In accordance with <br /> C.R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes the following determinations which warrant that the <br /> permit be renewed: <br /> 1. The terms and conditions of the valid,existing permit are being satisfactorily met; <br /> 2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is in compliance with all <br /> requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et <br /> seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; <br /> 3. The renewal requested does not substantially jeopardize the permittee's continuing <br /> responsibility on existing permit areas; <br /> 4. The operator has provided evidence that the performance bond in effect for the operation <br /> will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal as well as any additional <br /> bond required; <br /> 5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has been provided. <br /> Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Trapper Mining, Inc. meets the <br /> requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br /> The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of the permit will be for a <br /> term of five (5) years. <br /> I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal. <br /> DIVISION OF RECLAMATION,MINING AND SAFETY <br /> • A� � <br /> Director Date <br /> C-RN-15 <br />
