Re: Trapper Mine (Permit No. C-1981-010)
Permit Revision Application No. 12 (PR-12)
PR-12, L-Pit Additional Cut and AOC Change

Dear Mr. Roberts:

We have received your application to revise your permit to conduct coal mining in Colorado. Our
initial review indicates that all preliminary items required by the Colorado Surface Coal Mining
Reclamation Act, Section 34-33-101 et seq., C.R.S., have been submitted. Thus, your revision
application has been considered complete for the purposes of filing as of October 16, 2024. All
review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the Regulations initiate from this date of
filing.

Unless notification to the contrary accompanies this letter, the proposed newspaper advertisement
submitted with the application has been found to be satisfactory. You should commence publication
of this advertisement as specified in Rule 2.07.3(2) of the Regulations. Proof of the publication of
the advertisement must be filed with the Division no later than four weeks after the last publication
date.

Coincident with the publication, a copy of the revision application, less confidential items, must be
filed for public inspection with the appropriate public office as specified by you in the notice. Any
subsequent changes or additions to the application must also be made in this copy, at the same time
it is submitted to the Division.

This revision application may not constitute a Mining Plan Action. Should, however, the revision
change significantly during the course of the Division’s review, the need for modification of your
federal mine plan could at that time be deemed necessary.

The Division is currently reviewing your revision application to determine whether the items you
have submitted are adequate in terms of meeting the requirements of the Act and Regulations.
Additional information may be required, and in accordance with the provisions of Section
