Name of Addressee Page 2 Date on June 22, 2019. The permit that was issued for the Golden Eagle Mine via Permit Renewal RN-01 had a 5-year permit term, from January 24, 1989 to January 25, 1994. Basin Resources Inc was the permittee at the time the application for Permit Renewal RN-02 was submitted on September 7, 1993. The RN-02 application, however, was not submitted in time to allow the company to continue operating past the RN-01 permit expiration date of January 25, 1994. The Division issued its Proposed Decision to Approve RN-02 on January 21, 1994. The RN-01 permit expired on January 25, 1994. Basin Resources, at the Board's January 25, 1994 meeting, sought and obtained temporary relief from the Board, allowing the company to continue operations under an expired permit. The Division's RN-02 Proposed Decision was appealed by an objector(Raton West-Baldwin Ltd)to the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board. The appeal was first heard by the Board at its March 1994 meeting, and continued through the Board's April 1994 and May 1994 meetings. The objector's issues were eventually resolved to the point that the Board,at its May 1994 meeting, approved a modified version of the Division's January 21, 1994 Proposed Decision. A Board Order documenting the Board's review of the Division's Proposed Decision was signed June 22, 1994. Upon the signing of the Board Order,the permit associated with Permit Renewal Application RN-02 was issued, with a five-year permit term from June 22, 1994 to June 22, 1999. Every permit issued subsequent to this RN-02 permit has had five-year permit terms beginning and ending with June 22nd. Please therefore find enclosed two signed Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety Mining permit documents for the Golden Eagle Mine associated with the Division's Final Approval of Permit Renewal Application RN-06 on August 11,2015. An authorized representative of New Elk Coal Company, LLC needs to sign both documents and have them notarized. One must be returned to the Division at the above address;the other must be kept on file at the mine office. Once these are signed and notarized and one is received by the Division, you may discard the permit with the four-year,January 25, 2015 —January 25, 2019 permit term. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding these permit documents. Sincerely, Daniel I. Hernandez Senior Environmental Protection Specialist Attachments(2)
