Long, <br />DiviSian Director <br />Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-33-109(7), the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Division <br />proposes to approve the rene~.va1 of a permit to conduct underground coal mining <br />and reclamation operations at the King Coal Mine. <br />This decision is based on a review of the complete and accurate application <br />and the existing permit, including all conditions and revisions approved up to <br />August 6, 1992 In accordance with C.R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes <br />a determination of the absence or" the following criteria which would warrant <br />that the permit not be renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are not being <br />satisfactorily meet; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is not in <br />compliance with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining <br />Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et sew., and the Regulations <br />promulgated thereunder; <br />3. The renewal requested substantially jeopardizes the permittee's <br />continuing responsibility on existing permit areas; <br />4. The operator has not provided evidence that the performance bond in <br />effect for the operation will continue in full force for the proposed <br />period of renewal as well as any additional bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has not been <br />provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to National King <br />Coal, Inc. meets the requirements under the right of successi•ee renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of <br />the permit will be for a term of five (5) years. <br />I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal <br />MINED LAND RECLA.MATICN DIVISION <br />._~ <br />Director <br />re <br /> <br />uSSo~/scg <br />
