<br /> <br />Public Notice <br /> <br /> <br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, of the Colorado <br />Revised Statutes, hereby issues notice that on April 1, 2016, a minor revision application (MR-295) to the <br />Foidel Creek Mine, Permit No. C-1982-056, operated by Twentymile Coal, LLC, 29515 Routt County <br />Road No. 27, Oak Creek, CO 80467 was considered complete for the purposes of filing. Twentymile <br />Coal, LLC. is seeking a revision to the permit to conduct geotechnical investigations for a possible passive <br />treatment system. The geotechnical investigations will involve completion of eight backhoe test-pits to <br />depths of approximately 15 feet; physical examination of the soil profile, and collection, examination, and <br />testing of soil samples. No new roads are proposed to be constructed for this project. Each test-pit will be <br />backfilled on completion of sampling with the excavated material and leveled. The test-pit locations will <br />be seeded in the spring. Twentymile Coal, LLC. indicates an increase in disturbed and affected area of .1 <br />acres will result from these investigations. Given the increase in surface disturbance, an increase in <br />reclamation liability will be evaluated. The applicant is proposing additional surface disturbance outside <br />of the area currently approved for disturbance. All reviews and comment periods as provided in the Act <br />and Regulations promulgated thereunder initiate from this date of filing. <br /> <br /> <br /> Posted April 1, 2016 <br /> <br /> C-MR-03
