GCC GCC Energy, LLC <br />Telephone: 970.385.4528 6473 County Road 120 <br />Energy "Safety as a Value" Facsimile: 970.385.4638 Hesperus, CO 81326 <br />April 30, 2015 <br />State of Colorado <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />691 CR 233, Suite A -2 <br />Durango, CO 81301 <br />Attention: Marcia Talvitie <br />Re: King II Mine C- 1981 -035 <br />Midterm Permit Review No. 7 (MT -07) Response <br />Dear Ms. Talvitie: <br />RECEIVED <br />APR 3 01015 <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining & Safety <br />This document and attachments are submitted in response to your letter of February 18th, 2015, regarding <br />Midterm Permit Review No. 7 (MT -07). The following instances in which the Division feels the permit is <br />inadequate with respect to the Regulations for Coal Mining were identified by the Division. Responses to <br />these comments are itemized below: <br />2.03.4 Identification of Interests <br />1. Rules 2.03.4(6) (surface and coal ownership, etc. for the permit area) and (7) (surface and subsurface <br />ownership of areas contiguous to the permit) are not addressed completely in King I and King II <br />Sections 2.03.4 of the permit. Neither does the text direct the reader to where the required <br />information may be found. Please revise permit sections 2.03.4 to include the required information, <br />differentiating between those owners within the permit area and those owners contiguous to the <br />permit area. (The Division suggests that, for ease of future updates, the addresses be shown in the <br />permit text only, and not on the maps.) <br />Surface and coal ownership has been provided as requested in King I: Section 2.03.4 page 4, and King II: <br />Section 2.03.4 page 4. <br />2. King I and King II Maps 002 (Surface Ownership) provide the names and addresses of the surface <br />owners of land within and contiguous to the permit area (with the exception of Wiltze [spelled <br />" Wiltze" according to County records]). It appears these maps have not been updated since 2007 <br />and 2006, respectively. Please review the information represented on these maps for accuracy, and <br />update as necessary. <br />Maps King 1 -002 and King II -002 have been updated to reflect current La Plata County records as shown <br />on the La Plata County GIS website. These maps now include statements directing the reader to <br />permit Sections 2.03.4 for name as addresses of surface owners of land within and contiguous to <br />the permit area. <br />Page 1 <br />
