The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (Division or DRMS) has received
the Blue Mountain Energy, Inc. (BME) submittal of Renewal 6 for the Deserado Mine. The
permit renewal was received on January 22, 2014 and deemed completed on January 30, 2014.
The Division has reviewed the submittal and has the following questions and comments.
1. There are many conflicting references within the permit to the Division as both the
Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (DRMS) and the Division of Minerals and
Geology (DMG). In 2006, the Colorado DMG's name was changed to DRMS. In order
to keep consistency within the permit, please submit the revised pages with updated
reference to DRMS.
• Pages I -1, I -8, II.0 -49, II.0 -77, III -22, III -24, III -25, III -26, IV -5, IV -12, IV -16,
IV -17, IV -22, IV -41, IV -53, IV -56, V -18, V -22, V -23, V -25, V -46, V -47, V -48
and V -54.
2. Page I -1 references the history of prior renewals. Please update page I -1 to include the
current renewal in the permit's discussion.
3. On page I -7 under 2.03.5 — Compliance Information, please update discussions
regarding notice of violations during the three -year period preceding Permit Renewal 6.
