The revision was submitted by New Elk Coal Company, LLC. <br />All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the Regulations initiate from this date <br />of filing. <br /> <br />TR-19 proposes to revise Figure 14 within Exhibit 15 to show the altered schedule for pond <br />cleaning. It includes SEDCAD analyses to support this change of the figure. This revision does <br />not propose any on-the-ground changes at the mine site, nor does it change the Reclamation Cost <br />Estimate for the Lorencito Canyon Mine permit. The applicant is not proposing additional <br />surface disturbance outside of the area currently approved for disturbance. <br /> <br />The surface coal mining operation is on land located approximately 3 miles West of Segundo on <br />Hwy 12. The permit area is further described as follows: <br /> <br />Lands south of the Purgatorie River, lands east of Cow Canyon, lands north of the Puertecito <br />Canyon, and lands west of Little Jeff Canyon, covering approximately 3,142 acres. <br />
