Box 187 <br /> Craig, CO 81626 <br /> Full Relinquishment of Surface Mineable Coal Accepted <br /> On February 2, 2021, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a letter from <br /> Trapper Mining Inc (TMI), which requested the full relinquishment of the surface <br /> mineable coal under Federal Coal Lease C0007518. Under 43 CFR 3452.1-3, the BLM <br /> can approve a relinquishment if it determines (1) the relinquishment will not impair the <br /> public interest, (2) any accrued rentals and royalties have been paid, and (3) the lessee has <br /> met all the obligations under the regulations and terms of the lease. <br /> On March 9, 2021, BLM's Little Snake Field Office (LSFO) determined that accepting the <br /> relinquishment will not impair the public interest. The LSFO found that TMI met all of its <br /> obligations under the terms of the lease and applicable regulations and is in compliance <br /> with the completion of surface operations and coal reserves will be adjusted in accordance <br /> with 43 CFR 3480. Any final surface reclamation and permanent abandonment procedures <br /> remain subject to 43 CFR 3484.2 (b). Further, the Office of Natural Resources Revenue <br /> (ON RR) reviewed the lease status and indicated on letter dated April 14 there are no <br /> accrued rentals and royalties due. Therefore, pursuant to regulations found at 43 CFR <br /> 3452, the BLM accepts the full relinquishment of surface mineable coal on coal lease <br /> C0007518 effective February 2, 2021, the date of filing of the application, including the 1, <br /> M, Q, and R seams as to the following described lands in Moffat County, Colorado: <br /> T5N.
