<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 May 9, 2016, a minor revision application (MR-296) 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. has submitted a revision to the approved permit for the Foidel Creek Mine to install, operate <br />and reclaim two new boreholes. One borehole will be a monitoring and control borehole, which will <br />allow air to be drawn from the sealed mine areas by an exhauster unit. The second borehole will be used <br />as a grout or utility pipe and a power drop or communication cable drop. The installation will consist of a <br />new light-use road, the new borehole pad; adjacent soil material stockpiles, two cased and grouted <br />boreholes extending into the Wolf Creek Coal Seam mine working, a surface blower installation, and a <br />powerline extension to provide power to the blower units. Currently Twentymile Coal has identified three <br />potential borehole locations, however only one location will be developed and completed. Twentymile <br />Coal estimates an additional 4.2 acres of surface disturbance will be necessary for this project. The <br />surface disturbance will occur on privately owned land and above State owned minerals. The applicant <br />is proposing additional surface disturbance outside of the area currently approved for disturbance. All <br />reviews and comment periods as provided in the Act and Regulations promulgated thereunder initiate <br />from this date of filing. <br /> <br /> <br /> Posted May 9, 2016 <br /> <br /> C-MR-03
