The revision addresses three <br />stipulations that were attached to TR-42, proposes an alignment change to the permanent <br />oil well access road, and proposes modifications to the approved postmine contours and <br />postmine permanent channel designs within the "A" and "B" Pit reclamation areas. The <br />cover letter to the revision also addresses our request that SCC consider construction of a <br />temporary diversion in the "D" pit area to protect a native channel segment from excessive <br />erosion. <br />COLORADO <br />DIVISION OF <br />MIN&RALS <br />GEOLOGY <br />RECLAMATION•MINING <br />SAFETY•SCIENCE <br />Bill Owens <br />Governor <br />Greg E.
