(Tri-State), is the parent <br />company to Axial Basin Coal Company, which is the general partner to Colowyo Coal Company <br />L.P. (Colowyo). Therefore, Tri-State on behalf of Colowyo is submitting three (3) copies of <br />minor revision 181 (MR -180) to Permit No. C-1981-019. <br />MR -181 proposes an adjusted mine plan timing for the South Taylor Pit to ensure mining <br />is not impacted until the finalization of pending permit renewal (RN -07) for Colowyo. <br />Additionally, MR -181 will adjust the overall pit shell for the South Taylor Pit. Both of these <br />revision have been submitted RN -07; however, both items need to be adjusted until the Division <br />can finalize its review of RN -07 and propose a decision. Further, Tri-State has successfully <br />applied for and retained successive right of renewal for Permit No. C-1981-019 under RN -07, <br />and both items have been discussed with the Division prior to submittal of the minor revision. <br />Also included in this minor revision are a revision application and a change of index <br />sheet to ease incorporation of this revision into the permit document. If you should have any <br />additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact Tony Tennyson at (970) 824-1232 at <br />your convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel J.
