NOTICE OF PROPOSED DECISION The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety proposes to approve Technical Revision Application No. 3 (TR -3) for the Fruita Loadout (Permit No. C- 2010 -088), submitted by CAM - Colorado, LLC (CAM). CAM proposes to use incremental bonding at the Fruita Loadout in accordance with Rules 3.02.1(5)(b) and (6) and has requested a bond reduction in accordance with Rule 3.02.2(5). Pursuant to Rule 3.02.2(3), this proposal would allow the operator to post the minimum statutorily required bond of $10,000.00. A minimum of 30 days prior to the initiation of any disturbance at the site, CAM would post the appropriate bond for that disturbance increment, as set forth in the permit application package. Although the bond liability at the Fruita Loadout will remain at $1,624,926.00, approval of this revision will allow CAM to reduce their bond held by $1,614,926.00. There are no proposed changes to the Loadout's permitted, affected or disturbed acreages. The Fruita Loadout is a coal mine loadout located in Mesa County, approximately 3 miles NW of Fruita. Coal interest is private, and the surface affected is private land. The permit area encompasses approximately 208.60 acres. This proposed decision is based on a finding that the proposed operation will comply with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, Section 34 -33 -101, et seq., C.R.S., and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Copies of the proposed decision, including stipulations, are on file for public inspection at the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, Room 215, Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203. Persons with an interest that may be adversely affected by the proposed decision may request a formal hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board on the proposed decision. Such request must be made within thirty (30) days of the initial publication of this notice, must be in writing, and must state with reasonable specificity the reasons for the request and the objections to the proposed decision.
