CO 80203 <br />Phone' (3031 866-3567 <br />FAX. 13031872-8106 <br />PROPOSED DECISION <br />for <br />Approval of Permit Renewal <br />pF' p0~ <br />Nc <br />~~ 4'0 <br />O <br />~•~~ <br />~ /8 T6 <br />Ruy Romer <br />Governor <br />Mirhael B. Long <br />Drvrsion Dueclor <br />Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-33-109(7), the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />proposes to approve with conditions the renewal of a permit to conduct surface <br />coal mining and reclamation operations at the Red Canyon Mine (Permit <br />No. C-81-034). <br />This decision is based on a review of the complete and accurate application <br />and the existing permit, including all conditions and revisions approved up to <br />June 14, 1993. In accordance with C.R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes <br />a determination of the absence of the following criteria which would warrant <br />that the permit not be renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are not being <br />satisfactorily meet; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is not in <br />compliance with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining <br />Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et s~ce ., and the Regulations <br />promulgated thereunder; <br />3. The renewal requested substantially jeopardizes the permittee's <br />continuing responsibility on existing permit areas; <br />4. The operator has not provided evidence that the performance bond in <br />effect for the operation will continue in full force for the proposed <br />period of renewal as well as any additional bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has not been <br />provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to MINREC, Inc. <br />meets the requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of <br />the permit will be for a term of five (5) years. <br />I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal. <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />Director <br />~-----~ <br />STATE OF COLORADO <br />>~1~~~ti3 <br />Date <br />3964G <br />
