The Division of Minerals and Geology hereby issues notice, in accordance with Title 34, Article 33, Section 116,
Paragraph 4, of the Colorado Revised Statutes, that on August 16, 2005, an application to revise coal mining
operations at the Edna Strip Mine was considered complete for the purposes of filing. The revision was submitted
by The Pittsburg & Midway Coal Mining Co.. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the
Regulations initiate from this date of filing.
The revision revises the permit boundary. The area of the permit is reduced by withdrawing some 171.2 acres of
unaffected private land about the perimeter of the permitted area.
The Surface coal mining operation is on land located approximately 5 miles Northwest of Oak Creek, Colorado.
The permit area is further described as follows:
TSN, R85 W, Portions of Sections 31, 32
TSN, R86W, Portions of Section 36
T4N, R86W, Portions of Sections 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 25
T4N, R85 W, Portions of Sections 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 29, 30
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Cow Creek, Oak Creek,
and Rattlesnake, Colorado.
The above-referenced technical revision application would not incorporate additional lands into the permit area,
but reduces the permit area by withdrawal of unaffected land. Other than the reduction, the proposed technical
revision does not alter previously approved permit conditions or mitigation measures.
In accordance with the May 1991 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between our agencies, we must have
your concurrence in order to approve this proposal. We are required to make a finding that "the proposed
operations will not adversely affect any publicly owned park or place listed on or those places eligible for listing,
as determined by the SHPO, on the National Register of Historic Places, unless approved jointly by the Board and
