Pursuant to Title 34, Article 35, Paragraph 3, of the Colorado Revised
Statutes, the Division of Minerals and Geology hereby issues notice that on
May 10, 1993, a technical revision application for a permit to conduct coal
mining operations by Basin Resources, Inc., 14300 Highway 12, Weston,
Colorado 81091, was deemed complete for the purposes of filing. All reviews
and comment periods as provided in the Act and Regulations promulgated
thereunder initiate from this day of filing.
The applicant proposes to revise underground coal mining operations at the
Golden Eagle Mine. The subject technical revision addresses the installation
of a pond liner in Pond 5. In this way, Pond 5, which is an existing pond,
can be used for sediment control of mine water discharge. Pond 5 will
discharge into the Purgatoire River.
The Golden Eagle permit area is located in:
Sections 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 29, 30
31, 32, 33 and 34, Township 33 South, Range 67 West, and
Sections 3 and 4, Township 34 South, Range 67 West.
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map
of Vigil.
Because the above referenced technical revision application might alter
previously approved permit conditions or mitigation measures, we are
requesting your agency's evaluation of the potential for impacts to threatened
or endangered species of plants or animals, or wildlife species otherwise
protected by federal law. Applicable sections of the revision application are
enclosed. Please advise us if you require additional information.
In order for us to comply with regulatory time frames, we request that
comments be submitted to the Division of Minerals and Geology at the above
address by 5:00 p.m. on July 8, 1993. If no comments are received by this
