This decision will be published in the <br />San Miguel Basin Forum, as soon as possible. The first day following publication of the notice <br />initiates a thirty (30) day public comment period. If, within thirty days, there are no requests for <br />an adjudicatory hearing, the decision will become final. <br /> <br />The Division proposes to approve Phase I release on 35.2 acres. 34 acres were backfilled and <br />graded in the western, southern and eastern portions of the permit area to support the post mining <br />land use of dryland pasture. The remaining 1.2 acres are associated with a light use road and a <br />discharge pipe underneath AA Road in the southwestern permit area that are approved to remain <br />as permanent post mining features at the request of the landowners. The Division also proposes <br />to approve the Phase II and Phase III release on 1.2 acres associated with the light use road and <br />discharge pipe underneath AA Road in the southwestern portion of the permit area. As an <br />interested party, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing as outlined under Rule 3.03.2(6) of <br />the Rules and Regulations. The request for an adjudicatory hearing must be written and state with <br />specificity the reasons why the hearing is requested. The request must be received within thirty <br />days of the day following the first publication of the proposed decision in the San Miguel Basin <br />Forum. <br />
