The application was deemed complete on <br />December 18, 2017. <br /> <br />TR-142 proposes to allow for initial SST south mains development mining toward the future <br />potential Sunset Trail longwall panels development area, or the potential Mt. Gunnison Fuel (MCC <br />fee) panel area. After mining to the south of the fault zone (permitted with Minor Revision 425), <br />four to six entries are proposed to be developed approximately six cross-cuts to the south, to the <br />southern boundary of federal coal lease C-1362. All of the proposed unedrground development is <br />within the current permit boundary. The applicant is not proposing additional surface disturbance <br />outside of the area currently approved for disturbance. <br /> <br />Permit Revision (PR), Permit Renewal (RN), or Technical Revision (TR) application materials are <br />available for review at the Gunnison County Clerk and Recorder, 221 N. Wisconsin, Gunnison, CO <br />81230 and at the Division’s Denver office. Minor Revision (MR) and Surety Release (SL) <br />application materials are available for review at the Division’s Denver office. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />
