SECTION III - REQUESTED REVISIONS OF PERMIT APPLICATION and
MIDTERM ADEQUACY QUESTIONS
As a result of this midterm review, for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of the
Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, and the Regulations of the Colorado Mined
Land Reclamation Board for Coal Mining, pursuant to Rule 2.08.3, the Division finds that the
permit application C-1981-010 contains the below bulleted deficiencies. The Division requests
that the permittee correct the deficiencies by submission of revised permit pages under
appropriate revision applications, by September 30, 2015.
The Division recognizes that sections of the permit are currently being revised by PR -07. An
adequacy letter regarding PR -07 was sent to TMI on 6/12/2015.
2.03.4 Identification of Interest
• If PR -07 is not issued, TMI will need to update the applicable information in Section 1
of the permit binder by August 28, 2015.
2.04.4 Baseline Cultural and Historical Information
2.04.4(2)
Appendix K of the permit contains the results of cultural resource inventories conducted for the
site. It should be noted that PR7 currently under review by the Division adds 774.8 acres to the
permit area to the east of the currently approved permit area. Trapper has not submitted a plan
to affect land within the expansion area. Prior to disturbance within this area, Trapper will
need to conduct a cultural resources survey.
• Pages 2-588 and 4-3 of the permit state that Archeological Site 5MF290 (A.K.A.
51VIF949) is within the proposed mine plan area but is outside of the permit area. This
site does not appear to be within the permit area or the mine plan area. These pages
will need to be updated accordingly.
• Page 2-588 indicates that site 5MF945 will not be destroyed by the mining operation;
however, page 4-3 indicates that site was disturbed by the mining operation during
the 1992-1997 permit term. Page 2-588 should be revised to indicate this site was
destroyed or disturbed by the mining operation.
