Basin Resources is filing permit revisions as part of the
midterm permit review process. Basin Resources filed for Succession of Operator on May 4, 1992. This action was taken to record the change in Corporate name from Wyoming

Wyoming Fuel Company (WFC) filed the application for a
permit renewal for operations at its New Elk Mine located
near Weston, Colorado. This application complied with all
applicable provisions of Rules 2 and 4 of the regulations.
CF&I Steel Corporation filed that application for a permit
to continue operations at the Allen Mine. WFC purchased the
Allen Mine subsequent to this filing. WFC changed the name to the New Elk Mine. CF&I transferred all permit rights to
WFC in January, 1984. Transference information is provided
