Notice of Proposed Decision <br />The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety has issued a proposed decision to <br />approve Bond Release Application No. 4 (SL -4) for the Southfield Mine, Permit No. C-1981-014. <br />In addition to the areas included in the EFCI SL -04 application, the adequacy process resulted in <br />another small area (the spur off the MW -NW road) being left within the permit boundary. This <br />change was due to the omission of this area from the areas subject to possible vegetation <br />sampling. The underground operation is operated by Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. under the provisions <br />of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act of 1979. The bond release application was <br />submitted by Energy Fuels Coal, Inc. on January 22, 2016. SL -04 is a request for a partial bond <br />release (phases I, II, and III) that would release liability for all of the permit area except for two <br />small areas: a substation and road, and a road to a well. The affected area is located in Fremont <br />County, approximately 7 miles South of Florence, Colorado. <br />Copies of the proposed decision are available for review at the Colorado Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety office, 1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, Colorado 80203, and on the <br />Division's website at <br />http://mining.state.co.us/Reports/MiningData/Pa.esg /ImagedDocumentData.aspx. A user's guide <br />for our document imaging system is also available in pdf format at the same web address. <br />Any person who has an interest which is or may be adversely affected may request an adjudicatory <br />hearing regarding this proposed decision. Requests for a hearing must be made in writing within <br />thirty (30) days of the first publication of this notice, and shall state with reasonable specificity the <br />reasons for the request and objections to the proposed decision. <br />
