Legal, Financial, Compliance and Related Information <br />The New Horizon North Mine area is located in the W '/2 of Section 25, Township 47 North, <br />Range 16 West of the New Mexico Principal Meridian. A significant portion of the mine permit <br />area corresponds to the original NH1 Mine area previously permitted by Peabody Coal Company <br />(PCC), in connection with a permit application submitted in April 1980 and approved in May <br />1993 as Permit No. C-1981-008. Other portions of the North Mine permit area, were permitted <br />and mined prior to 1973 as a portion of the Navajo and Nucla strip mines which were mined by <br />the Edna Coal Company starting in 1958 and subsequently by PCC until 1992, when WFC <br />purchased the property and renamed the operation the New Horizon Mine. <br />PCC submitted an application for the Nucla Mine in April 1981 and Permit No. C-1981-008 was <br />issued by the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division in May 1983. The separate Nucla East <br />Mine was incorporated into the permit in 1989. In 1992, the mining permit was transferred to <br />Western Fuels -Colorado (WFC) and the two permit areas were renamed the New Horizon 1 <br />(NH 1) and New Horizon 2 (NH2) Mines. All mining at NH (formerly the Nucla Mine) was <br />completed by PCC while mining at NH2 (formerly Nucla East) has been conducted solely by <br />WFC. Map 2.04.3-2 delineates areas previously mined, including "pre -law" disturbance, NH1 <br />and NH2 permit area boundaries and areas of previous coal extraction within these permit <br />boundaries. NH 1 Mine will cease to exist after the approval of NHN Mine permit by DRMS. <br />The statements below are intended to address the requirements of Section 2.03 of the regulations <br />of the State of Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. <br />2.03.4(1) The applicant is a Colorado Limited Liability Company <br />2.03.4(2)(a) Identification of Permit Applicant <br />Western Fuels -Colorado, a Limited Liability Company <br />P.O.
