Proposed Decision <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety proposes to approve an application <br />for permit renewal. <br />The application was submitted by NECC for the mine. This decision is based on a finding that <br />the operations will comply with all requirements of the Colorado State Program as found in the <br />Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et seq., and the Regulations <br />promulgated pursuant to the Act. If no request for a formal hearing is made within thirty (30) <br />days of the first publication of the issuance of this proposed decision, then this decision becomes <br />final. The permit application, all supporting documentation and any stipulations or conditions <br />will become a binding part of the permit. <br />Stipulations and Revisions <br />There are no outstanding stipulations on the permit <br />Since the last Permit Renewal, RN -05, in June 2009, one technical revision and two minor <br />revisions have been approved. No permit revisions or bond release applications were submitted <br />during that time. <br />Table 1: Technical Revisions since RN -05, June 2009 <br />Revision <br />Description <br />Status <br />TR -57 <br />Address Midterm review issues, including <br />Approved April 2012 <br />the transfer of five monitoring wells to the <br />MR -85 <br />New Elk mine permit <br />Approved July 2014 <br />Table 2: Minor Revisions since RN -05, June 2009 <br />Revision <br />Description <br />Status <br />MR -84 <br />Update section 2.03.4: Identification of <br />Approved March 2010 <br />Interests <br />MR -85 <br />Update Section 2.05.4(2)(e): Revegetation <br />Approved July 2014 <br />Plan <br />5 <br />
