J� 4 TWENTYMILE COAL, LLC - FOIDEL CREEK MINE MR15-2889 5 MAIN NORTH PIPELINES COMPLETENESS RESPONSES (07/15) 1) The Summary of Revisions and Additions table submitted with MR -288 indicated Twentymile Coal, LLC (TC) proposes to replace pages 2.05-45.21, 45.22, 45.23, 45.24, and 45.25. These pages were not submitted with MR -288. Please submit these pages or revise the Summary of Revisions and Additions table. Response: The Summary of Revisions and Additions has been revised, and a copy is attached. Please note that this Summary is provided as a courtesy to simplify and facilitate review and processing, and is not a required part of the application, thus, should not be a completeness consideration. Status: Resolved. 2) Map 23c needs to be revised and updated to account for the surface disturbance associated with MR -288. Response: Map 23C includes (as indicated by the legend); an outline of the underground mine workings, the railroad spur, roads, surface impoundments, and water monitoring locations. It does not show mine facilities, so it would not be appropriate to include the proposed pipeline locations on this map. The pipeline locations are, however, shown on Map 24, Structures and Facilities, copies of which were included with the revision submittal. Map 23C is titled, "Mine Plan Surface Disturbance and Monitoring", and as outlined in the Legend, the disturbed area acreage is depicted on this map. The application indicates the disturbed area will increase 4.6 acres, and thus this map needs to be revised to account for this disturbed area. This issue remains outstanding and will need to be addressed. Response 2: The discrepancy between the Division's initial comment, TC's initial response, and the Division's follow-up comment was discussed by phone, and it was determined that the Division and TC were looking at different versions of Map 23C. Map 23C has been updated to show the 5MN Pipeline disturbance, and copies of the revised map accompany this response. 3) TC indicated they are revising Exhibit 23C with a Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CP99 consultation letter. This letter was not included with the submittal of MR -288. Please submit this letter and indicate how it should be incorporated into Exhibit 23C. Response: The areas potentially affected by the proposed temporary disturbance associated with the 5 Main North Pipelines fall within areas previously reviewed for potential wildlife impacts and addressed by previous CDOW, USFWS, and CPW consultations (6 Main North Ventilation Shaft Installation (TR05-48), 6 Main North Reservoir (TR05-61), and 5 Main North Cement Borehole (MR14-283)). Documentation for those consultations are provided with these responses, to be inserted in Exhibit 23C, at the front of the Exhibit. Status: Resolved.
