In accordance with C.R.S. <br />3433109(7)(x), the Division makes the following determinations which warrant that the permit be <br />renewed: <br />The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are being satisfactorily met; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is in compliance with all <br />requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 3433101 et <br />seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; <br />The renewal requested does not substantially jeopardize the permittee's continuing <br />responsibility on existing permit areas; <br />4. The operator has provided evidence that the performance bond in effect for the operation <br />will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal as well as any additional <br />bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has been provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Seneca Property LLC meets the <br />requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of the permit will be for a <br />term of five (5) years. <br />I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal. <br />DIVISION OF RECLAMATION, MINING AND SAFETY <br />Director Date <br />C -RN -15 <br />
