The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit aze being satisfactorily <br />met; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is in compliance <br />with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, <br />C.R.S. 34-33-101 et seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; <br />3. The renewal requested does not substantially jeopardize the permittee's <br />continuing responsibility on existing permit azeas; <br />4. The operator has provided evidence that the performance bond in effect for <br />the operation will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal <br />as well as any additional bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has been <br />provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Trapper Mining Inc. meets the <br />requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit.
