In accordance with C.R.S. <br />34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes the following determinations which warrant that the permit be <br />renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are being satisfactorily met; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is in compliance with al] <br />requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-]O1 et <br />seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; <br />3. The renewal requested does not substantially jeopazdize the permittee's continuing <br />responsibility on existing permit azeas; <br />4. The operator has provided evidence that the performance bond in effect for the operation <br />will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal as well as any additional <br />bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has been provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Coors Energy Company meets the <br />requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of the permit will be for a <br />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 />`3 O <br />Date <br />C-RN~15_C1981028_aGW_20010831_1Ot721 AM <br />~°- `/ <br />
