Re: Foidel Creek Mine (Permit No. C-1982-056)
Technical Revision Application No. 48 (TR-48)
Permit to Construct the 6 North Mains Shaft and Associated Equipment and Facilities.
Deaz Mr. Green:
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 May 25, 2005, an application to revise coal mining
operations at the Foidel Creek Mine was considered complete for the purposes of filing. Twentymile Coal
Company submitted the revision. All review and comment periods as provided in the Act and the Regulations
initiate from this date of filing.
This Technical Revision would permit construct of the 6-North mains shaft and associated ancillary equipment and
facilities.
The underground coal mining operation is on land located approximately 23 miles Southwest of Steamboat
Springs, Colorado. The permit area is further described as follows:
In portions of Sections 7, 8, 9, T4W, R86W; Sections 32 and 33, T6N, R86W; Sections 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 34, 35
and 36 in TSN, R87W; and all of TSN, R86W with the exception of Sections 34, 35, and 36.
The above-mentioned tracts of land are shown on USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle map of Rattlesnake Butte, Cow
Creek, Dunckley, Milner, Mount Hams, and Oak Creek.
Because the above-referenced technical revision application would incorporate additional lands into the permit
area or might otherwise alter previously approved permit conditions or mitigation measures, we are requesting
your agency's evaluation of the potential for impacts to cultural and historic resowces.
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
the Federal, State, or local agency with jurisdiction over the park or place." Therefore, we request that you submit
comments regarding your concurrence with, concerns with, or objections to this proposal. In order that we may
