RE: Post-Mining Land Use Change at the Trinidad Basin Mine
(Our File No. C-81-048, TR - OS)
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Tohn:
This letter is written to notify you of a proposed decision by the Colorado

the post-mining land use from rangeland/wildlife to residential on the western
half of the Trinidad Basin Mine. The land subject to the proposed land use
change includes the west 1/2 of section 15 and the west 1/2 of section 22,
T31S, R65W of the 6th P.M. in Las Animas County, Colorado. More specifically
the areas involved include portions of lots 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39 and 64
of the Del Agua Canyon Ranches.
This decision complies with the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Rules
for Coal Mining. Specifically, the decision is based in part on Rule 4.16.3,
Alternative Land Use. Two sections of this rule which pertain directly to
this change include determinations by the Division that:

d management agencies,
throughout the surface
4.16.3(3) The proposed use will not present actual or probable hazard
to public health or safety nor will it pose actual or
probable threat of water flow diminution or pollution
contrary to state or federal laws, rules or regulations.
