<br />Proposed Decision and Findings of Compliance July 2018 <br />Permit Renewal No. 7 P a g e | 57 <br />PAP in Section 4.27 and on Maps 18A and 19B, the pre-mining topography and the post-mining <br />topography, respectively. <br /> <br />Land above the highwall will only be disturbed to rip and grade the highwall to blend with the <br />backfilled and regraded pit and to achieve highwall reduction. This reduction will also help to <br />control surface water runoff by diverting the water into an approved post-mining drainage channel. <br />No temporary overburden storage is planned for above the highwall. <br /> <br />The lands where the variance is being requested are owned by both Colowyo and the BLM. Both <br />Colowyo and the BLM have requested, in writing, that the variance be granted. <br /> <br />Colowyo is not planning on retaining any spoil material on the highwall bench. <br /> <br />Mining and reclamation actives for the Collom area will predominantly occur on slopes that are <br />less than 20 degrees and Rule 4.27 isn’t applicable for this part of the mine.
