Therefore, no <br />mining plan modification is needed. If GCC Energy, at some point, proposes a decrease or increase of the total <br />amount of coal to be mined, a mining plan modification may be required. If such a case should arise, I will <br />need to evaluate the change at that time. <br />Have a great day, <br />Nicole Caveny <br />On Wed, Sep 3, 2014 at 2:20 PM, Berry - DNR, David <david.berry@state.co.us> wrote: <br />Hello Nicole - I write to inquire about whether the below referenced Colorado DRMS permitting action will <br />trigger any need for a Federal Mine Plan action. Pertinent messages are included below. <br />As I understand the issue, King Coal submitted a Technical Revision application to Colorado DRMS, indicating <br />a coal production rate increase. We are of the understanding that the increased production will be from coal <br />that is already [eased <br />and permitted through OSM, and that at some point, the production rate will apply to state coal (also already <br />approved for mining by DRMS). <br />"Production rate" is estimated in the DRMS permit, but is not a regulated parameter. We suspect that the <br />DRMS action will not implicate any federal requirement, but your advice is requested about whether or not a <br />Federal Mine Plan Action will be required subsequent to the DRMS Technical Revision process. <br />We understand that the increased production from federal coal within the OSM permit area may cause <br />additional permitting through OSM. <br />Thank you, <br />David Berry <br />---- - - - - -- Forwarded message ---- - - - - -- <br />From: Talvitie - DNR, Marcia <marcia.talvitie @state.co.us> <br />Date: Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 4:01 PM <br />Subject: Re: King Coal TR -23 - Increase in Production <br />To: "Berry - DNR, David" <david.berry@state.co.us> <br />I believe it would be generated from the OSM permit area first, but might carry over into the State Land <br />Board portion at some later date. <br />On Tue, Sep 2, 2014 at 3:59 PM, Berry - DNR, David <david.berry@state.co.us> wrote: <br />Thanks Marcia. I'll check with OSM, but first need a bit more information. <br />From which area will the increased production derive? <br />Thanks, <br />https: /f mail. google.comimaillu /0 / ?ui= 2 &ik =91 a975f658 &view =pt& search= inbox &msg= 1488a490e6684fb0 &siml= 1488a490e6684fb0 113 <br />
