Hernandez <br />Senior Environmental Protection Specialist <br />Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology <br />1313 Sherman Street, Room 215 <br />Denver, CO 80203 <br />RE: KERR COAL COMPANY - MARK MINE (PERMIT No. C-80-006) <br />MR-25 & TR-16 REQUEST <br />Dear Mr. Hernandez: <br />Accompanying this letter is Kerr Coal Company's (Kerr) <br />application and supporting materials requesting approval of a Minor <br />Revision (MR-25) and Technical Revision (TR-16) Included with <br />this transmittal are three copies of the following: <br />• MR-25 Application Form <br />• TR-16 Application Form and Public Notice <br />• Summary of Revisions and Additions <br />• Revised Permit Text and Map <br />MR-25: Mining operations at Kerr Coal Company's ("Kerr") Marr <br />Mine have ceased (1993) and reclamation activities <br />include Phase I Bond Release and reseeding of the cover <br />(mulch) crop for the 720 Area; Excess Bond Reduction for <br />the mine site and currently, reconfiguration of the Pit <br />#1 Area as per Technical Revision 13 (TR-13). <br />Accordingly, with the cessation of coal and overburden <br />haulage, Kerr respectfully requests DMG's approval to <br />change the classification of Kerr's Haul Roads A and B <br />from "Haul Road" to "Light-Use Road". As reclamation <br />activities conclude, it will only be necessary to use the <br />roads occasionally for monitoring, maintenance, etc. <br />Said roads will be narrowed for light vehicle use with <br />erosion control features and reconstruction as per Rule <br />4.03.3(1) through (7) inclusive, plus 16 foot width <br />buffer zones (existing) for heavy snow removal. <br />TR-16: Since MR-25 and TR-16 are analogous, Kerr includes the <br />request for TR-16 with this submittal. Safety Berm <br />Ditches #1 and #2 and the related Drop Structure #2 were <br />designed for road surface water run-off from the wide <br />haul road. By narrowing the road and changing it to <br />C: \WPDOCS\TR16-L£T 1 <br />
