Specifically, <br />pad locations have been revised for MVBs E6-14 and E7-1, 3, & 4. MVB E6-16 and its <br />pad have been eliminated. <br />Attached is a map entitled "2016 Proposed Drill Sites" that shows the revised MVB pad <br />locations as red circles, as well as the former locations (approved in PR -14 and TR -136) <br />as different colored circles as designated in the legend. Also attached is a copy of the <br />map that was included in the approved TR -136 application that might help to clarify the <br />changes made to the longwall panel E6 MVB pads by comparing the two maps. <br />MCC would like to start the 2016 MVB drilling program in June, so your swift <br />consideration and approval of this revision application would be greatly appreciated. <br />Please don't hesitate to contact me at (970) 929-2238 or by e-mail should you have <br />questions regarding this submittal. <br />Sincerely, /� l <br />Kathleen G.
