The application was deemed complete on <br />September 27, 2018. TR -85 is proposing to reduce the permit boundary by 285.94 acres and revise the <br />Pond 15 design. The Division finished its review of the TR -85 application has the following adequacy <br />questions or comments. <br />In Section 2.03 page 8, it lists under "Other mining operations..." the New Horizon Mine. Since <br />this page is for the New Horizon Mine permit, the other mine that should be listed is the New <br />Horizon North Mine. Please correct this typo. <br />2. In Section 2.03 pages 11-12, the list of contiguous owners needs to be corrected. Richards (9), <br />GW46 (13), Goforth (15) and Slash M (43) are not considered contiguous land owners. They are <br />surface owners listed in Section 2.03.4(6)(a). Moore (18), Higgs (27) and Massini (24) are <br />contiguous land owners that need to be added to the list. <br />3. In Section 2.03 pages 11-12, Raymond Davis needs to be added to the list of contiguous land <br />owners. The Davis property is located adjacent to where the Lincoln Haul Road meets Lincoln <br />Street. <br />4. In Section 2.03 page 12, the list of oil, gas and minerals ownership is missing Benson (41) as <br />owners that need to be added. <br />5. On Map 2.03.4-1— Surface Ownership and Leases, the adjacent landowner north of Parcel 9 <br />needs to be labeled. <br />6. In Section 2.04.3, the top of page 5 states that 286.79 acres are being removed from the permit <br />area. This number is consistent with the cover letter submitted with the application but is <br />6y q0t8,, <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215, Denver, CO 80203 P 303.866.3567 F 303.832.8106 http://mining. state. co. us <br />John W.
