No. 3.
This decision is based on a review of the complete and accurate application and
the existing permit, including all conditions and revisions approved up to
July 12, 1995. In accordance with C.R.S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division makes a
determination of the absence of the following criteria which would warrant that
the permit not be renewed:
1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are not being
satisfactorily met;
2. The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is not in
compliance with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining
Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et sec., and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder;
3. The renewal requested substantially jeopardizes the permittee's
continuing responsibility on existing permit areas;
4. The operator has not provided evidence that the performance bond in
effect for the operation will continue in full force for the proposed
period of renewal as well as any additional bond required;
5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has not been
provided.
Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Colorado Yampa
Coal Company meets the requirements under the right of successive renewal.
The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of
the permit will be for a term of five (5> years.
I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal.
