(6) Any change in the mining operations and reclaunation plan that would result in a change in the <br />post-inining land case where the suuface is federally -owned. <br />PR -l5 proposes no change in the post -mining land use on federally -owned surface lands. <br />It is OSMRE's determination that PR -15 constitutes a mining plan modification requiring the <br />preparation of a mining plan decision document and approval from the ASLM before the proposed <br />mining operations can be conducted on lands containing leased Federal coal. OSMRE's decision is <br />based upon consideration of the Federal regulations under 30 CFR 740 and 746 and not the technical <br />aspects of PR -15. Should you have any questions please contact Lauren Mitchell, Federal Lands <br />Coordinator, at (303) 293-5028 or lmitche112@osmre.gov. <br />Sincerely, <br />Elizabeth Shaeffer <br />Program Support Division Manager <br />Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement <br />1999 Broadway, Suite 3320 <br />Denver, CO 80202 <br />(303) 293-5025 <br />CC: <br />Leigh Simmons <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Department of Natural Resources <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />
