The Division <br /> found the application complete on August 14, 2025. Public notice activities are detailed <br /> below in Section 3.1.2. <br /> PR-05 was submitted by the Colowyo Coal Company to revise the post mining land use for <br /> the Gossard Loadout area in support of planned infrastructure for a water treatment facility <br /> that will be constructed in that area in 2026. The only change included in this Permit <br /> Revision is the change of post mining land use from rangeland/ fish and wildlife habitat to <br /> industrial use from the Gossard rail loop area to Moffat County Road 51. <br /> PR-05 does not propose any changes to permitted, affected or disturbed acreage amounts at <br /> the site. The surface area proposed for industrial land use is owned by Colowyo Coal <br /> Company L.P. Coal ownership for the area is primarily Colowyo Coal Company L.P. with <br /> a very small portion owned privately. With approval of PR-05, the total disturbed area <br /> would remain 5,384.40. <br /> The Division reviewed the application and provided Colowyo with a preliminary adequacy <br /> review dated August 26, 2025.
