<br />Dear Moffat County Commissioners:
<br />
<br />This letter is to inform you that the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety is
<br />proposing to approve a renewal application for a coal mining and reclamation permit. The
<br />application was submitted by Blue Mountain Energy, Inc on May 8, 2024, for the Deserado Mine.
<br />
<br />Any person with an interest which may be adversely affected by the proposed decision may request
<br />a formal hearing before the Mined Land Reclamation Board within 30 days of the date following the
<br />first publication of this notice by the Division in the Rio Blanco Herald-Times.
<br />
<br />The underground mine is located approximately 7 miles Northeast of Rangely, Colorado. The permit
<br />area is further described as follows:
<br />
<br />Portions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, and 12, T2N, R101W, 6th PM, all in Rio Blanco County;
