Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-33-109(7), the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology
proposes to approve with conditions the renewal of a permit to Conduct surface
coal mining and reclamation operations at the Foidel Creek Mine.
This decision is based on a review of the complete and accurate application
and the existing permit, including all conditions and revisions approved up to
May 23, 1993. In accordance with C.R.S. 34-33-i09(7)(a), the Division makes a
determination of the absence of the following criteria which would warrant
that the permit not be renewed:
1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are not being
satisfactorily meet;
2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is not in
compliance with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining
Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et seg., and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder;
3. The renewal requested substantially jeopardizes the permittee's
continuing responsibility on existing permit areas;
4. The operator has not provided evidence that the performance bond in
effect for the operation will continue in full force for the proposed
period of renewal as well as any addltional bond required;
5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has not been
provided.
Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Twentymile Coal
Company meets the requirements under the right of successive renewal.
The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of
the permit will be for a term of five (5) years.
I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal.
