Please review Tab 11 of the permit and update as necessary. Please ensure that the Threatened <br /> and Endangered Species list is updated. Since the approval of Permit Renewal No. 8, Grey Wolves <br /> have been included on Colorado's list of threatened and endangered species.

Steep slopes as defined <br /> in Rule 1.04(125) exist in the South Portal disturbed area and they are depicted on Exhibit 6C of <br /> the permit document. As allowed for in Rule 2.06.5, SCC requested an AOC variance with <br /> Permit Revision N o . 3 (PR-3) for these steep slopes to allow for an alternative commercial <br /> postmining land use. <br /> Within PR-3, SCC requested, and the Division approved, a variance from the AOC restoration <br /> requirements for steep slope mining, pursuant to Rules 2.06.5 and 4.27.4. Approval of the <br /> variance has allowed SCC to retain the flat mine bench, the existing shop and warehouse, an <br /> access road and parking areas for the approved commercial postmining land use at the South <br /> Portal facilities area. The specific findings required by Rule 2.06.5 and by Rule 4.27.4 for the <br /> South Portal area are provided in Section B. VIII of the Proposed Decision and Findings of <br /> Compliance for Permit Revision No. 3 dated July 30, 2007. <br /> There are no other permit variance requests or approvals for the Roadside North and South Portal <br /> Mines. <br /> SECTION VI -BONDING SUMMARY <br /> The Division currently holds a surety bond in the amount of$76,229.00.
