Dear Mr. Smith:
The purpose of this letter, as required by Rule 2.08.5(2)(a) of the Rules and Regulations of the Colorado
Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, is to inform you that the five -year permit term for the

continue to operate the mine beyond that date, a complete application for renewal of the permit must be
received at least 180 days prior to its expiration (Rule 2.08.5(3)(f)). Therefore the application would
need to be found complete on or before December 24, 2013.
In order to allow the Division time to thoroughly review the application for completeness, we request
that you submit the application by December 10, 2013.
Enclosed is a renewal application form which should be submitted with the following information, at a
minimum, as required by Rule 2.08.5(2)(b):
A statement of the name and address of the permittee, the term of the requested renewal, the
permit number, and a description of any changes to the matters set forth in the original
application for a permit or prior permit renewal;
A copy of the newspaper notice to be placed in a local newspaper in accordance with the
requirements of Rule 2.073(2): and
Evidence that a liability insurance policy or adequate self - insurance, under Rule 2.03.9, will be
provided by the applicant for the proposed period of renewal.
Should you or your staff have questions or need additional information, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Q-1 �_
