The application was <br />found complete on August 30, 2013. <br />On October 29, 2013 an initial adequacy review letter sent by the Division stated that Permit <br />Renewal 6 (RN -06) could not be approved, or even properly reviewed, until such time as <br />Technical Revision 68 (TR -68) had been approved. TR -68 was a response to the Mid -Term <br />Permit Review (MT -06), and made changes to large sections of the permit text, as well as several <br />maps and exhibits. TR -68 was issued on February 13, 2015. <br />This letter details additional issues that the Division requires to be addressed in order for the <br />permit to be renewed. These issues have been identified by Leigh Simmons. I may identify <br />additional issues in coming weeks, but I want to send this to you now to give you and your staff <br />time to provide responses. No separate permitting action will be needed to address these issues; <br />pages that are revised in response to this letter should be submitted with "RN -06" in the footer <br />information. <br />Section 1.0 — Table of Contents <br />1. Please update the list of maps to reflect the maps that have been changed since TR - <br />68 was issued, and the dates of the currently approved maps. <br />Rule 2.03 Legal, Financial, Compliance and Related Information <br />2. Section 2.03.4 identifies interested parties. <br />Please verify that the ownership and control information, and the list of neighboring <br />surface and subsurface owners are correct or update them as necessary. <br />cor <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.
