The ten day review <br />and comment period provided for in the Act and the Regulations initiates from this date of filing. <br />With this revision, Twentymile Coal, LLC (TC) seeks the approval to convert the existing 5 -Mine <br />North (5MN) borehole to a dewatering borehole and install about 5,000 feet of buried pipeline with <br />vertical culvert access installations at five valve locations. This proposed activity is projected to <br />disturb 4.6 acres in the N1/z of the S1/2 of Section 17, of Township 5 North, Range 86 West. This <br />facility is proposed to be used to pump water from the current and possibly from future mine <br />workings to be transferred to the existing 6 -Main North (6MN) Reservoir, the existing 10 -Right <br />water pipeline or a possible future passive water treatment system. <br />The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 23 miles Southwest of <br />Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The permit area is further described as follows: <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining.state.co.us <br />John W.
