Section 2.03 <br />Legal, Financial, Compliance and Related Information <br />Western Fuels Colorado, A Limited Liability Company (WFC) is renewing Permit No. C -81 -008. <br />WFC's New Horizon 1 & 2 Mine is the old Peabody Coal Company Nucla & Nucla East Mine which <br />operated under the same permit. This old Peabody Nucla mine area (the New Horizon 1 mine <br />area) is undergoing final reclamation. Bond was released on 215.5 acres of the New Horizon 1 <br />mine area in the Spring of 2002. WFC assumes that bonding responsibility on the remaining <br />98.62 acres of NI-11 land until such time as bond is released. <br />This application is intended to apply only to the New Horizon 2 (formerly Nucla East) mine area. <br />Descriptions of environmental baseline data, mining and reclamation plans contained in this <br />application are limited to the New Horizon 2 mine area. The New Horizon 1 area is not addressed <br />in this application. It is undergoing reclamation and there will be no further disturbances at New <br />Horizon 1. There will be minor activity at the New Horizon 1 area to meet bond release <br />requirements (general caretaking activities), but no mining or other disturbances. No New Horizon <br />2 activity will affect New Horizon 1. All CC ditch activities are located at New Horizon 2. Therefore <br />the New Horizon 1 area is not addressed in this permit renewal. Reclamation commitments for the <br />New Horizon 1 area are contained in a separate document entitled Reclamation Plan. <br />The statements below are intended to address the requirements of Section 2.03 of the regulations <br />of the Office of Mined Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining. <br />Revised April 2012 (MR -83) 2.03 -1 <br />
