2-21 <br />is 2.1.7 Existing U/G Mines <br />Historically, there have been small coal mining operations in the Douglas Pass area as can <br />be ascertained from opened coal seam outcrops, derelict mining structures, and small refuse <br />sites. Two mines of this type are located in the vicinity of McClane Canyon. The Bert Long Mine <br />is located just west of Highway 139 in the canyon opposite from McClane; specifically, SW1/4, <br />NEI/4, Section 20. This small mine was in operation during 1933 and 1934 and produced <br />approximately 384 tons of coal from a four foot thick portion of the Palisade Seam. The mine <br />is outside of the permit boundary and will not effect or be effected by the McClane Canyon <br />h,T>7'W <br />The other mine was the Monger Mine located in the drainage of Munger Creek primarily in <br />the SWI/4, SE1/4, Section 22 on Fee land. According to records at the Colorado Division of <br />• Mines, mining occurred sporadically between 1933 and 1947 with a total production of 5,325 <br />CJ <br />tons from the Carbonera Seam. The mine extended approximately 800 feet from outcrop <br />towards the southeast. This mine is not in an area that will be mined by Grand Valley during the <br />next two permit terms. There should be no problems with this mine either. <br />MC Volume 1 4-29-96 <br />
