<br /> Technical Revision Application No. 132 (TR-132)

<br />
<br />
<br />Dear Mr. Strand:
<br />
<br />The Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34,
<br />Article 33, Section 118, Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on July 19, 2019, an
<br />application to revise coal mining operations at the Colowyo Coal Mine was considered complete
<br />for the purposes of filing. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the
<br />Regulations initiate from this date of filing.
<br />
<br />TR-132 proposes an updated surface hydrology model for the Section 16 Pond watershed to
<br />appropriately delineate the sub-watersheds including Phase III released lands. The applicant is not
<br />proposing additional surface disturbance outside of the area currently approved for disturbance.

<br />Colorado. The permit area is further described as follows:
<br />
