OF MINERALS <br />8 GEOLOGY <br />Re: Oxbow Mining, Inc. -Sanborn Creek Mine (Permit No. C-81-022), Minor Revision MR- <br />47 -Removal of Material from East Refuse Pile for Fill <br />Dear Mr. Kline: <br />Accompanying this transmittal is a copy of the Colorado Division of Minerals and <br />Geology's (DMG) Proposed Decision Form for Minor Revision MR1F7, along with copies <br />of all permit application materials and supporting documentation associated with this <br />revision. Minor Revision MR-47 addresses the removal and use of coal refuse materials from <br />the existing permitted East Yard Refuse Pile as base fill for the expanded coal stockpile <br />previously approved as a component of Technical Revision TR-29. Use of this material is <br />necessary because adequate volumes of fill are not available from other existing on-site <br />sources and Oxbow Mining, Inc. (OMI) wishes to avoid the additional surface disturbance <br />which would be required to develop a new on-site borrow source. <br />Specifically, this submittal includes the Proposed Decision Form signed by the DMG's <br />authorized representative and copies of revised permit materials (text and appendices) from <br />the MR-47 Minor Revision submittal. Revised permit materials should replace the <br />corresponding pages in the Somerset and Sanborn Creek Mines Permit document. After <br />you have had opportunity to review the accompanying materials please feel free to coniact <br />me with any questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />\~atson for Oxbo~• Carbon ~ Minerals, Irc. <br />~~ <br />Manager <br />JMN:sIw <br />cc: Thomas C.
