As a component of the previously <br />approved Technical Revision (TR-29) for expansion of the Sanborn Creek Mine, <br />Oxbow proposed to relocate the existing power transmission line which crosses Elk <br />Creek to the north to provide adequate clearance for the new coal stacking tubes and <br />expanded coal stockpile and to relocate existing Substation No. 1 and associated feed and <br />distribution lines outside of the coal stockpile foundation area. Further discussions with <br />Delta-Montrose Electric Association (DMEA), the local electric utility, and completion <br />of preliminary power distribution plans have result in minor changes in the routing of <br />proposed new powerlines, the addition of another pole set to reduce an extended line <br />span, and the addition of a light-use road to access the new pole location. These changes <br />are described and illustrated by the following revised permit materials which accompany <br />this transmittal: <br />Permit Item Description <br />Page 2.05-Se Mine Facilities Summary Table (page 3, revised to increase the total <br />length of powerline light-use roads) <br />Page 2.05-10 Facilities Description (revised to reflect noted powerline revisions) <br />Page 2.05-131 Roads Description (revised to reflect noted additional light-use road) <br />Page 2.05-20 Reclamation Plan (disturbance area summary revised to include <br />additional powerline and road disturbance) <br />Map E-3213 Mine Facilities Map (revised to show modified powerline routing and <br />new light-use road) <br />P.G.
