RULE 4 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> Rule 4 Performance Standards <br /> 4.01 General Provisions <br /> 4.01.1 Scope and Objectives <br /> Rule 4 establishes the minimum environmental protection performance standards adopted and <br /> implemented under the Colorado regulatory program for surface coal mining and reclamation <br /> operations. <br /> Colowyo has included information within this Section to insure that surface mining activities are <br /> conducted in compliance with the performance standards and in a manner which maintains <br /> environmental values. <br /> 4.02 SIGNS AND MARKERS <br /> 4.02.1 Specifications <br /> Colowyo has posted and will maintain all signs and markers required by this section. All of the <br /> signs are of uniform design and can be easily seen or read. The signs are made either of metal or <br /> wood; they are durable enough to withstand extreme climatic conditions that are inherent at the <br /> operations. The signs conform with local ordinances and codes. <br /> Colowyo will maintain signs and markers during the conduct of all activities to which they pertain. <br /> 4.02.2 Mine and Permit Identification Signs <br /> Appropriate signs identifying the mine area are displayed at all major point of access to the permit <br /> boundary from Highway 13and Moffat County Roads 17, 32, and 51. These signs indicate the <br /> name, business address, and telephone number of Colowyo and identification numbers of mining <br /> and reclamation permits. <br /> 4.02.3 Perimeter Markers <br /> The perimeter of the permit boundary is marked with metal signs and/or wire fencing where <br /> appropriate. Additional markers, if deemed necessary, include steel fence posts painted orange or <br /> capped with PVC caps painted orange. <br /> In 2014, working in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, Colowyo upgraded some <br /> existing grazing fences within the permit boundary, and installed new fences along several portion <br /> of the permit boundary south and west of the South Taylor Pit that were previously signed but not <br /> fenced. This collective effort allowed greater visibility of Colowyo's permit boundary, Colowyo <br /> private properties, and provided a greater public safety boundary on BLM lands adjacent to the <br /> active mining area. <br /> Rule 4 Performance Standards 4-1 Revision Date: 12/20/19 <br /> Revision No.: TR-135 <br />
