The applicant proposes to continue underground coal mining with no <br />additional surface disturbance. Mining activities may result in underground dewatering activities <br />and extension of mine ventilation and support systems. The mining operation is located <br />approximately 9 miles Southeast of Hayden in Routt County. The State Engineers Office (SEO) <br />offers the following comments on this project: <br />Currently, the stream system in this location is not overappropriated, however, if the <br />stream system at this location becomes overappropriated, the storage and use of any surface <br />water will be subject to administration. <br />Lastly, if construction or operation activities of this project affect the flow of a stream or <br />ditch we recommend that the applicants consult with the local Water Commissioner. The local <br />Water Commissioner is Brian Romig and may be reached at Brian. Romig @state. co. us. <br />Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this project. If you have any questions, <br />please contact me at this office. <br />Sincere <br />Ivan Franco <br />Water Resource Engineer <br />HIF: Peasbody Sage Creek Mine C- 2009 -087 (RN1).docx <br />cc: Erin Light, Division Engineer, Division 6 <br />Brian Romig, Water Commissioner, District 57 <br />Office of the State Engineer <br />1313 Sherman Street, Suite 818 • Denver, CO 80203 • Phone: 303 - 866 -3581 • Fax: 303 - 866 -3589 <br />http: / /water.state.co.us <br />
