In accordance with C.R.S. 34-33-]09(7)(a), the <br />Division makes the following determinations which warrant that the permit be renewed: <br />1. The terms and conditions of the valid, existing permit aze 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. <br />34-33-101 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 the <br />operation will continue in full force for the proposed period of renewal as well as <br />any 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 Seneca Coal Company meets the <br />requirements under the right of successive renewal. <br />The permit application will remain a binding par[ of the permit. Renewal of the permit will be for a term <br />of five (5) years. <br />I conclude that there is no basis for denying the renewal. <br />Stipulation(s) attached; signature is required. <br />DIVISION OF MINERALS AND GEOLOGY <br />w~.~ <br />Authortzed Representarive f.-J <br />Date: <br />PERMITTEE <br />0 <br />Authorized Representative <br />Date: ~ 4; y <br />M \OSSURC\TEMP\CRN 15005.
