This mining plan modification supplements the Colowyo Mine

compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, (3) documentation assuring compliance with applicable
requirements of other Federal laws, regulations, and
executive orders, (4) comments and recommendations or
concurrence of other Federal agencies, and the public, (5)
the findings and recommendations of the Bureau of Land
Management with respect to the resource recovery and
protection plan and other requirements of the Federal lease
and the Mineral Leasing Act, and (6) review of the PAP by
the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division as required by
the Colorado State program and cooperative agreement.
The Secretary may approve a mining plan modification for
Federal leases under 30 U.S.C. §§ 207 (c) and 1273(c).
Pursuant to 30 CFR Chapter VII, Subchapter D, 2 find that
the proposed mining plan will be in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. The decision document for
the proposed mining plan action is attached.
