In accordance <br />with C.R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes the following determinations which warrant <br />that the permit be renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are being satisfactorily met; <br />2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is in compliance with all <br />requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 <br />et seq., and the Regulations promulgated thereunder; <br />3. The renewal requested does not substantially jeopardize the permittee's continuing <br />responsibility on existing permit areas; <br />4. The operator has provided evidence that the performance bond in effect for [he <br />operation will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal as well as any <br />additional bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has been provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to H-G Coal Company meets the <br />requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of the permit will be <br />for a term of five (5) years. <br />I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal. <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />~~y~~ <br />Director Date <br />M \OSSURC\TEMP\CRN15003.11D <br />
