Pursuant to C.R.S. 34-33-109(7), the Colorado Division of Minerals and Geology
proposes to approve the renewal of a permit to conduct surface coal mining and
reclamation operations at the Apex No. 2 Mine (Permit No. C-81-011).
This decision is based on a review of
and the existing permit, including all
April 26, 1993. In accordance with C.
a determination of the absence of the
that the permit not be renewed:
the complete and accurate application
conditions and revisions approved up to
R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes
following criteria which would warrant
The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are not being
satisfactorily meet;
2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is not in
compliance with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining
Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et sec., and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder;
3. The renewal requested substantially jeopardizes the permittee's
continuing responsibility on existing permit areas;
4. The operator has not provided evidence that the performance bond in
effect for the operation will continue in full force for the proposed
period of renewal as well as any additional bond required;
5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has not been
provided.
Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Sunland Mining
Corporation meets the requirements under the right of successive renewal.
The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of
the permit will be for a term of five (5) years.
I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal.
