Box 773749 <br />Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 <br />Phone: (970) 879-2704 <br />Re: Activity PP2007-031 <br />Administrative Permit Application -Coal Exploration <br />Colorado Coal Resources LLC Cow Camp Project <br />Dear Mr, Phillips: <br />via Hand Delivery <br />RECEIVED <br />JUL 11 2001 <br />Division of Reclamation, <br />Mining and Safety <br />On behalf of Colorado Coal Resources, LLC (CCR), attached please find a revised Project <br />Description/Narrative for the Cow Camp Project Administrative Permit Application, Activity PP2007- <br />031, which was submitted to Routt County Planning Department on June 12, 2007. The revised <br />Project Description/Narrative (dated 7/10/07} replaces the existing Project Description/Narrative. <br />The Project Description/Narrative has been revised in response to an adequacy comment received <br />from the Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety (CDRMS). In particulaz, CDRMS <br />noted "On June 25, 2007, the Division received a Referral Agency Notice of Application from the <br />Routt County Planning Department regarding activities proposed in the NOI. A discrepancy seems to <br />exist between activities proposed in the NOI and activities described to Routt County. <br />It is stated on the second page of the June 8, 2007 NOI cover letter to the Division that "it is <br />anticipated that no road construction will be required to access the sites, since most are adjacent to <br />existing roads or undeveloped jeep trails... " However, it is stated under paragraph 10 of the Project <br />Descriation/Narrative of the Referral Agency Notice that "the only topsoil stockpiles or windrows will <br />be located along any roads that are constructed and at the drill sites. Any recovered soil materials <br />will be windrowed off the edges ofnewly-constructed roads and on the upslope perimeter of the drill <br />sites. " This language seems to suggest that roads could be constructed under the NOI. <br />Please address this discrepancy. If it is the language in the Project Description/Narrative that is <br />incorrect, please submit a revised Project Description/Narrative to Routt County correcting the <br />discrepancy, and provide us with a copy of that revised Project Description/Narrative." <br />P.O.
