Division DireUOr
The Division has received the above referenced Notice of Intent to
Conduct Coal Exploration. In order to expedite the review process,
the Division has combined the completeness review with a
preliminary adequacy review.
Completeness
The NOI application is complete except for the following:
1) Right of access from the various landowners for the drill
sites and seismic transects,
2) Exploration License from the Bureau of Land Management
~B~) .
3) Cultural Resources inventory and clearance from the both
BLM and the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO),
4) Threatened and Endangered Species clearance from both the
Colorado Division of Wildlife (CDOW) and the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
With reference to 1), above, the Division understands that there
are many different landowners for the various drill sites, that
obtaining right of access may be a time-consuming process, that
right of access may be obtained more easily and quickly from some
landowners than from others, and that the proposed duration of
exploration activities is from October, 1994 through September,
1996. If the approval of the entire NOI is delayed because of
delays in obtaining right of access from several of the landowners,
