cation No. 9, submitted by Trapper Mining, Inc. for a
coal mining permit at the Trapper Mine (Permit No.
C-1981-010). This requested PR comprises the five

es disturbing an additional 1.4 acres situated within

pit will be reopened. Reclamation will continue in
Kimber, Lancaster and Ashmore pits.
The Trapper Mine is a/an surface operation located

approximately 11,156.69 acres.
This proposed decision is based on a finding that
the proposed operation will comply with all require-
ments of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Recla-
mation Act, Section 34 33 101, et seq., C.R.S., and
the regulations promulgated thereunder.

ulations, are on file for public inspection at the
