The revision <br />was submitted by Trapper Mining Inc.. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the <br />Regulations initiate from this date of filing. <br />This technical revision addresses the submittal of designs and discussion for secondary sediment control basins <br />(dozer basins) and for livestock ponds. The dozer basins are temporary excavations which control sediment on <br />not-yet-reclaimed mine land. Dozer basins drain to primary sedimentation ponds. Each dozer basin is, or will <br />be, typically, less than one acre-foot in size. Although the number of dozer basins will fluctuate, there are <br />about 48 dozer basins at present. <br />Livestock ponds are similar to dozer basins except that they are located on reclaimed mine land and are meant <br />as permanent watering basins for future livestock grazing. A[ present, there are 72 livestock ponds at the mine <br />site, with each one having a containment volume of .33 acre-feet. <br />The surface coal mining operation is on land located approximately six miles southwest of Craig, Colorado. <br />The permit area is further described as follows: <br />Townshio 5 North.
