Box 187 <br /> Craig, CO 81626 <br /> Partial Relinquishment of Surface <br /> Mineable Coal Accelted <br /> On February 2, 2021, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a letter from <br /> Trapper Mining Inc (TMI), which requested the partial relinquishment of the surface <br /> mineable coal under a portion of Federal Coal Lease C0007519. Under 43 CFR <br /> 3452.1-3, the BLM can approve a relinquishment if it determines (1) the relinquishment <br /> will not impair the public interest, (2) any accrued rentals and royalties have been paid, <br /> and (3) the lessee has 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 <br /> accepting the relinquishment will not impair the public interest. The LSFO found that <br /> TMI met all of its obligations under the terms of the lease and applicable regulations <br /> and is in compliance with the completion of surface operations and coal reserves will <br /> be adjusted in accordance with 43 CFR 3480. Any final surface reclamation and <br /> permanent abandonment procedures remain subject to 43 CFR 3484.2 (b). Further, <br /> the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) reviewed the lease status and <br /> indicated on letter dated Apri 1 14, 2021 there are no accrued rentals and <br /> royalties due. Therefore, pursuant to regulations found at 43 CFR 3452, the BLM <br /> accepts the partial relinquishment of surface mineable coal on coal lease C0007519 <br /> effective February 2, 2021 , the date of filing of the application, including the H, I, L, <br /> M, and Q seams as to the following described lands in Moffat County, Colorado: <br /> INTERIOR REGION 7• U111IR('010RA00 BASIN <br /> (()tk)RAI)O Nl1\ MI\I(() 111111 <br />
