IX. AGENCY COMMENTS <br />Agency request for comments were mailed on January 29, 2014, with an invitation for revised comments sent <br />on December 29, 2015. <br />1. Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety <br />Submitted the following comments in an email dated August 6, 2012: <br />"The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has reviewed the Agency Request for Comment, with the <br />attached Narrative and Site Plan for this project. Thank you for soliciting our input. The Division has no <br />comments to make regarding GCC Energy's proposed plans for expansion of the King II Coal Mine. " <br />Marcia Talvitie <br />2. CDOT <br />Submitted the following comments in an email dated August 31, 2015: <br />CDOT has reviewed GCC's Class II proposal to La Plata County and has the following comments: <br />1. The State Highway Access Permit for this facility (9513005), while not yet completed, remains in <br />effect until July 2016. The Terms & Conditions remain as stated in the permit (copy attached for <br />your convenience). <br />2. In April 2015, the Permittee obtained an interim Notice to Proceed for tree -trimming and signing to <br />provide a safer interim condition while production at the mine ramps up to its full capacity which <br />will require the highway improvements stated in the Access Permit. <br />3. The Permittee advises CDOT that the highway improvements required by the Access Permit (left - <br />and right -turn deceleration lanes from SH 140 onto CR 120) are scheduled for completion in 2016 <br />4. The Permittee has submitted preliminary construction plans for the highway improvements, and will <br />still need to submit the remaining requirements for a Notice to Proceed prior to beginning <br />construction. <br />5. The Class II proposal does not appear to change any of the conditions addressed by the State <br />Highway Access Permit; therefore, CDOT has no objections to this proposal. <br />6. CDOT would like there to be a requirement for a luminaire at the intersection of SH 140 and CR <br />120. " <br />- Jo Heinlein <br />3.
