U <br />Mr. Zach Trujillo <br />November 20, 2015 <br />Page 6 <br />ITEM 60. In Collom Rule 4, on page 21, the statement that Colowyo will not be mining on any slopes above <br />20 degrees should be revised. Overall, the slopes are well less than 20 degrees, but in the vicinity of Little <br />Collom Gulch the slope is roughly 25 degrees. The text should explain the difference between the overall <br />area and an "occasional steep slope" as discussed in Rule 4.27.2. <br />Response: The sentence noted in the adequacy comment has been removed from Section 4.14.2, and <br />Section 4.27 has been updated to reflect Rule 4.27.2. <br />ITEM 61. In Volume 22, Map 20C Sheet 1 has some errors: the revision table does not indicate PR -04 and <br />the pit reference is "Collom Lite." <br />Response: Map 20C has been revised accordingly. <br />ITEM 62. Map 20C Sheet 2 has been removed, but DRMS believes that it should remain to show sections F <br />and G. Map 18B shows these sections, and they go through the pit. (If it can be explained why this map is <br />not necessary, Map 20C should not be labeled "1 of 2".) <br />Response: Map 20C Sheet 2 has been removed as it delineated sections for Little Collom X Pit which was <br />removed from the mine plan under the PR -04 initial submittal. Map 18B has been updated to portray the <br />original sections that were reviewed and approved under PR -03 for the Collom Pit. The sections <br />included on revised Map 18B are consistent with Map 20C and 19C. <br />ITEM 63. For Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. AVS lists Julie Kilty as the <br />Assistant Secretary since November 26, 2012. Page Exhibit 2-11, revised 8/17/15 indicates that Wayne <br />Connell is the Assistant Secretary. Please revise page Exhibit 2-11 to provide the transition date when <br />Wayne Connell assumed duties as Assistant Secretary from Julie Kilty. <br />Response: Julie Kilty has been a Director starting on November 26, 2012. She was elected as the <br />Assistant Secretary on April 8, 2015. Wayne Connell chaired the position through April 8, 2015; <br />therefore, Colowyo is not sure why AVS is showing her as being elected on November 26, 2012. Exhibit 2 <br />has been updated with Julie Kilty as Assistant Secretary as of April 8, 2015, and notes her as a Director <br />as she still currently holds the Director position also. Wayne Connell has been noted on the historical <br />officers and directors list. <br />ITEM 64. In Volume 1, on p2.04.5-1, "general area" is defined, in accordance with rule 1.04, as "that <br />topographic basin that surrounds the area to be mined during the life of the operation". In paragraph 5 <br />this definition is contradicted: "Additional drainages in the "general area ", but outside of the <br />topographic basin..." Similarly confusing language is found in Volume 12 (Rule 2, Page 9) and Volume <br />15 (Rule 2, Page 11). The Division recognizes that this is legacy text and is not proposed to be revised <br />with PR -04, but holds that it should be clarified. Please amend the language in section 2.04.5 in Volumes <br />1, 12 and 15 so that the use of "general area" is consistent with its definition. <br />Response: The text "Additional drainages in the "general area ", but outside of the topographic basin..." <br />in Section 2.04.5 in Volumes 1, 12, and 15 has been removed to eliminate any confusion on the definition <br />of the "general area ". <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />A Touchstone Energy'Cooperative <br />
