As discussed throughout the course of the application, the format will parallel the <br />Colorado coal mining regulations. The application will focus on the requirements of Rule 2, <br />specifically Rule 2.04, Rule 2.05, and certain aspects of Rule 2.01, 2.02, 2.03, and Rule 2.06. <br />Rule 4, Environmental Performance Standards, will be included to generally serve as a cross <br />reference to the main text of this report. <br />2.03.3(1-5) Format and Supplemental Information <br />Colowyo has endeavored to delineate information in this application as clearly and concisely as <br />possible, consistent with the scope of the various regulations involved. Special care has been <br />taken to support all information by technical references and other appropriate authorities. <br />Likewise, attention has been given during the development of this application to document all <br />conclusions with sound technical data. <br />The overburden, soils, water and coal were analyzed for chemical and physical properties by <br />several qualified laboratories. These companies are very familiar with analytical techniques and <br />standardized procedures for sampling of overburden, soils, water and coal. Furthermore, the <br />dates of collection and analysis work are included in the applicable sections. Additionally, in <br />those parts of this application where technical data is presented, the personnel directly <br />responsible for its collection and analysis are specifically identified, together with the dates of <br />collection and analysis, and methodologies used. <br />Laboratory Analysis <br />1.
