FINDINGS OF THE
COLORADO MINED LAND RECLAMATION DIVISION
FOR EAGLE MINE N0. 9
I. Legal. Financial and Comoltance - Rule 2.05
Information pertaining to the legal, financial and compliance requirements is
found in section 2 of the permit application.
Pursuant to Rule 2.07.6(2)(f), the Division finds that this operation does not
involve the surface mining of coal where the private mineral estate to be
mined has been severed from the private surface estate.
Pursuant to Rule 2.07.6(2)(8), the Division finds that the applicant does not
own or control any operations which are currently in violation of any law,
rule, or regulation of the United States, or any State law, rule, or
regulation enacted pursuant to Federal law, pertaining to air or water
environmental protection or any provision of the Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act or the Colorado Surface Coai Mining Reclamation Act.
Pursuant to Rule 2.07.6(2)(h), the Division finds that the applicant does not
control and has not controlled any mining operations with a demonstrated
pattern of willful violations of the Act of such nature, duration, and with
such resulting irreparable damage to the environment as to indicate an intent
not to comply with the provisions of the Act.
Based on the information in the permit application, this section is in
compliance for both Eagle Mines No. 5 and 9.
V. Geology - Rules 2.04.5 and 2.04.6(2)
Geologic information within the permit application can be found on pages
III-5 and III-8 to III-40c; Figures III-1, III-2a to 2h, III-7 to III-17;
Tables III-1 to III-4; Maps III-1, III-2, III-3, III-4, III-6 to 6b, III-11;
Plates III-la to le; and in Appendices III-8a, III-8d, III-15 and III-17. A
summary of the geology is contained in the Description of the Environment and
sub-section C of Section VIII, Probable Hydrologic Consequences and Cumulative
Hydrologic Impact Study, within this findings document.
The applicant provided one analysis of the "P" seam roof, coal and floor
materials in the January 30, 1484 submittal. No potential acid-forming,
toxic-forming, or alkalinity-producing materials were identified, but this
single analysis may not be representative of all strata to be disturbed during
the 5-year permit term in the Eagle No. 9 Mine. The Division requires a
minimum of one core analysis or channel sample per square mile of mine
