<br /> <br />Because the above referenced permit revision application may incorporate additional lands into the <br />permit area or might otherwise alter previously approved permit conditions or mitigation measures, <br />the Division is coordinating with the Office of Surface Mining on evaluation of the potential for <br />impacts to threatened or endangered species of plants or animals, or wildlife species otherwise <br />protected by federal law. A copy of the permit section addressing potential effects of the operation <br />to threatened and endangered (T&E) species has been forwarded to the Office of Surface Mining. <br />The OSM will prepare any biological assessment necessary for approval based on the information <br />provided in the application. The OSM will coordinate with your office as necessary. This <br />coordination is required to ensure mitigation of potential impacts to federally protected wildlife <br />species. <br /> <br />The applicant is required to publish notice in the Durango Herald that this permit revision <br />application has been deemed complete. At the time of publication of this notice, the app licant is <br />additionally required to place a copy of this application at the La Plata County Clerk and Recorder, <br />98 Everett Street, Suite C, Durango, CO 81303 and at the Division office.
