Piihlit- Nntire <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, of the <br />Colorado Revised Statutes, hereby issues notice that on December 27, 2013, a minor revision <br />application (MR -403) to the West Elk Mine, Permit No. C- 1980 -007, operated by Mountain Coal <br />Company, LLC, P.O. Box 591, Somerset, CO 81434 was considered complete for the purposes of <br />filing. The Mountain Coal Company, LLC has submitted a Minor Revision to the West Elk mine's <br />permit. The revision proposes to add a temporary topsoil stockpile, install a culvert in a ditch and line <br />a ditch with a liner instead of riprap. The proposed temporary topsoil stockpile is located at the upper <br />bench of the RPEE. Topsoil was stripped from the next lift at the RPEE but West Elk is not able to <br />haul it to the Sylvester Gulch topsoil stockpile due to weather conditions. The proposed culvert is <br />located in the temporary western clear water ditch. The proposed ditch liner is located in a portion of <br />the west sediment ditch. There will be no changes to the mine's permit boundary, disturbance area or <br />affected area as a result of the changes proposed in this Minor Revision. There will be an increase in <br />the mine's reclamation liability as a result of the changes proposed in this revision. All reviews and <br />comment periods as provided in the Act and Regulations promulgated thereunder initiate from this date <br />of filing. <br />Posted December 27, 2013 <br />Taken Down on 1/22/2014 <br />0 1 - '1- ly <br />
