Mr. Joe Carpio - 4 - May 11, 1987 A lication Section 2.03 (Rules 2.03.4 through 2.03.10; Legal, Financial and Compliance Information 2. Jack Wiltse is portrayed as an adjacent landowner on Map 1 but is not listed on Pages 2.03-6 or -7. Please correct this discrepancy and provide Mr. Wiltse's address. 3. A11 references pertaining to interests held or being pursued by La Plata Coal were deleted from the application. From previous conversations and review of Maps 1 and 2, it is the Division's understanding that La Plata Coal will be pursuing future interests (e. g, the Federal coal to the north and east of the proposed permit area). La Plata Coal needs to modify the application to address the interests held or being pursued. 4. The Certificate of Insurance (Exhibit 2) does not pro vidirg sufficient minimum coverage as required in Rule 2.03.9(1). La Plata Coal needs to either verify the requirements of the regulations are being met or submit a new insurance certificate. ication Section 2.04 Geochemical dat indicates that coal, Also, th concentrations sampling plan present within 6 -Geology; 2.04.7 - Hydrology and for the above constituents i a obtained from the coal se a relatively high sulfur co e highwall material appears of magnesium and iron.

The revised permit application indicates that the Huntington Spring exists and that a water right has existed in the past. However, the water rights to this spring may have been abandoned. La Plata Coal needs to document this abandonment by submitting to the Division copies of the appropriate documents on file with the Office of the State Engineer or by submitting a letter from the water right holder of record acknowledging abandonment of this water right. If the water right continues to be active or if the owner of the right cannot be found, La Plata Coal should determine baseline quantity and Duality of the spring flow and propose a monitoring program to determine if mining related impacts to the spring occur. Such a monitoring plan would probably entail no more than biannual site visits to obtain flow Duantity data and measure field parameters. A permit dated February 17, 1987 from the San Juan Basin Health Unit was submitted in Exhibit 3. Recently, we have been informed that an updated permit, dated April 17, 1987, has been issued. This updated permit needs to be submitted for inclusion into Exhibit 3.
