No additional surface disturbance is <br />proposed as a part of this action. <br />The permit area extension is a result of a 120-acre coal lease modification. Forty (40) acres of <br />this was already included in the mine permit area for support facilities. The remaining 80 acres <br />fall outside the existing permit area which is being extended by TR-62 for inclusion. Mine plan <br />changes are not needed since projected future longwall panels were shown outside the permit <br />area for the last permit revision. IC is recognized that workings shown outside of the permit area <br />require additional approval prior to mining these reserves. A list of permit changes is attached <br />for TR-62. <br />We hope to start development work in the new area by February 15, 2007. Your prompt <br />attention to processing this application is greatly appreciated. <br />This technical revision is being submitted concurrent with TR-63. Thus, a combined public <br />notice is enclosed should both revisions go to public notice at the same time. Individual notices <br />are also included. <br />If you have any further questions please contact me at 970-675-4322. <br />Sincerely, <br />Scou Wanstedt <br />Environmental Engineer <br />swanstedtndeserado.com <br />enc: <br />cc: Jeff Dubbert w/o <br />Paul Daggett - BLM <br />Town of Rangely -public review <br />
