. Please <br />prepare a coal ownership map for the Terror Creek Loadout and send it to the Division for review and <br />inclusion into the RN -06 application and, ultimately, the permit. And, just a heads -up, if the coal <br />ownership map shows that there is any federally owned coal under the Terror Creek Loadout, this will probably <br />change the loadout's status from a "private" mine to a "federal" mine. <br />Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions. <br />James R Stark <br />Colorado Department of Natural Resources <br />Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />https: / /mail.g oog le.conVmai I /u /0 / ?ui =2 &i k= e29129fcb5 &view= pt &search =i nboy&th= 1420587b3Oe5l l d0 2/3 <br />
