In accordance with C.R,S. 34-33-109(7)(a), the Division <br />makes a determination of the absence of the following criteria which would <br />warrant that the permit not be renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit are not being <br />satisfactorily meet; <br />Z, The present surface coal mining and reclamation operation is not in <br />compliance with all requirements of the Colorado Surface Coal Mining <br />Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 34-33-101 et seg., and the Regulations <br />promulgated thereunder; <br />3, The renewal requested substantially jeopardizes the permittee's <br />continuing responsibility on existing permit areas; <br />4. The operator has not provided evidence that the performance bond in <br />effect for the operation will continue in full force for the proposed <br />period of renewal as well as any additional bond required; <br />5. Any additional revised or updated information as required has not been <br />provided. <br />Based on a preponderance of the evidence, the permit issued to Coors Energy Co <br />meets the requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding part of the permit. Renewal of <br />the permit will be for a term of five (5> years. <br />I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal. <br />MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION <br />Director <br />~8 P9z <br />Da " <br />5553G/scg <br />
