• Part 1 <br />Application form (attached) <br />Part 2 <br />Explanation of Proposed Use end Need £or Use <br />Coors Energy Co., a subsidiary of The Adolph Coors Company, a <br />corooratron formed under the laws o£ the State of Colorado, has a <br />Mrning Fermit issued by The Mined Land Reclamation Division of The <br />Department of Natural Resources to operate a coal mine known as the <br />Keenesburg Mine in Weld County, approximately six miles north of the <br />Town of Keenesburg, in Sections 25,26,35 and 36 of Township 3 North, <br />Range 64 W, of the Sixth Principal Meridian, State of Colorado. <br />The coal mined (1000 Tons/Day) at this location is trucked to the <br />parent company power plant in Golden, CU. The ash waste <fly ash <br />and bottom ash) generated by this operation is presently slurried <br />from the holding bin on a daily basrs, reduced by centrifuging in <br />moisture content to 30: by weight and truc1ced to the Parfet clay pit <br />in Golden. The quantities are 50 c.y. daily of flyash and 50 c.y. <br />daily mixed bottom ash. 7'he material has a texture resembling sandy <br />clay that is dry enough to be handled by ordinary dump trucks and <br />• wet enough to no t. cause any fugitive dust problems in the... <br />municipality. <br />Coors proposes to change the waste disposal site from the present <br />location or to concurrently use the Keenesburg Mine. The mine <br />disposal sites would be located at the ends of the mine strips as <br />shown on the attached area map and would be changed every six months <br />or so, as required reclamation follows the mining operation. In <br />other words, each smell disposal site would be used to collect <br />approximately 18,000 cubic yards of this wet flyash/bottom ash <br />mixture after which time the site would be returned to original <br />contour, topsoiled and seeded. The sites would all be above the <br />spoil around-water table as presently monitored in the reclamation <br />areas and at least four feet below final reclamation elevation. The <br />sites would be in Laramie clays which in their natural state are <br />quite impervious and in most cases would also be covered with clay <br />• <br />-2- <br />
