<br />Pursuant to Title 33, Article 34, Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised
<br />Statutes, the Division of Minerals and Geology hereby issues notice that on
<br />September 7, 1993, an application for renewal of a valid, existing permit to
<br />conduct coal mining operations, Permit No. C-81-012, by Basin Resources, Inc.,
<br />14300 Highway 12, Weston, Colorado 81091, was deemed complete for the
<br />purposes of filing. All reviews and comment periods as provided in the Act
<br />and Regulations promulgated thereunder initiate from this day of filing.
<br />The applicant proposes to continue conducting underground coal mining
<br />operations at the New Elk Mine. This permit renewal is for a five year
<br />period. Coal processing, storage and shipping, along with coal refuse
<br />disposal, is conducted at the New Elk Mine.
<br />The permit area is located approximately 25 miles west of Trinidad, Colorado,
<br />along Highway 12, in the following described lands:
<br />Sections 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 34, 35
<br />and 36 of Township 33 South, Range 68 West; Sections 1
<br />and 2 of Township 34 South, Range 68 West; Sections 30
<br />and 31 of Township 33 South, Range 67 West; and Section 6
<br />of Township 34 South, Range 67 West.
<br />All sections are partially or fully projected by Basin Resources
<br />due to the unsurveyed nature of the Maxwell Land Grant.
<br />The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map
<br />of Vigil, Tercio and Stonewall.
<br />In order for us to approve this renewal application, we are required to
<br />confirm that projections and assumptions in the permit remain valid and that
<br />the operation is in compliance with the approved permit. We are requesting
<br />your agency's evaluation of the renewal application with respect to the
<br />continued validity of the original finding that "the proposed operations will
<br />not adversely affect any publicly owned park or place listed on or those
<br />places eligible for listing, as determined by the SHPO, on the National
<br />Register of Historic Places, unless approved jointly by the Board and the
<br />Federal, State, or local agency with jurisdiction over the park or place".
