Northfield Partners, LLC (Northfield), P.O. Box 260678, Littleton, Colorado 80163,
has filed an application for a new underground coal mining operation with the State
of Colorado, Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety (DRMS). The permit

Mining Reclamation Act, 1973 C.R.S. 34-33-101 et seq., and Surtace Mining Control

Areas to be affected by proposed surface and underground operations are
encompassed by the proposed Northfield permit area located in south central
Colorado in Fremont County. The Northfield permit area is located approximately
three miles south of the incorporated Canon City. A limited area for mine support

side of Chandler Creek. The proposed mine access and haul road leading to the

miles west of the junction of County Road 79 and County Road 11A.
The mine permit area contains approximately 1,430 acres, bounded on the west by
County Road 77 and its northern limit approaches the south edge of the town of
Brookside. Chandler Creek and County Road 79 bisect the permit area from
southwest to northeast. The eastern permit boundary crosses County Road 79

road.
