<br />The Division of Minerals and Geology hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, Section 118,
<br />Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on July 17, 1997, an application to renew an existing permit to
<br />conduct coat mining operations at the Roadside Portals was considered complete for the purposes of filing. All
<br />review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the Regulations initiate from this date of filing.
<br />The applicant proposes to continue underground coal mining and/or reclamation operations on land located
<br />approximately 5 miles north of Palisade. The permit area is further described as follows:
<br />T10S, R98W, 6th P.M.; Sections 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 34 and 35
<br />T11S, R98W, 6th P.M.; Sections 1, 2, l I, 12, ]3 and 14
<br />T11S, R87W, 6th P.M.; Sections 6, 7 and 18
<br />T1S, R2E, Ute P.M.; Section 1
<br />The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Cameo and Palisade Quadrangle maps.
<br />This application is for successive renewal of a currently permitted operation. The application does not propose any
<br />changes to the existing permit, but would allow operations to continue within the previously permitted area for an
<br />additional 5 year permit term.
<br />A copy of the renewal application is available for public inspection at the Mesa County Courthouse, 544 Rood Ave.,
<br />Grand Junction, CO 81501, and at the Division office. For additional information, to provide written comments,
<br />or request an informal conference, contact the Division of Minerals and Geology, Room 215, 1313 Sherman Street,
<br />Denver, Colorado 80203, (303) 866-3567, or the Grand Junction Field Office, 2148 Broadway #C-5, Grand Junction,
<br />CO 81503, (970) 242-5025, within thirty (30) days after the last public notice in the The Daily Sentinel.
